Argentina v Australia, Mendoza 4/10/14

[Wilson]

Too many silly penalties

 

[biggsy]

Slipper great hit, was there arms though

 

[cyclopath]

Dumb penalty from Kepu (played ad) then Horwill. Will pay the price here I think.

 

[Pfitzy]

It would be nice if Owens would check his facts, and penalise arriving players in their feet from either side

 

[qwerty51]

We're in deep shit here despite the scoreline. Highly fatigued and will keep defending all game and Nigel getting pissed off.

Horwill released and attempted to roll away backwards and got pinged for not rolling away. What cock Owens

Owens pinged him for entry actually.

Had to pick something.

Oranges.
AUS 14 ARG 8 after Sanchez is finally successful with a PK attempt.

Cursed. Just cursed

The worst part is I turned the game on at 15mins and we haven't looked like playing any rugby since then. Cursed the whole fucking thing this morning.

Were you barracking for The Darkness earlier today? Job done.

I'm a big fan of Owens normally, but the breakdown is awful. He's allowing players to charge in and flop all over the place, he's pinged us off our feet and playing a couple (fair enough) but completely ignored a few others. I've seen 2 good turnovers by Hooper that he just hasn't given.
The Wallabies need to get out of their half and drive the Argies into their corners. And stop the dumb penalties.
We'll run out of puff at this rate - @Qwerty51 is right

Too many silly penalties

This is the onging blight of the Wallabies' game. Last week with a 10-5 lead we gave away so many foolish penalties that all hope of building on our lead perished.

Same story here in Mendoza. With a well earned 14-0 lead the momentum shift of that half that's led to the Pumas having so much possession and clawing back 8 points can be traced to lazy runners being penalized for being in front of the kicker shortly followed by Higgers cynical hands in the ruck.

Simple message from Link: stop the flow of penalties & we win.

 

[Quick Hands]

Great start by the Wallabies, but Argentina are a quality team and fought back well. We need to score early in this second half, already showing signs of fatigue from last week's match and travel. Gutsy defence, but we need to cut out out the dumb penalties - definitely can't afford one in the bin.

 

[KOB1987]

We really need to hold onto the pill from here and let the backs do their shit..

The Men in Gold need to get their hands on the Pill some more and rumble it up to Los Pumas, and force them to expend energy in defence.

We are in danger of getting puffed out and repeating last weeks final 10 minutes performance unless we start dominating some possession and position.

Barnes reffed the same style in Jo'burg

Hold the pill and get the pill.

If it's close at the end we will struggle to close this out.

Not what his hand signal suggested when he gave the penalty

It was his voice suggested though. I'm impressed if you can interpret Nigel's sign language!
