Similar to RWC11? Pumas in it until last 20 min when the Darkness ran in several soft tries. Pumas ran out of puff and passion was not enough to carry them through the full 80.

And last year in Wellington, and countless times before that as well. Often happens against the Celtic teams also. Superior fitness and reserves often tells in the end.
When you start hearing Smith, Smith and Smith from the commentary team, you wonder how long it will be before the Darkness score, and after hearing Smith mentioned 20 times, Cane crosses the chalk for some meat.
Will this be the turning point of the game?
Can the Pumas bounce back?
NZL lead by 7 points with kick to come.

Na, Los Pumas done for. Normal service has been resumed. Game Template is being followed.
B Smith scores a beauty from a well worked set piece move off the lineout.
NZL 26 ARG 12.

Agreed, just as Savea fluffs one. LOL. Scoring a try now is equivalent to scoring one next week. Would be nice to get one up early.

This field is a shocker. Way too small.

Yeah 4 tries and an 8 point winning margin. If they're scoring 4 tries though that might be quite achievable.
At first glance 33 - 15 seems to flatter the Kiwis with a late flurry of points, but that is the way they play.
The game is for 80 minutes, and those buggers in Black have a habit of using every second of that 80 minutes to execute the victory plan.
NZ Scrum getting shunted. No worries, don't panic, just keep your composure in the other aspects of the game and it will be OK.
OZ scrum getting shunted. The sky falls in. The lineout and breakdowns go to the dogs, backs push passes and go for miracle moves under pressure. All composure seems to disappear.
That is why they are No 1 and we are languishing at 3 or 4 and trending downwards.

Ok , now we all know why Nonu can piss us off so much, he had a great game without stupid shoulder charges etc, why does he have to do them at all??
And Sam Cane, will he finally get credit for being a bloody good player, his workrate is immense as usual, but for some reason some people seem to doubt his abilities!!

To have any chance, Saffers need to bring their Brisbane game.
Altitude will work in their favour as it usually does.
The Bokke piggies will be thinking that they will have the upper hand.
The Smith, Smith and Smith show will take some stopping and may ultimately be the difference.
