Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

[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.

@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.

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

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...

Guess, I bet you would be accurate.

[broughie]

@Hooroo who cares. They are playing like crap.

I’ve just got in so seen nothing. Settling in for second half.

Even that wasn’t a given on that first half performance

You need to be our good luck charm!

@Hooroo break out the heavy liquor.

[Old Samurai Jack]

I honestly can't detect any difference from the last couple of years. It is so predictable, the Argies are defending with ease.

[NTA]

If I may wax lyrical for a moment: Argentina are playing a really interesting style of what a karateka might term "goju-ryu" or "hard-soft" style.

The try they scored was a combination of hard running angles and then quick, delicate hands in the short spaces to get the result - and that was even before the penalty advantage.

Have come so far from 10-man rugby

[No Quarter]

We were damn lucky they didn't score before the break. Amazing cover defense from Smith.
