Why don't we take out all the Wallabies tries scored. We can deduce that the Wallabies are lucky to be behind by 9

Don't take the bait.

Wallabies keeping the Argies in the game with a couple of unnecessary mistakes. Their defensive pattern has worked a treat though, only let down by a couple of individual mistakes (Kuridrani on that line break).

Come on boys !

Yep, Barnes has been fine.....

My only critique was the YC.... definitely a penalty, but not a YC.

No, this Barnes love is just going too far. He constantly makes small errors.

He lets actual penalties go while always penalizing ones that have no impact.

At the very end there the scrum collapsed instantly, no scrum contest but lets the defending team out for nothing.

What a silly suggestion - there was only one scored while the Pumas were playing one short.

You know the NH camera feed operators have it in for you when they show a hard tackle (e.g. Pocock's on Hernandez) in about 5 different slow-mo angles.

And then a suspect Agentinian clean out with no arms is cut off a split second before the first replay and we switch to a view of an injured player being treated.

A shoulder charge is a shoulder charge is a shoulder charge, it will always end in a yellow card.

Well according to all of the Australian posters last week, intercepts don't count as actual tries so scrap that one off at least

Argies have made serious inroads through the 13 channel.

Not all of us said that last week.

Definitely a harsh yellow. Seems like he made a couple of even-ups later though. Like not calling the crooked throw. If it'd been more crooked his halfback would've taken it.

Scrum seems to be turning against us. It doesn't help that on their feed they don't seem to take the weight, and on ours they are free to attack. So we haven't been able to have a real go at them yet. The weight of penalties though is heading into familiar danger territory for us.

Don't think Barnes has much idea of what's happening at scrum time. Just has an inclination to penalise the Wallabies.

And according to everyone else they're just the result of pressure, so maybe we thought we'd get in on the act

LOL - intercepts are apparently 'flukey' or 'lucky'

I've seen a lot of TPN tackles that wouldn't look much different.

A myth propagated by Kiwis in the Auckland Bledisloes in 2013 and 2014.

I'm not going to generalize, but some of the NZ posters are obsessed with the way Barnes is reffing, to the point where it's getting a little bit perplexing. Several French refs on twitter saying he's had a very good first half.

A percentage too many lets agree..

Anyway, Wallabies are playing well, good dry weather rugby. Have finished off those tries superbly. Still good for their lead. Barnes still shits me to tears though.

Foleeeeeeeeeeeyy

I'm glad someone else said it
