Argentina v Australia, 8am Sunday 1 Sep (AEST) - TRC Round 3

[PhilClinton]

Good to see Hamish Stewart helping things in attack. Touched the ball once in 27 phases.

Horrible attacking set.

 

[Wilson]

Koroibete is going to be cooked at half time, he has picked up most of Paisami's workload on the carry

 

[PhilClinton]

We are less than 10mins into the game and have already resorted to 5 kicks in general play on attack.

 

[Pokinacha]

Not to mention carrying the go forward.

Good to see Hamish Stewart helping things in attack. Touched the ball once in 27 phases.

Bollocks he did.

 

[dru]

Pretty sure that the Schmidt/Ireland "hold the ball for hugely long phases" game - did not involve the pack going backwards.

 

[dru]

We are less than 10mins into the game and have already resorted to 5 kicks in general play on attack.

And held it for 27 phases. If the pack are not going forwads expect the backline to do something different.

 

[PhilClinton]

Bollocks he did.

Watch it again. Catch and passes once on a left hand shift.

The rest of the attack was all one off the 9 or 10, a lot straight to Ikitau (who had to resort to putting a shit grubber in).

 

[Strewthcobber]

Pretty sure that the Schmidt/Ireland "hold the ball for hugely long phases" game - did not involve the pack going backwards.

Sure it did. Several of those famous 40+ phases went backwards, until they didn't.

 

[Marce]

The Pumas defence is too strong

 

[PhilClinton]

Should we give them all a pat on the back for not dropping the ball or something? 27 phases means fuck all if we can’t score a point

 

[dru]

Love the way that Lolo is game to jink and both Stewart and Wright are stepping in the 10.

 

[Marce]

Lolesio kicking game is just useless. Meanwhile the Pumas kicked 2 times and both were great

 

[dru]

Should we give them all a pat on the back for not dropping the ball or something? 27 phases means fuck all if we can’t score a point

? That is exactly my point. You're complaing ab out the kicks, but they only happened after the pigs were given every opportunity and lost ground.

 

[cyclopath]

Had to check my settings were not on slow-mo. Wallabies look turgid.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Short kicks are not his strong suit stop it. Also that pass that was intercepted - woeful.

 

[Tomthumb]

What is his strong suit?

 

[Pokinacha]

Nor is making holes, passing, creating something…

 

[Strewthcobber]

Maul defence. Again.

This is getting to the point where the assistant coach needs to consider his position

 

[Rebel man]

Noah creates absolutely nothing in attack
