Argentina v All Blacks

People are so defeated on the “fuck Sam cane” bandwagon they’re trying to make a deal about this? Really?
@Yeahtheboys Yeah pretty much. He played well so they now have to find something else to bring him down.

@Nepia Yeah he was solid. A 7 out of 10 performance for me. The commentators made out like it was prime Kaino out there which it wasn't, but he did a decent enough job.
I reckon Fozzie and Ryan will be delighted with Frizell.
He was doing exactly what I think he's picked for - providing a tall and effective third lineout option, making his tackles and trucking the ball up one off the ruck and securely recycling. Got himself around the park and a few nice little touches e.g. in the first try, as well.
Hey TJ. The trick now is to see if he can do it again.

I reckon Kaino would've been pleased with himself to have played as well as Shannon did today!
Your job, in future, is to correct anyone who comes out with the outrageous line that Frizell has never had a good test, so that I don't have to be called TJ.

Fellas with actual knowledge of the rules - what was the go with the penalty we earned when JB (I think) ran upright and couldn’t get to ground, but Angus made all the Argies let go of him?

He got one knee to touch the ground, so becomes tackle.

He got a one knee down then the Aggies lifted him back up again. Penalty, they didn't release

I thought he just stuck out a foot to trip him? Not legal in rugby but fine for pitch invaders
Look again. It was a nice kick. Argentinian football fans should appreciate that

Ah, I didn’t see his knee touch, thanks

@Stargazer said in Argentina v All Blacks:
Why? It's generally accepted here that you don't post spoilers.
I think it's impossible to have a hard rule about that. It changes from match to match. In general if you're in a live match thread you shouldn't be surprised if you see another result or hints about the other games. Particularly after full time
When there's two NPC games played at the same time, it's more of a rule
With a game like this, AB's early in the morning and the Saffa/Aussie game overnight, posting about the other game should probably wait until a bit later
I deleted a couple of posts that were talking only about the Aussie/Saffa result as this game kicked off. It spoiled the result for me but I wasn't surprised I saw it in this thread

And the fact it was said during the fucking game so unless you had it on mute you were proper fucked

Cully nails it re: the attack. A lot of good stuff in this article.
What was striking about the All Blacks was how few times they went into predictable three-man pod systems in attack. McKenzie, meanwhile, frequently stepped in at first receiver rather than a tight forward, and he always had willing runners to choose from. A plea to New Zealand’s Super Rugby teams – follow suit and empower your No 10s: they don’t have to spend most of the game sitting out the back waiting for a backdoor play.@KiwiMurph said in Argentina v All Blacks:

If Cane gets any form of censure for that then rugby is fucked
Security weren’t good enough, Cane was
Who know what the intentions of the invader were
Needed to be stopped asap
Move on
Nothing to see here

Angus had one of his best matches
But was very perplexed that Argie got sent to the bin on Ardie’s try for repeated infringements but no YC against NZ for Argentinian’s first try for doing exactly the same
As I’ve posted before, infringing prevents you from scoring then YC
You score, move on
Don’t need the double whammy

Woulda looked better if he put a big shoulder on him...nothing should come of it, I mean at least he didn't abuse an official...

Exciting to see how Ryan's forward nous stacks up against the big boys. We'll know soon enough.

Remember when Richie was hailed a hero for dropping an elbow into that fat Saffa, now Cane does his best to preempt that situation and protect the ref and it's now an issue to some.

Richie pulled him off but AJ Venter was the one who punched him.
