NSW Barbarians tour to Argentina

[Santiago]

Argie scrum - here comes the scary part.

you said it.

 

[Santiago]

Argies over 39-5 - too good - watched carefully by NSW forwards.

i'm glad argie scrum it's working

 

[Santiago]

it's... freezing there + altitude

poor NSW can't hold it, they are too slow and too tired

 

[Lee Grant]

McDougall looking handy - good club form showing at this level.

Hooker Straker on.

NSW scrum mullered again. Ball being feed straighter - as per theory - so far.

 

[Santiago]

there's 2C in salta right now
brought by you by santiago celsium network.

 

[Lee Grant]

Big Willie playing a stiff game.

Now NSW have a scrum close to the goal-line - unfortunately it's theirs - get ball going backwards.

 

[Lee Grant]

Scrum put-ins are now straighter than lineout throws.

Camacho in - too easy, missed tackles.

47-5

 

[Lee Grant]

Most of the NSW amateurs are on. Difference in class is stark even though Arg have theirs on too.

Argie in again 53-5 with kick to come.

 

[Santiago]

I never saw pumas like this..

Most of the NSW amateurs are on. Difference in class is stark.

Argie in again 52-5 with kick to come.

yeah, same with argies, they are not amateurs but it's not mains anymore

 

[Lee Grant]

Latu on - was surprised Carraro was playing - didn't know he was called into the team.

Jed Holloway over - good series of phases for NSW - looked like a real team. Arg 53-12

Good play from Horwitz and Latu on inside run (forward pass, but who cares?).

 

[wamberal]

I really like what I have seen of Horwitz, and he is still only a baby. Plays like a very experienced old style five eighth.

 

[Lee Grant]

Argie lineout drive near NSW line. 58-12.

NSW players didn't know what to do.

 

[Santiago]

well, that was fast

 

[Lee Grant]

NSW get last scrum - let's see what happens.

McKibbin puts in ball - delays (good idea)- wheels.

2nd go - McKibbin delays again - NSW get penalty !!!!! What a genius.

NSW get lineout handy but Argie get ball and run down to NSW 22.

NSW run from 22 but forced to dot ball down, game over 58-12.

It was a good hit-out for Arg in the 2nd half but NSW poor in the 1st against the main Puma players.

 

[Santiago]

Overall

The main reason NSW lost was because they are really TIRED and it was 2c freezing in salta + altitude

fuck, in the first one they couldn't even move.

Argentina defense was splendind, not like the first on and there were barely errors like we usually have (and the main reason we lose)

our defense did the job, NSW defense was really bad, they tried and atleast they got a try.

our kicks was really good, damn, i wanted to hit the 60+

I don't think Argentina was this good at RWC2007, even the subs are great.

 

[Lee Grant]

Not many positives for NSW.

Horwitz excelled for an 18 y.o.

Gray looked good enough in first half but as he was in France and in club rugby before he left Sydney, he is not going to be a power runner in Super rugby.

Scrumhalf Falelai'i - he plays in Newcastle but I'd like to have another look at him.

 

[Santiago]

I don't think Argentina was this good at RWC2007, even the subs are great.

trust me, RWC2007 was the best.



After watching NSW matches, im going to watch more often their matches

i like australian rugby

McDougall looking handy - good club form showing at this level.

I'm glad, I really rate McDougall, think he will be a very good super player.
