The Pumas will devour the Wallabies next weekend.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

[ACT Crusader]

Cane off after an excellent 45 minutes.

Read stepping it up in this 2nd half.

[Tordah]

how many tackles has Aaron Smith had to make because the forwards aren't doing their job properly?

[Unco]

Some soft fucking defence by the ABs.

[ACT Crusader]

A couple of wild LO throws by Coles

[ACT Crusader]

Good to see TJP on to get some decent time.

[Unco]

Aaron Smith off for TJP. Weird sub.

[Tim]

Hmm, pretty tough on Savea.

[Mattasaurus]

bounce of ball and rub of Joubert against the blacks at the moment

I don't mind it. Aaron was shooting his mouth off at Joubert after every call against the ABs.

[Billy Tell]

Our bench with Cruden and Romano is just not the same as Barrett and a dynamic loosie or PT.
