RWC SF1: Argentina v New Zealand

[sockwithaticket]

Did an Argentinian shag Gardner's missus? He's riding them hard. A lot of marginal stuff being called against them and it's really not like the ABs need the help.

[robmatic]

Now Argentina are about to lose a player to the bin on very marginal penalties.

Ref is riding them. More big team reffing.

Could not have said it better.

A lot of instructions to one team and whistling the other. Not going to effect the result just the margin.

[Sandstorm]

These Aussie clowns need to back to ref school together.

[Bloutoria]

Could someone pass a rulebook to the refs?

[Stranger]

Yep it is not as if the ABs are going to need Gardners help

[tcc_dc]

serious question, how can they review if a ball was touched on a kick but not whether WHitelock dropped the ball on the lineout?

[Sandstorm]

First scrum. 28 mins.

[petej]

Mounga is an outstanding player.

Stop ref bashing FFS


Btw it should be a law book

[Bloutoria]

That here there lineout was pure comedy.

Hey they are in a frenzy the least decision that goes the ABs way is a major issue, anything going to the Pumas is of course fine.

Its poor both ways, tbh.

[Jethro]

ABs look to be in second gear, only caught the last 5 minutes.

[Big D]

Gardner is not a good ref and has made mistakes but his early penalties v Argentina in the maul were right.

[PCPhil]

So typical that when there is a penalty against NZ that another penalty to stop a try happens.

[Jethro]

Oh dear god the Aussie commentators are fucking terrible

[Tichtheid]

The ones in the lead up to the mauls were wrong - hands on the deck at the ruck and then no contact in the air at the lineout - when you get a maul going it's very difficult to not get penalties in your favour and the mauls were as a result of dodgy decisions

Fuck off. If those 2 out there can’t work out where a lineout should take place, they’re shite. Doesn’t matter who the fan favours.

Was thinking penalty try there to be honest

Noticed that. Was thinking the cynicism of it was potentially yellow card worthy but no replay to confirm.

The second one was so blatant and worth a yellow, but Angus was on the wrong side to see it

[Ymx]

Neutrals frothing I see

Not sure what the TMO was doing

[Jethro]

Do the Aussie commentators actually know the laws of the game?

[Kiwias]

Weak defense on Telea there

[Sandstorm]

Telea harder to hold than a greased pig.

[Simian]

Dreadful defence there

[tcc_dc]

terrible...wtf was Argentina doing....

Me neither

[Ymx]

Great stuff by Telea

[sockwithaticket]

Game fully over.

FFs just enjoy the rugby and stop bashing the ref

[Tichtheid]

I'd really like to see the scrum again from the other side, but that was weak defence and really good attack.

[Sandstorm]

Boring Test. Crowd appear to be watching Tic toc.

6-20 HT

[Bloutoria]

Looks like Argies suitcases are already packed. Don't they know about the 3rd place game?

[Insane_Homer]

Whitelock beyond the ruck in the 22 on attack illegally holding players, ignored. Consistency please Angus

Precious little to cheer about unless you're supporting NZ and from the early response it seemed like the majority were trying to get behind Argentina.

[PCPhil]

Nah. Just want a match.
