Hodge likely to remain at No.10

Reece Hodge is set to keep the Wallabies No.10 jersey for their must-win Tri-Nations match against Argentina on Saturday.

Hodge was praised in their victory over the All Blacks for his composed display at fly-half, where he set-up the opening try of the match, shored up the defence in the front-line and kicked well from both hand and off the tee.

But questions remain over whether the 26-year-old is a genuine long-term playmaker or simply a stop-gap measure.

If Hodge can lead the Wallabies to another victory against a fired-up Pumas side, who defeated the All Blacks for the first time in their 35-year history last weekend, he will go a long way in convincing officials, including at the Melbourne Rebels, that he is a genuine 10 option.

Australia face Argentina at 8.45pm this Saturday.
