Argentina Two: Newcastle, 28 November
-
Anyone been to Argentina*? I understand the biggest cities are humid rather than super hot in summer and quite a few players would be coming from Europe well - two weeks of an airconditioned hotel - so I imagine they won't have that much of a climate advantage.
*on my bucket list for various reasons. -
I have been, but not long enough to enjoy a local bbq and rugby game, both items on my hit list too

*on my bucket list for various reasons.Yep, did a lads trip to BA to see the AB's play (and Boca Juniors) in 2018. Decent sport, a few steaks, couple of reds, and a heap of yarns.
It was pretty good I guess.

39 degrees outside. Absolutely fuck playing rugby in this weather.
This country eh? If the animals or plants aren't trying to kill you, it just tries to burn you alive instead.
And it'll be hotter tomorrow!

You're not out west are you?
TBH, I don't find this weather that bad (I like the heat which probably contibutes a lot to my hatred of Palmy
) - I went for an hour long walk when it was supposedly 40deg and it was fine.I also hate aircon, the actual worst thing about my job is the aircon.

@voodoo hot humid Aussie evening, All Blacks in a must win test match, shades of 03 RWC semi...gulp.

Fucked. I've got the thermostat set to 26C to minimise cost but it's a bastard.
Parts of outback NSW, SA, and QLD are due for record temps today. We are talking 45c+and even 47+
Some of them have doubled the numbers of days over 40 this year.

In Manly. Apartment gets no ocean breeze though so all windows shut. Fans on but doing nothing. Much sweating.

I have my slider door open.
About to walk up to a mates place for delayed Thanksgiving dinner so will probably get a sweat on as there's a couple of slight inclines.

Weird, when I lived in Manly (fairlight) it was always much cooler than in the city.
Ah well, good luck at keeping cool.

It is generally, usually a degree or 2. If you get the breeze!

I've told them I'm leaving at 7:45pm with one of our other mates to watch the game at his place.
The party hosts are an American chick and a Palestinian guy so rugby isn't high on their priority list - but they know it's high on mine.
Anyway, the A game of the weekend was last night.
