Ireland v Argentina
-
Great game to watch for a neutral. Ireland's discipline let them down during the second half but the rare Argentinian faults were really stupid.
-
Ref hatcheted Argentina, particularly in the final drive. Repeated green infringements.
Im getting sick of how normalised players getting carded is though....Rugby is a bit shit these days isnt it.
Im fed up of listening to refs and TMO's talk to each other.
Its fucking insufferable.

@Frank how so?
Are you saying Ireland are still really good to beat a team that beat us at home or really bad that they just scraped past Argentina?

I am saying Ireland are in decline and the team we beat was not nearly as good as a year back.

@Frank you could say the same about us not being as good as we were then either, but that we are more likely on an incline....

Sure, we seem to be improving, but that win should be put into perspective now we have seen them almost losing to Argentina at home. They look rudderless.

They definitely appear poorer without the players who retired after the RWC. They will try to rebuild

Worth remembering that Argentina also beat the Boks this year. They are quite good when they get their shit together. There really isn't much between the top sides, so that is about the only perspective that I'm getting out of it. Doesn't really change my view of our win at all.

Slowly but surely we’re seeing more and more censure for human ‘Exocet missiles’ entering the ruck with abandon
That is a train I can get on board with

Can they get more birthright players to bolster their squad?
