Oz scrum walked back again. Hoskins good around the park but is like a periscope in the scrums now with the 2nd half Argie front row on.
Argies in? TMO says yes. Argies win. Well deserved.
The Aussies would have wanted the win as much as the Argies but they played as though they wanted it more.
Looks like the winner of the Oz v France match will get 2nd place, unless Scotland beats the Argies (unlikely) and no losing BP to Argentina, but will they have the best 2nd place record in the 3 pools to get the 4th semi spot, against (likely) the Kiwis, as happened last year?
They have to win and score 4 tries to have a shot. Critically the Argies got that 2nd try so Oz couldn't get a losing bonus point and it's likely that other 2nd place teams will have at least one.
The Oz scrum deficiency in the wet after oranges was a big drawback and was the genesis of the 2nd Argie try.
