All Blacks v Argentina I

[kpkanz]

Another pointless dumb Beauden kick while we have a penalty advantage and could actually use the ball instead.

Clockwork. He must be the most charismatic person off the field to keep getting picked.

[Stockcar86]

we are doing much better when we just keep the ball in the forwards

[Frank]

RUTHLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ACT Crusader]

Maul has been very very good

[ACT Crusader]

Argies look stuffed

BB kicking game - why?

Great ABs teams never kicked it this much. It’s crazy.

I can't remember Robertson's Crusaders sides kicking away this much ball.

[Tordah]

Christie joining the maul incorrectly shoud have ruled out that try

[akan004]

Tbf they have done well in the last 10 minutes. Showed good composure to take the game away from Argentina.

[canefan]

That's how you farken do it

[Donsteppa]

Not quite a proverbial game of two halves. Perhaps a game of three thirds...

[Victor Meldrew]

We've weathered the storm and played to our strengths. Have to ask whether Ardie is a better choice as captain.

Take the try….. you clowns

Still think they were clowns for not taking 3.

I don’t. A number of the Argies were hands on hips and looking tired.

Get your point, but the risk of not scoring was way higher. Risk-Reward-Consequnce.

Could have no complaints if they called that

I agree. But they simply do not call those these days because every team does it.

same story as with kickers not respecting the mark. Refs just need to start calling these

Exactly.

I hate some of the cope I see claiming this is just international rugby.

We dominated international for decades holding the ball, high percentage plays with high returns.

We have the complete opposite with Beauden. Low percentage plays that don't even return much when they come off anyway.

[antipodean]

ALB gives away a completely unnecessary penalty for diving on a player on the ground. How predictable.
