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.

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

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

Pumas kicking as been accurate and contestable

ABs kicking has been woefully inaccurate.

And that is largely the difference in the game

YC for collapsing come on

The Argies will get cynical here.

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

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.

Our backplay across the country is seriously awful.

Our handling and inability to maintain possession has created this scoreline.

VERY lucky not to get a YC for FOUR penalties in a row on their own line!

booboo

Scrum. Ok

Just turned on the game - WTF? - who do I blame?

"Just give it to Newell" is not something I was expecting to wish for.
