How is Savea still on the field? It's pointless. Get him off ffs.

 

[Wilson]

Scott Barrett had to get one out of his system.

Clearly all part of the Foz's RWC winning master plan to get some last minute practice playing a man down.

The way this game is going I feel like they'd need to drop one or two more for it to be of any real value.

Wallaby fans watching argentina rn

As much as Cheika has grown as a coach, (and he definitely has) this is a classic loss for him, reminiscent of the 2019 quarter final. Argentina have been passionate, emotive and tactically bereft out there. Have thrown bodies at the all blacks but never tested them with something they weren't ready for or expecting and had no real plan b.

 

[zer0]

Why tf would you keep playing? Just kick it out ffs. Absolute unprofessional nonsense.

EDIT: Finally.

 

[Dan54]

I am obviously pretty happy. That was a pretty good all round team effort. Everyone did their job I thought.

Well I think we know who's going into the Final in good shape & who's going in battered & bruised...

Best comment about that game I’ve seen.

“That game could have been an email”

Penalty Magnate Scrote Barrett as @Dismal Pillock would say. If he does that in the Final Fozzie has my express permission to make his last act as AB coach trebucheting ScoBar into the English fucking Channel (why's it the English Channel when it's presumably 50% French?)

Really shows the weird nature of the draw eh.

Cant help but feel it shouldve been us getting fluffybunnyed by the ABs.

The French call it La Manche (the sleeve)

 

[Penriff_boy]

NZ by 40.

Another pretty close prediction.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

How's Taukei'aho's throwing been lately? Is there a chance the lineout will go to shit when he comes on?

Not too shabby today, 7/7 after Taylor made 10/11. But on another day either or both could be more like 7/10 which is a fail at this level IMO.

I can't recall who it was but back in the day there was an AB hooker who's partner was a netball Goal Shoot & he had her coaching him to hit a target that was iirc a netball hoop stood vertically. Improved his accuracy no end, he claimed. I'm surprised it doesn't seem to have caught on.
