Wallabies v Los Pumas I

[JA]

@Smuts Interesting. It's a small sample size for this year so it's possible but I do think their breakdown work is more proficient. It's bloody hard to find decent stats on the overall penalty counts though - like average per team per year. (I feel like we're trending in the wrong direction.)

@JA be interesting to see if that continues or reverts to the mean.

My sense is that their charmed relationship with whistleblowers this year has been unrelated to their discipline/accuracy.

Interesting take.

You could argue they got a bit of a raw prawn in Lions 2 and Boks 2 for certain decisions. Not sure where the "charmed" bit comes from.

[Smuts]

@JA agree that the sample size is small.

Also it’s difficult to get beyond vibe when looking at a side’s actual v expected penalty count in a match/area of the field over a season etc.

Who’s everyone picking in this one? Kind of wanting the Aussies to win which is weird.

[Canes4life]

Massive defence from the Argies to start.

[Duluth]

Good to see that penalised

Classic, can we go back to the lions test and award it to Australia now?

[Duluth]

@Bones what?

Sorry referring to the Earl tackle that was way worse than Tupou"s one. That saved the lions.

[booboo]

That penalty against Tupou was ... odd..

[Bovidae]

Tupou is so dumb.

[Bones]

That appeared to be pretty blatantly knocked on by an argie playing it on the ground?

[Bones]

Tupou drops it cold. Who woulda thunk it

[Canes4life]

Aussies are playing like we did when were younger, everyone crowding around the ball, waiting to carry. I find those tactics a bit strange when spreading the ball wide was where they were most effective against the Boks.

[Duluth]

Some good work under the high ball by both Aussie wingers

[JA]

@Bones Yup - 2 penalties, one knock on and one pass to no-one.

[Canes4life]

Wilson is having a great season.

[booboo]

Nicely finished by Robotnik

[booboo]

Oh. If anyone is following and doesn't know the score ...

7-6 Aus 25 mins
