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

[Strewthcobber]

Rain. Australian kryptonite. Argies by 14. Really wouldn't mind a dry test match one day.

 

[Marce]

If Bell and Tupou can stay injury free as long as possible they can add what this team needs

 

[rugbyAU]

Argentina only 4/21 wins v us in TRC and 2/8 at home

 

[Strewthcobber]

Bit early to hoist the traditional rugby au white flag at the anthems

 

[Agent]

I’m up, I’m ready, it’s Fathers Day…. and I can’t watch the f@€£ing rugby because channel 9 want me to pay for Stan! No wonder rugby is a dying breed in Australia.

 

[Pokinacha]

Love hearing the extended Argentine anthem. They absolutely love it,

Also The Doleman effect will be lingering no doubt

 

[rugbyAU]

bad camera angles on Stan

 

[dru]

Shocking exit kick

 

[Pokinacha]

bad camera angles on Stan

Football stadium so up high

 

[Strewthcobber]

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) kicks us off with a poor knock on and then Wright slices the clearing kick. Sigh.

 

[dru]

Line out was a good sign against the throw.

 

[rugbyAU]

strong scrum

 

[Alex Sharpe]

This is going to be a real game for the rugby purists i feel

 

[Strewthcobber]

Must be windy up there. The camera work is giving me seasickness

 

[dru]

Stewart needs to sharpen his ruck work. Constant not through the gates

 

[Pokinacha]

Distance from the pitch and frame rate is making it hard to watch

 

[dru]

This tight passing game in the pack has us going backwards

 

[Wilson]

Really well placed kick from Lolesio,. particularly with the short in goal

 

[rugbyAU]

we went 15m back there

 

[Pokinacha]

I don’t mind that. We didn’t drop the ball and held composure. Plus defending 22 phases is draining.
