All Blacks v Argentina II

[DaGrubster]

Time to stand up and become proper All blacks.

The high ball catching is terrible. They don’t even jump up in the line of the ball.

Make or break time for this team show some ticker.

I have a plan to get us back into this game.

Get some ball, then 2 rucks later kick it back to them with a bad box kick, or dinky chip and chase from inside our 22.

This is so dumb. It’s such a bad game plan. Yet BB has been doing it for years.

Too little too late

[Darth Sader]

A try and we’re back in this

[No Quarter]

We were gaining ascendancy up until we got those cards, then we haven't been able to recover. Need to keep it tight and crunch them with our pack again just like last match.

I live in hope.

Good scrum. Now get an attacking lineout and start working

Oh we are right in this, especially given how the teams finished the game last week

[nostrildamus]

If I were a coach I'd be tempted to tell them not to keep practising the stuff they are clearly crap at during the actual game.

This display shows cracks in the coaching/management off the field.
Looking clueless comes from preparation

You sure we started with AS and Cortez knocking it on and giving away 3 penalties. Not sure we have ever had the upper hand in this.

[His Bobness]

@kidcalder Or too much preparation

We went bang bang two tries, you could have heard a pin drop in the stadium. Then the cards...

Edit - but yes it was a very poor start as well

[Mattasaurus]

Pumas kicking as been accurate and contestable

ABs kicking has been woefully inaccurate.

And that is largely the difference in the game

[No Quarter]

YC for collapsing come on

[ACT Crusader]

The Argies will get cynical here.

Multiple infringements

Sometimes you need to acknowledge you are playing shit and just drop it off to a Nonu or Kaino type for some direct yards.

We try miracle chips and silly offloads.

Just carry like Newell did for his try or Matera in the build up to theirs.

Head down and pump the legs.
