Wallabies v Argentina

[NTA]

@pakman said in Wallabies v Argentina:

Note they look to stop and push sideways rather than back?

Probably simulating their defensive structure where they're pushing outward.

And little steps to keep momentum after initial hit.

That was interesting. The training is usually fast feet going into contact then passive after.

Combine the two things and it is probably a strategy to get turnovers - sideways tackle makes a bigger gate and clears the way for the first man arriving.

About to kick off. I'm stuck with Gordon Bray and Matt Burke. Thinking that I still had a few days on that free Foxtel trial and wondering if Clarke et al would be better.

Wallabies up 3-0 after some fairly regulation play upfield.

Then Paisami runs instead of kicking, and gives a penalty inside the 22 which will bring it to 3-all

[Duluth]

Aussies getting the ball wide against this defence better than we did

[NTA]

Wallabies making ground fairly well but we don't have the pace to get past their scramble.

First scrum. Here we go

Good contest so far, if only we could exit like Argentina, they pretty much make half way nearly every time. We struggle to get out of our 22.

Aus won that one.

Linespeed from the Argies not as fast as last week so far.

Wallabies set piece is looking as good as I can ever remember.

Tongan Thor has absolutely smashed a few blokes thus far

[NTA]

@chimoaus at least the last decade anyway.

[chimoaus]

Fuck me that was some skill if he got that. Dam foot in touch. So close.

[NTA]

@akan004 we are playing a few different running options and our ruck ball is quicker.

Butchered the grounding

[NTA]

And we choke on the lineout

[akan004]

Beaudie would have gone for a drop kick on advantage.

Stop arguing with the incompetent ref, Michael. Just play the game
