    Taufua has come on. Great to see him back playing after months out due to injury.

            Lood de Jager goes over, Jantjies converts and it's 35 all.

            Minutes later, Jantjies scores a drop goal. One minute to go and the Baabaas lead 38 - 35.

              Jeez, some of the Argies were bad-tempered. Great stuff :smiling_face_with_horns:

              Creevy, in particular, was quite fun to watch......

                The Baabaas win, and the Pumas lose again. Ledesma made a lot of changes for this game and started far from their best squad, but geez, the Baabaas hardly looked like a test squad themselves. What a disappointing tour it has been for the Argies!

                      You have to put that in context from the original. It’s much funnier.

                              @mariner4life plenty of the radio comms at NPC games would work well in that respect, or Marshall in the RWC final.

                              Usually just local guys doing the radio stuff and bias AF, except @Steven-Harris is useless fulla is too professional!! 😉

                                  I really liked the radio commentary this year (SR and M10) where Corey Flynn and Kane Hames were co-commentators. Didn't hear any bias from them, just really good expert comments ... including on what goes on in the scrums :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

                                      The biggest surrprise for me from the November Internationals was how good some of the NH scrums were again. Repaired their reputations again in my eyes after the 'damage' caused by seeing Lions struggling v SR franchises last year. Biggest surprise of all was the English scrum after losing Marler and Vunipola. Biggest disappointment was the NZ scrum.

                                        It's the Sky UK and Irish commentators who are the worst - biased, inept and frankly embarrassing to listen to. Don't mind Marshall as he gets as enthusiastic with great tries from other teams as he does with the ABs

                                        The BBC's Andrew Cotter is excellent. He's clear, intelligent and as unbiased as I have heard. He also covers Wimbledon, Athletics, Golf and Olympics. Martin Bayfield doesn't seem to do much media work but his analysis during RWC2015 was superb.

                                        Also think the Saffa commentators Pierce and Joel Stranky are pretty good.

                                          I don't get the Harrison/Barnes hate at all. Have absolutely no problem with them as a team. They talk a bit of shit, but name me a commentary team that doesn't. Harrison cheerleads a bit for England, but so what? No more than any other team.

                                          Safa commentators are probably the most balanced. Irish are the least.
