Was there it was pretty simple

Kept on dropping the ball and completely lost the aerial battle. Some dodgy calls did not help but I think the Argies deserved it.

Good news is thats all easily fixable.

Roll on NZ

In my eyes starters are: Ikitau, Wright, Skelton and Ala'alatoa. Pietsch, Lolesio, Lynagh, Gordon, Frost and Potter are average at best

Pietsch and Frost are not average at best, the others probably

My god, how much of a miserable sod do you want to be?

All fans wearing soccer shirts to a rugby football test match should be barred entry....... until halftime when they are wheeled out to the centre of the field and placed in stocks to be pelted with rancid tomatoes as part of the halftime entertainment.

I often see Wallaby jerseys at other sports, tennis and cricket especially come to mind.

Seeing as South America is soccer mad and Argentina have won world cups in the sport they can be excused.n

The forum match thread gets totally ruined by Marce telling us 50 times a game we don’t have a world class #10. I have officially discovered the ignore function.

 

[Adam84]

wait... which one is Marce; Super Hooper?
Why the name change?

Yeah I haven't figured that out yet.. reveal yourself, Marce!!

This is one of the few moments of joy Marce gets in his life, gently touching himself as he trolls GAGR with some of the most inane, brain dead comments you’ll find anywhere on the internet.

Great game to be at live. I took my 9 month old son to his first ever rugby game and he had the best time. The atmosphere in that last 20 minutes was insane - bottle that and you’re a billionaire. Even my wife had a blast!

We just have to sort out these first halves. Marces crew crumbled under the pressure again and we almost ran them down (even with first choice players AAA, Faessler, Skelton, Lolesio, Ikitau, Pietsch, Wright et al missing) but we can’t keep relying on pea heart Argentine teams to fold late in the game.

Lots of work to do, but we continue to improve and are on the right track.

I hope his first words were giving that ref a massive serve.

Argentina were so much better. Our discipline was terrible and it was one of those days were the skills were just off. Offloads didn’t go to hand and we couldn’t catch a contestable kick.

still

that bloody charge down try was arguably the turning point. Got the crowd back in it straight away and the pumas themselves got a big lift.

So dumb.

No.

I forbid it.

I see a rugby jersey at any sporting even and think "fine"

I see a soccer jersey at any time and I think "feral sooky dork."

Yeah that’s him. I assume the original got barred for trolling, I don’t think the reincarnation will last long either.

How's this for a stat (and to be clear, this is clearly a coach game plan / possession thing)

Passes:
McDermott 62. Nic White: 25
JOC (James O'Connor) 22. Edmed 8

Carries. Jorgensen 4. Tate 3.

Rugby's back baby!

 

[Adam84]

Biggest loss out of that game is wallabies will likely be seeded 7th for the RWC now

 

[Strewthcobber]

Surely taking the Bled at Eden Park will give us a bump?

 

[rugbyAU]

Biggest loss out of that game is wallabies will likely be seeded 7th for the RWC now

Still 7 tests left

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Biggest loss out of that game is wallabies will likely be seeded 7th for the RWC now

Is that even if we beat NZ twice, Argentina lose twice to the Boks, and we beat England in November?

 

[Spamnoodle]

I want us to win and win consistently

We were woeful in the first half, terrible discipline and couldn’t adapt to their aerial game

all in front of a sold out crowd

It wasn't woeful. It was a test match and we were tested. And still almost won.
