Looking forward to this test. Hope Pumas keep up their last week form.

Is here any Aussie posters except AC and the green vokker?

Yep, should be interesting. Can Argentina keep the same intensity or are they still not quite ready to tick off two big names back-to-back.

No. We are all hiding behind our couch.

I expect the Pumas to play in a focussed and effective manner. Whether the Wobs can successfully counter that we will know beginning in about 23 minutes.

[Trapper]

Won’t be easy for the Argies to back up from last week but I wish that all the best.

National anthems being sung now

Gotta love the Argentine National Opera...

Ball carrier rewarded for not trying to stay on his feet. Dumbest of all the dumb laws in rugby.

Remember this time last week your friend had a link.

[Glaston]

Refs already missed heaps.

Not straight throw from Aus
blocking by yellow 6

I’ve actually never though of that before, you have a good point.

"Rewarded" even. Sp checker!

My pet hate. Apparently rugby is a game to be played by players on their feet....

Where the carrier goes to ground because he is brought down or is genuinely trying to make progress, I'm fine. But you see this all the time. Carrier gets held up but lifts his legs off the floor or battles to get a knee down, should be immediate turnover: free kick to defending side.

Look at the sweat on those guys.... different sort of game already from last week.

[TheNatalShark]

Can't get over how rubbish and distracting all the field logos are.

[Torquemada 1420]

1st thought, dead.

[Taranaki Snapper]

in the paint...

[Torquemada 1420]

And dead it is.

[Torquemada 1420]

Didn't that law change?

i.e. used to be only the ball needed to be in play and player being beyond dead ball line was irrelevant?

[Torquemada 1420]

Chocolate-bars having another defensive blinder.

[Lemoentjie]

The Argentine 12 defence is very good so far

[Torquemada 1420]

Not sure, from Aus perspective, turning down all these 3s is a good plan.

[Trapper]

Aussies not taking their chances at all, could come back and bite them.

CGI, not really thee

[Torquemada 1420]

Aussies in "can scrum" shocker.

[Torquemada 1420]

Hooper "I'm part of the tackle ref".

Errrr.... yeah, but the player you took out was not.

Yes, left out. Normal painted ones are fine, but when CGI and they disappear between shots breaks a bit of suspense of disbelief.


Wtf is the ref apologising to Hooper, he made the correct call.

[Trapper]

Hooper "I'm part of the tackle ref".

Errrr.... yeah, but the player you took out was not.

Hahaha

If you are holding the ball, then the player must not be in touch or in touch-in-goal. If the player is merely grounding the ball, he can be in touch or in touch-in-goal. I think he had the ball in his hands so it is no try.

Harsh pen? Other way?

Whatever, now Aus go for the 3.

Thanks

MISSED THE NIPPLE!! :(

[Flockwitt]

Argies really struggling with the conditions. Barely got more than a couple of phases together...

[Torquemada 1420]

Dumb red coming

[Torquemada 1420]

Sanchez hand to face just not smart in the current climate.

[Lemoentjie]

So forward

[Torquemada 1420]

FWD FFS. Aus commentators clueless.

Sanchez a lucky boy.
