Argentina v Australia II @ 5.10am 14/08

[LeCheese]

How many forward passes by JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor) so far? This is not touch footy

Was waiting for this - bloke’s having a pretty good game so far, especially for a ‘former player’…

 

[dru]

Penalty count coming back.

 

[Tomikin]

That was a shocker of a lineout just win the lineout

Yeah, he's playing like a QB.

Hasn't been brilliant under high ball either (Quade was pretty solid) but is going well around the park and stepping in as White has been clobbered. He's taken heavy traffic too.

The last three:
1. poor throw lost lineout
2. forced to the front for confidence.
3. mess and lost ball

 

[Wilson]

Unsurprisingly disjointed first half, but plenty of potential in the attack.

Yeah still work to do, but he’s taking it well to the line and seems to be decently organised.

Yes but mores for the Pumas. D has been porous, line out is not where an international line out should be, scrum has had shenanigans, and we are not dealing with the high ball pressure. I'd have Hodge on at the back.

I think the pumas have been profiting off mess, that's something we can fix. When we've had ball in hand we moved them around as we wanted and created heaps of opportunity.

 

[Tomikin]

I still think we can win this.. tighten up the d, and hold the ball.

 

[rugboy]

White, Wright, McReight…

Petaia didn’t commit

They haven't created much from phase play or sustained pressure. Turnover mistakes and contestable kicks.

 

[Marce]

The front row backup is too unexperienced at test level, I can't see how WBs could win this one

 

[LeCheese]

Ehhh tough one to be his with where it fell I think. Overall poor comms under high ball from those at the back

Absolutely. They are making hay in unstructured play. Then they use an accurate high ball to create that opportunity. Add in some back to back penalty scenarios and that is the first half.

Oh, add poor set piece handing possession over by Australia.

 

[Wilson]

I love when they pair Slipper and Wilson for media things, they look like father and son

Arg. Stop showing the NZ/SA game Stan. Some of us haven't watched it yet.

 

[Tomikin]

One again Stan put on a session of the ABs vs Bok... fluffybunnys

I just put something on the Broadcast thread.
