All Blacks v Argentina I

[sparky]

Nice to have a good lead at half time.

All Blacks not always slick, but competing very well. Ardie Savea probably the pick of the ABs.

[canefan]

Say what you want about Reece. But he's playing well tonight

[antipodean]

Credit to Ratima - he saw that the ball needed to be spun straight to Reece.

Made a nice run from the base to get us really moving forward too

[Frank]

Let's not to do a Bok choke and we'll be right.

[Canes4life]

Thats more like it, strong carry from Proctor, snipe from Ratima, a good carry from Kirifi and quick ball to Reece. That’s what happens when we don’t kick it.

[canefan]

I reckon we need a bigger lead to compensate for our bench....

[Darth Sader]

Icing on the cake there for the first half. Puts a nice shine on things.

[Tordah]

Whenever Beauden kicks I'm expecting a miss, he always looks like he doesn't take them seriously and only stabs at them. Been pretty good so far, though

@ACT-Crusader even wothout our 2 best props

Maybe Newell is one of our best 2 props now.

He's been excellent

Barrett had been carrying an injury, possibly limiting his play.
That being said, Holland and Patty T are a very powerful combo and if Scooter can't surpass them, then Ardie should be captain. There should be no favors.

Scooter is better than Patty T for me. PT is a big body and playing well. But Scooters intensity in the tackle is better and PT is another Blues player who struggles with his hands at times.

His low centre of gravity certainly helped in that last try scoring opportunity.

The 10-12-13 not quite humming in that half.

Forwards have been good overall.

Are you saying Christie and ALB AREN’T impact players !?!?

[Mattasaurus]

Tight 5 and Vaa'i, have been particularly good, we have scary good depth at prop now.

I remain unconvinced on both Savea and Kirifi starting.

Good score before half time.

Frenchie has been surprisingly good with only a couple of French flairs

He's been excellent

And excellent throughout French series.
He worked on his mobility too.

Negative impact

[canefan]

The mistiming in the backs seems to be due to us forcing the play when we shouldn't. When we go direct it opens up better. Who'd have thunk it.

How boorish is this crowd? Nothing but hissing and boos as we score. I don't expect them to be happy, but reluctant applause isn't too much to ask?

Welcome to argentina!
