Tri Nations: All Blacks vs Pumas: MATCH THREAD: Sat 14th Nov

Argentina with the easiest and almost uncontested turn over in rugby history. Where the fuck are our loosies protecting the ball.

[Jimmy Smallsteps]

Reckon Argentina not being given enough credit too. They were epic tbf.

You're quite right, Argentina were fantastic. As an ABs suporter, I'm just shocked at how poorly they played. Two weeks in a row of turgid shit with nothing to show for it takes time to process.

No creativity, no nous, nothing.

Even the good old club rugby "quick hands" was beyond this All Blacks side.

They were dire.

Do you have to force us to endure the game a second time...

[ScarfaceClaw]

Christ. This one off the ruck crash ball is going nowhere. Change the fucking plan. We’re getting minced in the tackle and dominated at the ruck.

Oh and for fucks sake, where is the defence at the breakdown. He’s run right through the middle of us.

I’m 32 minutes into the first half.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Tissue paper scrum. We melted like a bog roll in a puddle.

Yep, Plumtree and Feek are clearly piss poor replacements for Cron.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Argentina are niggly as fuck but getting away with it. Like the All Black teams of yester year would have.

And for the love of fucking Christ, Dick Mo blasts the penalty dead.

It's like seeing of the last beer then someone pulls out a hidden bottle of fine malt.

[Wild Beef]

That was a very good post jm2k6.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Half time analysis. Argies have dominated every aspect of that match. Rucks, scrums, destroyed us at the breakdown. Tackling has been immense. Even better at the niggle than we are.

All Blacks. Aimless shite. One off crash ball that is being easily dealt with every time. Loosies not working as a unit and we’re being picked off at will at the breakdown. Joggie Barrett offers little threat. ALB and Goodhue don’t seem to be working well together. Dick Mo and that kick to the corner. Wanker.

And that fine malt turns out to be vinegar...

I love R Mo as has been well documented but he really needs to get the overcooked penalty kick out of his system. Just take a shorter distance.

[ScarfaceClaw]

I’m getting a cup of tea. 2nd half will resume shortly.

[stunt_cunt]

Lol. Bunch of turkeys. Wasn't even close, just complete and utter shit.

That's all Fozzie. Fuck knows what that gameplan started out as.

[ScarfaceClaw]

And great, one off crash shite getting laughed at by the Argie defence. We then lose the ball too easily.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Coles takes a few seconds out from trying to have a fight and throws into the line out. Great attacking ball and no one seems quite sure what is happening with the ball. Joggie drops it.

To top it off, scrum penalty.

[ScarfaceClaw]

That advantage was so long the Argies will be getting a random penalty 5 minutes into their next game.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Sanchez is a beautiful kicker of the ball. It’s an almost effortless motion and the ball goes a mile.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Joggie sprints off after being subbed. Or walks. They’re both fairly similar.

Taylor continues not being a great line out thrower by missing his first line out.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Try for NZ very much against the run of play. Savea gets a mention by appearing in the game.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Caleb Clarke with a mark and takes the kick to touch. All of about 5 feet. Shouting at the TV now.

[ScarfaceClaw]

At least Cheika doesn’t have that stupid fucking waving cat thing in the coaches box.

[ScarfaceClaw]

And Taylor with another shit line out throw. Seriously Cody, this is why you don’t start ahead of fighty Coles.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Yay. Change of plan. Oh, wait. The crash ball is what we were trying for the whole rest of the fucking match.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Snecky off. He’s one of the few All Blacks who hasn’t been shit. Him, Whitelock who was a lone forward for most of the match and Beauden Barrett. Dick Mo is ruined by that kick to touch.

And as I type, Rioko drops it cold in a back line move. It’s not too early to start drinking is it?

[ScarfaceClaw]

Good ball in the 22 and we crash it. Over and over and over. Great defence by the Argies.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Tuipolotu leaves the field. Haven’t noticed he was on the field this half to be honest.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Hollywood pass from the base of the scrum and it was so bad I think I saw the ball going past my window.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Tap penalty and Bishop Desmond Sotutu get splattered on the crash. And turn over ball. Take the fucking scrum or line out.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Argies in the crowd rightly celebrating and going mental. That is a magnificent penalty by Sanchez.

[ScarfaceClaw]

There’s no point bothering to turn up at the rucks now Savea. There’s a minute left. Where were you for the last 79 minutes.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Clarke scores a massively undeserved consolation try at the end.

Congrats Argentina. You were magnificent.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Foster out.

[handyman]

The kiwis were complaning about the Boks not playing. They should be glad about it. They were fcuking nowhere.
Well done to Argentina, epic performance and so happy for you.
Hard luck nz, I'm sure Foster and co will fix this pretty soon.

[Jimmy Smallsteps]

Foster out.

Not emphatic enough.

Foster

OUT

We all knew the job would be beyond the useless cunt.

Perhaps the "world champs" should have sacked up like the Argies and come out to play.

Overrated and quite dumb. Remember when Gardner bagged him for interefering with the halfback and he just gave up and let him run for 40 metres? Classic dumb Ardie.

[Jimmy Smallsteps]

Reminds me of a UK witticism. Apparently to get a 2:2 degree is to earn oneself a "Desmond".

You want to take on the Boks? You can't even beat Arg.

Pumas! Well done lads. Putting nz wins over Aus in perspective.
