Rugby Championship 2025 : Wallabies v Argentina Rnd 2

[TSR]

One of those games where lots of good things, but kept shooting our selves in the foot and no sustained pressure. I thought the refereeing was generally poor and inconsistent but our discipline was poor as well in the first half and that wasn’t his fault. Two weeks in a row and it is putting the team under way too much pressure. That and our lack of any success in the air was the game lost.

The first part is a team issue and they need to fix it quickly. The second one may be harder to fix but needs to be addressed as well.

A sober watch of replay this morning after being at the game. Congratulations Argentina who played fast pace skilful rugby.
Firstly the atmosphere, not just in the stadium but in the pubs everywhere before the game, the city full of gold jerseys, the argy crowds noise all day. Just a magnificent occasion.

The game, just some really poor options on 3 or 4 crucial occasions that really cost us.

The ref, on review wasn’t as bad as I thought watching live. Two or three howlers but not the 20 or so I thought at the stadium.

geez it’s a good set up at Allianz, getting 42000 in and out of the stadium on trams and buses. It’s a world class venue.

Boys need a big rest. Hopefully Joe says go home to your families, have the week off and they come together next weekend to start the NZ leg.

Its not all gloom & doom.
The Wallabies, after 4 games played, lead the Rugby Championship:
1) Wallabies 11 points
2) Springbok 10 " PF/PA +18
3) All Blacks 10 " " " -15
4) Pumas 9 "

Hard to pinpoint exactly why things just started clicking as there seemed to be a number of coinciding events in the second half which brought us back into the game.

The three biggest in my opinion being:

- JOC (James O'Connor) coming on
- Argies bench players coming on
- Argie winger copping a yellow for deliberate knock down

Well I hope you bring them luck because surely the Eden Park has to break sometime? Then it would set up a cracker home game in Perth...

where are you Yoda? You made more posts related to Tom Lynagh in this thread before the game, and he wasn't even playing, than you've made in this thread post kick off....
