Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

[antipodean]

A refereeing performance like this doesn't require a matching players' performance.

Teams will be looking at this and last week knowing niggle can put us off.

@KiwiMurph you'll be right. Quick halftime chat from Supercoach and it'll be a big win. How big?

You mean Cheika?

Reckon he can ruin the Argies? I think he speaks French and Italian but not Argentinian. Maybe enough Italian to get by

[No Quarter]

That's a very, very poor all black loose forward trio. Not in the same class as Argentina for physicallity. Everybody loves Savea but he often only performs in the second half when the game opens up. Impact player off the bench at this level.

A world class impact player off the bench. Seriously, fuck having to play against a pocket rocket like that when your legs are tired and your lungs are burning. But instead we start him at 8. It's just braindead shit.

[Tim]

We desperately need some strong carrying and ruck cleanout. How often have our ball carriers gotten isolated ...

How did we have 55% possession. We are clearly shit with the ball we had.

You've won Test matches with less than 50%. It is a fairly meaningless stat.

[Kirwan]

Need Patrick to use his bulk too

[chimoaus]

Is this game a friendly so a loss doesn’t count?

[broughie]

@booboo going wide has not amounted to anything. Still need to make inroads through the forwards. Every team knows we like to go wide, use our backs and they know how to defend it. We are boring and predictable. And for Gods sake don’t kick the ball away.

[Jailbreak7]

This woulld have been a perfect game for a terrier like Boshier

[KiwiMurph]

Tuipulotu really doesn't make a physical impact at test level eh?

[hydro11]

We weren't as bad as some people are saying. Argentina were very accurate - no tackles missed in the first half is incredible against us. We still had quite a lot of possession. We just need those 50/50's to go our way.

[Tim]

@Kirwan Three of our senior tight forwards - Coles, Whitelock, Tuipulotu - have been poor.

[Hooroo]

Just got in. Wowsers.

Out of curiosity, who led the haka?

[akan004]

@hydro11 We are getting killed at the breakdown. That's where we are losing the game.

Aaron Smith.

He can, but it’s not consistent. He’s been sick, maybe not 100%? If so get the young guy on

[Yeetyaah]

Lmao can't watch this game but I'm drunk as fuck and just saw the score, what the fuck is happening.

[broughie]

@Kirwan exactly. He is a fricken teddy bear. Make some impact tackles or sub him for the young fella.

[taniwharugby]

@akan004 too slow and lacking the aggression the Argies are bringing

Caught ball watching a couple of times.

Hope he comes out firing because it doesn’t look like the sort of test match that we want the young fella coming on in...
