Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

[Anonymous]

Not in a realistic position to charge down? Cause the guy didn't kick it at his hands?

[taniwharugby]

NO arms...may as well card him for the head butt while you are at it

[NTA]

That's a crap call

[No Quarter]

OK sending Coles a message is fine, but that was a nonsense call.

[KiwiMurph]

Thats an awful call for Gardner. Awful.

That was soft. Not a penalty.

The fact it was the second silly slap from an AB wouldn’t have helped

After nearly going a slap to start, but then to do it after the whistle.

He's such an idiot. In any other nation he'd have been dropped, but because the ABs keep winning, he is in safe territory.

That's not true, idiots in other countries don't get dropped either - Hartley, your boy Kepu etc.

[Kiwiwomble]

Too many subjective calls in rugby now, not in a realistic position to charge...maybe for you Angus but he thought he was!

[taniwharugby]

ABs just need to get thier hands on the ball and settle down

[KiwiMurph]

Matera is the best loosie on the field.

[Tim]

Frizell's ball carrying is substandard at this level.

[akan004]

Apparently you need to have played 500 minutes to play Test Rugby.

[KiwiMurph]

Frizell and his cleanouts jaysus....

[number9]

These calls are bloody disgusting.

Like watching Owen Franks, touched then tackled. Quite passive.

[Kiwiwomble]

Aussie commentators are loving this

[taniwharugby]

Been a few neck rolls/sleeper holds in rucks and mauls missed

[Frank]

Frizell's ball carrying effectiveness lies somewhere between Sam Whitelock and Lee Stensness.

[number9]

This bloody ref is coaching the Argies, need to bloody penalise them.

[Donsteppa]

Jordie is very hit and miss at this level.

Just looked at it again - it is a fucking hollywood, and still isn't a great call. AFG says "could have pulled out".

The issue that makes it look bad is Barrett coming in from the side of the kicker is the problem. Never in a position to charge down and his path was in no way going to look good from end-on.
