Argentina v All Blacks

[African Monkey]

@Victor-Meldrew He has his critics but has been his usual self. He's been solid enough.

Gardiner is 100% right .. Pumas not supporting weight ... but come RWC... this area of the game is likely to be very much dependent on ref interpretation

[Duluth]

Good to see a ref give a YC even though the try was scored

Totally. What a dominant half

[Donsteppa]

Brilliant.

Doubly so for happening in front of the Argentinian ferals. They can't even use lasers today.

Aaron Smith remembers he is Aaron Smith

Loving the forward play , boks next week will tell us more though I guess

[Victor Meldrew]

This is like England in November but better. Just hope we don't have the last 20 forward fade we saw then.

[Stargazer]

The RWC refs have all just returned from a ref camp in France. I hope to see this kind of officiating become the norm.

31 zip at the break.

Nice

Fakatava-like

Genuinely didn't think 120mins of TRC would play out like this so far. Impressive.

[Tim]

Nice, Frizell is having a great game. Not tested at all on defence though.

Frizzell doing well at the back of the lineout. Haven't watched for him in general play though.

His work rate has been excellent. One of the ABs best.

[Mattasaurus]

Best opening 40mins from an AB season in years.

Forwards are doing very well - core duties are being done 1st and providing backs with plenty of excellent front foot ball.

[Unite]

Great half!

All Blacks all in black boots which is a change from past few years.

Has been the difference, Argentina just can’t adapt to Gardiner where our players have had all SR to adapt.

[sparky]

Most ruthless and dominant half of AB Rugby since…..

[Machpants]

Well I didn't see this coming. Make me eat my hat in France fozzie

[sparky]

Credit where credit is due. Absolutely wonderful from Ian Foster and his men. Black Magic! I didn’t think they had it in them. More please!
