Pumas v All Blacks

Tim

Argentine scrum has been awful.

Donsteppa

When did Argentinian tighthead props turn into useless old men?

Terrible at the back of the ruck there.

Yeah, but, technically Laumape had formed a ruck so the only way Argentina could get the ball was through him. Got away with coming round the side.

Wasn't the ball well out of the ruck by then, which would make the ruck over - so he can go round.

Ioane must be getting pissed off at the amount of forwards crowding his wing tonight.

Hard to tell with the angle but it looked to be at his feet. Even so, as stated, poor from the ABs to not protect the ball better.

This has been such a sloppy second half from the ABs.

I'm not a fan of those YCs for a player just getting dominated and being shit

Damo

Pretty dumb from Argentina to take scrum rather than 22.

Thought he deserved a yellow card to stop embarrassing himself...

Or getting into such a poor position that someone else ended up with a neck injury.

Nah it wasn't him being dominated, it was poor and dangerous technique.

Tim

@taniwharugby Stargazer was just concerned that NZ's only world class midfielder might get injured.

@damo being shit...

Naholo is so Naholo. One great run and the rest has been totally inaccurate.

Reiko's had a rare bad game today.

KiwiMurph

That was a bad drop but rieko has not been bad .

No Quarter

Another awful cross field kick from Beauden to sum up the 2nd half to date.

Mokey

The ABs have been pretty shit on the whole this half. Hail Mary passes, poor ball control.

Stargazer

Debut Havili! Dmac to wing, Rieko off.

Tim

@hydro11 What has been bad about it? He's broken the line or beaten tacklers every time he's gotten the ball. Zero mistakes on defence. He dropped the ball once on attack. Hardly alone on that today.

chimoaus

Sure is a worry how many times we have shut down this year where we just play like shit.

Ardie isn't very injury prone, we'll be alright. Besides, could just call up Thompson.

taniwharugby

Wtf has happened to the Argies scrummaging strength? This isn't even the top AB front row

I don't think it's been that bad, he's been making ground in traffic ... hasn't had any decent runs in the open since about the first 20 minutes though.
