Pumas v Wallabies

[Stargazer]

[NTA]

First time Cheika has named an unchanged starting XV. In about 44 Tests they tell me.

[Marty]

@stargazer It bugs me that Alemanno doesn't have a first name starting with P.

it bugs me that only 23 got named. What the hell kind of mind games is Cheika playing at?

[Bones]

Hah, is that both locks from last week dropped completely by the Pumas?

[NTA]

@bones yep. "going for grunt" is how the papers here reported it.

[Bones]

@nta Aha, so the papers haven't been watching the rugby.

[Kruse]

Nobody interested in this game, it seems?
13-13 at half-time
Aussie commentator, I honestly can't tell the difference between them - so fuck-knows which one, referring to Creevy as "Cravy", presumably in some weird over-compensation for his accent.

Why do you seemed surprised? Have you never heard them mangle Polynesian and Melanesian names before?

[Bovidae]

All our commentators can't even pronounce his first name correctly either.

A-gu-stin

Oh - certainly, it's not like the kiwi accent isn't a beautiful cringe-worthy thing, or that our commentators don't fuck up as much.
Just this particular case - all game, it's been very, very obvious. And... chance to take the piss out of an aussie accent, never pass it up - ever since my first day in Melbourne and 2 young girls insisted I say "fush n chups" for them. Bitches.

[Gunner]

I thought the Argies scored on half time? Obviously was disallowed, was anyone watching to let me know why?

Cravy knocked on picking up the ball fairly early in the piece

[Stargazer]

Just tuned in. That was a great try from Gonzalez Iglesias. 20 all in the 58th minute. An Argie player now knocked out. Can't see anything wrong with the tackle that caused it.

[Stargazer]

Hmm, maybe shoulder to face, but accidental.

[Toddy]

@stargazer How was that not a card nowadays? Did the ref rule it right?

[Kruse]

Gotta love the referee, assistant ref, TMO, and team captain all with different first-languages.
Oh, and Peyper - what's the jaapie for "fuck up, and fuck off"?

[African Monkey]

@toddy Didn't see a problem with the decision myself.

Because nobody listened to Jaco

[Stargazer]

Clear forward pass. Try should be disallowed.
