Pumas v All Blacks

[hydro11]

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.

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

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.

Are we talking Ioane or Naholo here...

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Very nice work by TJP there after stoopid kick by BB.

[Tim]

Barrett has been poor in this half.

Again...Ioane or Naholo...

How was that ever a maul?

Hasn't looked as dangerous on attack today. I'm judging him based on the high standards he has set.

I think that applies to most of the ABs. I blame the poor refereeing, the penalty and card lottery, poor ARs, and the Argies being in chaos. That just drags the level of the game down.

Its not a one or the other only answer.

[Stargazer]

Great first break and run from Havili!

I hope Barrett is more introspective than that.
