Argentina v New Zealand, Sat 27th Sept 2014

[Dismal Pillock]

Arg and their RC 96% ruck retention stat absolutely shot straight through the ballsack with that one. What was it, 20 TO and counting towards the end?

Ref blowing up ruck releases extremely quickly though, in stark contract with Owens in the SA/Aus game.

NZ forwards not too intense on D. Bustled backwards a fair bit. Except of course Mccaw.

Perenara's 10 mins were nonsense. So he got on the end of a scoring movement, too many stuff-ups

Mealamu is going to get eaten alive. Ridiculous he's still playing.

Just quoting that one for posterity hehe.

Surfs up, Qwerty.

Did he have a good game? Haven't seen the game yet

^^^ It was a weekend for the Pensioners, who stood up and were counted whether they were playing in Black or Green.

Old Man River Mealamu could have gone for the full 80 minutes, but the young bloke was subbed with about 8 minutes to go (on test debut) for experience.

 

[Ruggo]

Just loved the physicality of this game.

Argies need to do something about this kinda shit:

I know they're primarily a diveball country but that's inexcusable.

Not much you can do though.. very hard to pinpoint those who are responsible.

I was once shown around Westpac Stadium incl the security office. They've got rooftop cameras that can zoom in on any seat they choose & can direct their guards and/ or cops to where any trouble is occurring. Hard to believe La Plata doesn't have similar capabilities.

Did you see the SA v Argies game?
Pre-match Steve Walsh was seemingly told that he would need to use the AR's iPhone for any TMO reviews: its a different world.

To true I think gwerty, I know it Shag Hansen was aked if he thought it would happen, said he didn't know but knew the Argo RU did what they could and shouldn't take the blame for the odd idiot!

I hope we lose.to Argentina next week. I love watching them play. Top effort from them today. Richey was his usual on his are playing the ball all game buy hey that's normal. I've had enough of the nz commentary. They go on and on about the All blacks and how good they are. Even when Argentina makes really good breaks they praise All black tacklers instead.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

I thought they were pretty generous to the argies - who were very inaccurate and ill disciplined

 

[Pfitzy]

Pfitzy, have you slept at all recently? You must be buggered.

Itinerary for last 24 hours looked like this:

6PM dinner at Olympic Park
8PM Robbie Williams concert (good show - rude bastard!)
11PM coffee and ice cream, waiting for traffic to clear
12AM Got home
12:30AM Wife has post-Robbie carnal urges
12:32AM Satisfied wife's carnal urges, go get a coffee
1AM Wallabies game
2AM Optimism
3AM Angst and loathing
4.30AM Submit match report
5AM Sleep
8AM Wake up and watch 15 minutes of ABs v Argies before going out to breakfast.
12PM Go to a mate's place for suit fitting
2PM Lunch at the Brookvale Hotel
3PM Rays v Rams
5PM head to 4 Pines for post-match beer
6PM leave Manly for home.

I'm like Jack fucking Bauer!

Listen again to the commentary-the commentary team were very generous in praise to the Argies when they deserved it, and that was often.

Even reading that makes me tired. Good effort.

 

[Pfitzy]

Yeah and that's without listing all the terrorists I killed

Especially Meg and Wilson.

Very disappointing picture that of the laser and Barrett.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Coles on his way to SA but no-one to cover Retallick should he fail the concussion tests. I'd have given some thought to leaving Crotty in NZ & flying Tuipolotu or Bird over instead on the basis we've got plenty of midfield cover but if Retallick's no good then Luatua has to cover lock, 6 & probably 8.

The folks at pelco seem to think the security they installed is pretty flash:

Unless of course the control room is unattended and/or security can't be arsed doing their job. If someone started waving a gun around, wonder what'd happen.
