Please refrain from making up imaginary medical words.

We've spoken about this before.

You know how gullible certain members of the forii establishment can be.

Here is another Ecto-Pic for you...

There’s a whole lot to go on at the end of the year too, it’s not necessarily just going to be a tussle between us and Argentina.

Yep - Arg historically are poor on EOYT

How often do you score 4 tries to 1 and loose by 2?
seriously started with the coaching and selection decisions - if JOC (James O'Connor) and Tate start we win
Tane had a couple of absolute clangers and may never play another test
Valetini has been very quite for his standards
Poor game plan trying to consistently use Toole and jorgo with the high ball which we never won
In the end poor defensive errors along with no patience in attack dropping the ball, and kicking it away to early was a poor gameplan and lack of experience
Even Paisami had some good runs but then pushed the pass
another one that got away with the wallabies loosing it over arg winning

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

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...

You'd prefer "growth from the anus"?

Now it all makes sense

LOL, most runs, most post-contact meters, most tackles. Granted, he didn't absolutely decimate the Argies, but he was massive. the eye ball test says he wasnt as dominate as he has been. but he put in a shift and a half

 

[Mr Pilfer]

I just realised argentinas home game against South Africa is at Twickenham. They might regret that with rugby championship and rankings on the line

Do we think this Los Pumas team can beat the Boks once?

 

[Tomikin]

I do, I think on there day bok are brilliant, but they arent the bok of old, and the Pumas are a hell of a side. This is the best RC in a long time. all teams can beat each other.

They beat NZ, so yes, they can.

 

[Pfitzy]

Watching back now.

Just before our early try the Pumas are never behind the last feet at two rucks in a row. Zero from the officials.

A pattern that continues throughout the game

Yes maybe more the eyeball test
He was still solid but maybe not as eye catching as previous
His 2 errors hurt us which he also had a couple last week as well - more so from expecting him to be one of the best every week as he usually is

 

[Pfitzy]

Ruck at 10:13 Argentina 14 rolls around into the side of it. Ref says "good counter leave it now".

No. That's in at the side, offside, AND leaving feet. Pick 1, maybe?

My honest opinion of edmed was that he had a poor game but he had a few good touches (most notably an excellent 50/20) and toiled away despite a poor start. He's clearly not a first or second choice 10 but i also dont think we need to write the bloke off completely. Its a tough environment to get your maiden start (as it was asking Lynagh to debut against the B&I Lions).

id prefer to let these young players develop rather than just immediately ruling them to be useless because theyre a work in progress. But thats just me

 

[Pfitzy]

14:28 Pollard runs around the back of the lineout and is shouldered without the ball a step after getting rid of it. Nothing

As JAS is chasing the kick through he's clearly shepherded off the ball by Argentina 13. If Williams was guilty at the end of the game, this needs to be blown for consistency

Stats etc and effort were the best of our team.. but I think he usually opposes his will on other teams. While he got through his work and was actually awesome.. we all expect the guy to take over.

But even if this one a solid performance as you say it out striped the rest of our team..
