All Blacks v Argentina I

[sparky]

We were 21 points ahead.

Then Finley fucking Christie came on.

And now we're under serious pressure.

Dumb selections cost you Test matches.

[booboo]

That shot by us on the hakfback would have melted down Fleet Street if it was in the last minute of a Lions test

[Victor Meldrew]

OK, let me get this right. We're in a bad place, you replace the front row, give momentum to Argentina.

And you take your captain off?

Is this some kind of hardening exercide?

[stodders]

@Victor-Meldrew test?

Dumb from Proctor.

He really hasn't impressed at test level so far.

[antipodean]

I yearn for the days of Foster and Schmidt.

Yep seems crazy and we are paying for it.

[sparky]

@antipodean Not sure.

They (Foster and Schmidt) picked Christie ahead of Roigard.

[Mattasaurus]

Pumas playing well, keeping the ball in hand and showing some urgency .... some of our boys need to fire up.... feels like we're losing but the score is 31 - 17

[stodders]

@sparky Roigard isn’t fit, no?

[Yeetyaah]

Roigard is injured, as is Hotham

[sparky]

@stodders Yes, but he was available for the 2023 RWC Final. And he was left out of the 23.

Sorry for the confusion.

We had lost all momentum long before the bench changes.

[akan004]

Argentina with all the momentum now. We need to get some possession.

[Frank]

Probably a relief or we were about to have a 2nd player in the bin

[Chris]

Powered straight through Christie and Savea

[Wurzel]

What's the point of Proctor?

[antipodean]

Why is the ginger going into pillar at ruck? WTF is he going to achieve against forwards?

[ACT Crusader]

No depth in our kicking to get the ball out of our half. Either from halfback or our first receiver
