Rugby Championship 2025 : Wallabies v Argentina Rnd 2

[drewprint]

I have just bought tickets, very much looking forward to being there in person to see this happen.

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

He’s going to be a very articulate kid that’s for sure. All the worst insults imaginable mastered before the age of one.

no, I’ve said from the start I’d prefer Donaldson and Lolesio. But you caught the rise of reds fans of even those who didn’t want Lynagh as test 5/8, because of the quantity of posts you made targeting him. Every fucken thread and discussion, it’s tedious.

For you now to flip the switch and not offer the same critique of Edmed and instead offer a ‘go get them son’ is a bit rich.

Well, as a Red's fan you'll be happy Tane had a shocker.

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

Wait, am I missing something? Isn't the second Bled in Perth?

 

[drewprint]

I’ll watch the replay tomorrow sometime but my one rapid take from being there live - too many hero plays in the first half. Then chasing the game, and compounded by more hero plays to try and catch up.

I don't think a single person in this thread is happy about that (excluding Marce)

Was great to see they took advantage of being the last game before re-turfing and let the fans on the pitch. Zoning it off so the players could have secure spot but go and interact with fans on their terms is a smart way to do it at this level.

Also, stop the count:

He is at every Sydney test, usually accompanied by the current ARU president.

jeez, why ? with the aru president ?

Funny watching a pitch invader cop a huge fine about 20 minutes before this

John Howard is the patron of the Australian Rugby Foundation and on the advisory board for the 2027 WC.

No matter what your opinion of his politics, he has a significant role in rugby union in Australia

thanks strewthcobber, didn't know that. how is he at president. hopefully a lot better than he was as pm

If we lose to NZ twice (game in Australia has to be less than 15) and Argentina lose to the boks twice (any margin) we'll be ahead of them again. That's assuming a loss for SA today, if they win it's not so good for us (our gap with NZ shrinks so they take more points off us, South Africa's gap with Argentina grows, so they take less off the Argies)

EDIT sorry Spoiler

 

[BDA]

At the end of the day somehow wallabies are top of the ladder

 

[Tomthumb]

biggest positive is at least we aren’t the All Blacks

He looks more like Gollum these days - more scary mascot than patron.

 

[Wilson]

nothing to see here

 

[Dismal Pillock]

I'm on some last warning from mods..

Let me see if I've got this right......

Why do you look like Braveheart's ectopic buttock?

Nope.. if you read back through my posts that’s not the case at all…As a Wallabies fan I’d prefer he crushed it, and FWIW whilst it wasn’t a ‘good’ performance I didn’t think it was a shocker for a young man on starting debut.

Funny you talk of parochialism, I don’t expect we will see the same treatment of Edmed from you this week though eh?
