All Blacks vs Pumas I

[kiwiinmelb]

Some nice touches by the pumas , they remind me of France , when France played like France

[dingo]

BB is landing those short kick offs really well but Read's hands are letting him down.

[Mattasaurus]

Red card, site him, 6 weeks c'mon you cheating kiwis -

[mimic]

oh here we go.. calls for the all blacks being dirty will continue

[Tordah]

don't think Hansen will be happy with that performance. Crap discipline and some shit defence. Ruck security has to improve

[Stargazer]

The Pumas will devour the Wallabies next weekend.

[Mokey]

All Blacks keeping the Pumas in the game with all these shitty penalties. They need to calm the fuck down in the forwards. Great skills by BB and Ben from accounts in that last try.

[MN5]

Savea looks like he's terrifying the shit out of those little Puma outside backs, just get the ball in his mitts.

I was just thinking the same thing. If the disinterested wallabies turn up it could be ugly for them.

[pukunui]

Pretty good first half. ABs seemed to get on top a bit by the end with a bit of ball but a couple of penalties closed the gap.
Speaking of which, fuck me Joubert has gone backwards in the last 4 years. He used to be the best. Rucks in this game are a free for all of players off their feet.

J Savea playing bloody well. Hope it continues.

They are vigorous, big and small they are vigorous, and they are busy little buggers at the breakdown. They enter them old style, with a couple of big blokes either side up their clacker - haven't seen that for a while. Their backs' hands and passing are good and they all back up all the time. I've enjoyed this first half and no, Australia will not.

That was a sterling bit of work between Ben smith and Barrett - I didn't notice if they had spoken just before but Smith, as always, acted with real initiative. The quick running and passing wasn't working so well and he came up with an alternative on the spot.

[KiwiMurph]

Argies playing great - and smart.

Very enjoyable game.

Not surprising after all the ABs favouritism comments the ABs are getting 0 fifty fifty calls from the refs.

[kiwiinmelb]

Im enjoying the contest the Pumas are bringing to be honest ,

the challenge for them will be keeping it going for the 80

[Mattasaurus]

Pumas playing really well. great lines and mostly good hands.
ABs also playing well.
Joubert not having a great game in regards to the rucks and offside - but to be expected

Really entertaining game so far, impressed with our scrum, that second nudge was very horny.

[SynicBast]

Awesome game played at real pace and the strength of the running into contact from both sides is superb.

[ACT Crusader]

@Kruse just in case you and @Billy-Tell forgot, the ABs performed Kapo O Pango in Bledisloe 1

If the Arg v Boks games were both close, what does this mean for the Boks in Aus?

[Bones]

Would be nice if Joubert would stop letting Argie players steal the ball while testing on players on the ground.

[Mattasaurus]

Bugger Cane was the best of the forwards so far for me

I'd say whoever gets the most points will snatch the win.
