[D-Box]

Look for an early change in the back row. Timani and McMahon warming up on their own

Looked like he clearly knocked the ball out to me.

Of course it did.

 

[Marcelo]

Alemanno is injured and Argentina doesn't have too many locks. Ortega Desio is playing at the second row but he's a loose forward

Need to settle down and play in the the Pumas half. It looks fun and exciting watching us run from the 22, playing smarter would be getting down the other end first.

Their Sanchez has kicked a penalty goal, and missed one.

ARG 3 AUS 21 after 29 min.

 

[Marcelo]

The Wallabies defense is soooo strong tonight

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Interesting interpretation from Mr. Barnes there. "You swung around"

Hooper was bound and part of the maul throughout.

Wallabies conceding a penalty every 3 minutes. But, it is Barnes.

 

[Alex]

Barnsey's having a bit of a barry

And one in the bin.

Can't wait for @shiggens assessment.

He's allowing absolutely no contest at the breakdown. Impossible. Pocock had one for ages but he pinged him. It was his all day. Gonna be tough. Gotta clean out more aggressively.

Oranges: 21-6 to the Good Guys

I would almost prefer Poite... his erratic guessing style would have provided us with a couple
more penalties

Not sure where this sudden breakdown focus is coming from, as from my memory Barnes has typically been quite pro the Wallabies' breakdown style. I think we have our best win rate under him?

Maybe he got spoken to and reminded that black jerseys are the only ones you're allowed to favour.

Honestly, Poey is being reffed out of the game. Id give him another 10 after half time and throw in whoever is better in defense out of McMahon or Timani.

Pocock is off his feet at almost every single ruck. His technique is woeful these days.

Argentina making the running but they never take advantage of the metres they make. They need a decision maker at 10 to capitilise, or a Conrad Smith at 13. Wallabies defending well, all you can do when Barnsey's pingin'.

Geez fellas, FFS stop bleating about the ref!!!
You really are an embarassment to Aus rugby!!

 

[Highlander35]

Haven't noticed Barnes at all tbh.

He's making Bronwyn Bishop look bipartisan
