Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

[NTA]

And looks like I'm getting the SkySports pregame feed and not the Aussie shit.

Besides the missing vowels, it's good.

[NTA]

Ah. Well this pregame is the same boring crap as most pregames. Carry on

@NTA Yeah nice seeing NZ comms so far. Interesting stats for HB, not sure what the turnover metric relates too as TJ and AS are very different.

The only pregame that isn't boring as fuck is one that involves drinking

Someone needs to tell JK his glasses look silly.

About 24C in Parra right now - the sun should mostly be off the playing surface by kickoff but she'll be a warm one. RelHum only 55% so not muggy. Light, cool breeze at my place roughly 15km NNW of.

LOL Mehrts hamming it up to prepare AB fans for another potentially below-par performance - Pumas more likely to upset ABs than Wallabies. Guv ut a rist, bro.

Any failures in the AB game plan to fire up will be due to AB rust and a bit of aggression early from the Pumas.

@NTA Looks to be perfect conditions, should be a big scoring game you would think.

[Crazy Horse]

Why can't NZ have a stadium like that?

Yeah the surface there is pretty good - the two games I saw were Tahs v Brumbies (smashed) and Tahs v Lions (good win). Both evening games but superb.

Aw fuck its Aussie commentary for the game with Kafe, Mehrts, and some other knob. Shit.

I think that's the blueprint for a stadium in ChCh TBH - seats 30,000 and architecture is wonderful.

Lights there are all on-call LED so no bullshit for night games. Not a bad seat in the house, and the sound is really amplified even with a small crowd

(Just the USD360B price tag being the issue tho that may have included knocking down the shit-show that was Parra Stadium)

One club we played against last year in Subbies has a few Argies - I'll bet they are all in attendance.

[NTA]

Jeez we need to pick up on the Welcome To Country game.

[NTA]

That guy they had in Brisbane a couple of times was great. The guy in Perth last year was good as well

EDIT: It's NAIDOC week ffs...

It'd be a start if they just fixed the feedback on the microphone

Wish they'd make a dance or some performance art...like we do...

@NTA Is that what it was? A Welcome?

Yeah at least the guy in Brisbane last time used sticks and sung a bit of greeting.

Apparently. Meant to be an announcement of the lands on which the gathering is held, and welcoming all to enjoy themselves and respect the elders past/present/future etc.

Nugget have another accident with a sink or toilet roll holder?
