I am conveniently forgetting somethign.

TBF I do that all the time. I have conveniently forgotten whole RWCs that I was actually present at. Might have been the result of alcohol, or just results. I don't remember.

Great crowd in Argentina.

Looks well over 40k.

A gift for the Hags after the Bumboys butcher fielding a kick.

I have no idea what that means....

[Stargazer]

The Jaguares are well ahead now. They're taking their opportunities, without doing anything spectacular. Brumbies are just utter shit thus far.

[Canerbry]

20-0 after 20 mins, looks like a long night ahead for the Bumboys. They're just looking lazy - travel?

[kiwiinmelb]

Have the brumbies checked out ?

Maybe. But their game plan fucking sucks if they can't win a lineout

[KiwiMurph]

Brumbies keep themselves in the game through their only 2 weapons - scrum and lineout drive.

20-7 halftime.

[ACT Crusader]

Surprise surprise a tiny variation in the Brumbies attack and they make 30 metres through halfback and centre combination.

Led to the pressure and try.

[Stargazer]

I have to agree with the commentators that the officials have missed quite a few forward passes and some knock-ons from the Jaguares, but I'm not sure it would have changed much. The Brumbies are just making too many mistakes.

[Stargazer]

Was there obstruction in the lead-up of that Jaguares' try?

[Stargazer]

Apparently not. What about that high tackle by the Brumbies player though?

[Stargazer]

I can't see the Brumbies come back from this. The Jaguares have been ruthless and have taken advantage of every error from the ponies.

This is well over with ten to play. Great to have something different happening in the finals this season. If the Canes pull off an upset tonight, at least we get to see a different kind of final in terms of venue, time zone, atmosphere etc and a real anything-could-happen game too.

Outside of a 10 min spell at end of 1st half this game has been an annihilation

Jaguares have carved up Brumbies when they've wanted to

They match this performance & they have an excellent chance of winning in C'church or hosting Canes

[KiwiMurph]

Awesome work Jaguares.

They were brilliant. Dominant. One of their best performances this year.

Cubelli my man of the match.

Well deserved finalists who will take some beating.

Good to see a boring limited Brumbies side smashed. Jaguares are far more entertaining.

[shark]

Fuck off Phil Kearns. He just called the Jaguares a national side, again. And then he referred to the Crusaders as a national side as well so probably wants us booted out of the comp as well.

The Jaguares are celebrating like they just won the final. Ruh roh, for them.

They just played their final mate. See how crazy the players were after the whistle. You've got a chance if the Canes win tonight due to home advantage and the Canes having to recover from what everyone refers to as one of the hardest time zone changes, but if they have to travel they'll get annihilated.

[KiwiMurph]

@shark Jaguares celebrated like that last week.

Didn't seem to bother them this week.

Jaguares have travelled well this year.

Their scrum looks a real weakness but otherwise they look a real threat.
