Argentina v Australia II @ 5.10am 14/08

[Marce]

Another poor Wallabies season:

5 played
3 lost
2 wins

And now you have to face Boks and ABs lol

 

[lpd]

Not much rugby intelligence on the pitch today for the wallabies

 

[Marce]

Kick ASAP!

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

I just don’t rate Tom wright at test level full stop.
He’s had chances like Tom banks (tho wright worse). Time to move on.
Not seeing much in attack at the moment in general. Pretty much poor across the park.
Some terrible calls by ref too

 

[Rugby Head]

I don’t ever want to hear Mcreight should be selected ahead of Michael Hooper

 

[molman]

Game over

Argies scored 14pts in 5-6mins to start this game. Plenty of time even still.

 

[Marce]

Is McDermott or Jesus Christ???

 

[molman]

Tates been good so far. Good awareness. His passing has been crisper so far.

 

[dru]

Pumas deserve this score line.

 

[molman]

What's peoples thought on Petaia's defensive work?

 

[Marce]

What a massacre! 41 points. The biggest defeat against Argentina in history

It depends, Reds supporters gonna say that is excellent as the JOC (James O'Connor)'s forward passes

 

[Ranga-Richo]

Far out

 

[Pokinacha]

Looked like a bunch of super rugby player playing against an international rugby team.

 

[molman]

Far out

Far out indeed.

not very good
JOC (James O'Connor) probably played his last test?
Wright not very good.
Too many missed tackles by forwards.
Bad discipline. Arnold anonymous (again)

 

[dru]

Huge game for the Pumas. Where to for Rennie's men?

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Was just thinking the same
Quite a few 2nd to 4th string picks to back that up but enough good cattle there that it should’ve at least been close

Don't say that. Queenslanders are gonna hate u

Think it's unfair picking specific players here. JOC (James O'Connor) did not lose that game.

It was won through different playing styles and the Pumas enforcing their nature on the game. Aided by the Wallabies with
a) less than ideal set piece
b) slow to structure in D on turnover or the high ball
c) poor organisation defending runners or high ball at the back
d) discipline

The possession and territory stats will be interesting.
