Great strength from our pack there, stopping that Argie maul.

[Stargazer]

Haha, I think Hotham needs to calm down a bit.

Hannah is 4 he has the locks around the wrong way

[Stargazer]

Cashmore misses the first kick at goal. 0 - 0

[Stargazer]

Bartlett has the dropsies. Dropped a fairly easy ball there. The conditions are wet again, for those who aren't watching, although it's not pouring down as much as last Friday.

[Stargazer]

The Argies dominated the Ozzies in the scrum. Good to see that our U20s don't give way.

[Stargazer]

That's the second time our no. 5 gives away a penalty.

The Argie ten kicks and hits the left post.

NZ struggle to get out of their 10m, but then get a penalty. Argies offside.

[Stargazer]

Handbags. Our no. 7 isn't happy.

NZ penalised (angling in the scrum?); another Argie penalty.

The Argie 10 nails this kick at goal.

0 - 3 Argentina

[Stargazer]

Now Argies penalished. Cashmore kicks at goal and ... nails it.

3 all.

[Stargazer]

Another shot at goal, and Cashmore adds the 3.

6 - 3 NZ

[Stargazer]

Awesome kick from Godfrey!!

50:22

[Stargazer]

Good defence from the Argies.

[Stargazer]

Good attack from the Argies, but then pass to Hotham, who unfortunately knocks on. Argie scrum in our 22.

[Crazy Horse]

Geez I have caught the last 10 minutes. Hasn't been pretty, culminating in a NZ yellow card.

[Stargazer]

Dominant scrum from NZ, but Argies get the ball out in time.

Tip tackle, with our no. 7 the main tackler; Bell involved, too, but pulled out.
Argie player lands on his hands, but ref says shoulder.

Our no. 7 sent to the bin with a yellow. Lucky, with other refs it could have been more.

Argie 10 kicks the penalty and its 6 all.

5 minutes to go in this half.

[Crazy Horse]

And we quickly knock it on. Disappointing rugby so far from us.

[Crazy Horse]

I hate to.whinge about reffing, but we have been pinged big time since I have been watching. Argies going off their feet but get the penalty.

[Chris]

We played well in t

We played well in the first 20 min but it’s gotten scrappy now.
