Australia Vs Argentina, September 13, Gold Coast

[Tom Ando]

Bravo Hodgo

 

[Wilson]

2 huge pilfers in two games for hodgson

 

[Tom Ando]

Can we put Hooper in at 6 and Hodgo at 7?

 

[biggsy]

Buta , (slang meaning in spanish) not a nice word in spanish from the Arggie kicker.... but i get how he feels...

 

[oztimmay]

That knock on just saved us the game

 

[ACT Crusader]

Argies just blew a try

 

[Hugh Jarse]

That knock on by Los Pumas might be pivotal in the game.

 

[Dctarget]

Our boys look lacking will power and way too tired. I do not feel comfortable about this scrum.

 

[Bardon]

Not as bad as the Wobs in the first half but Argentina blew that try.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Not a real good game TBH. The battle for my attention "PS Vita game vs Rugby Game" has the PS Vita well & truly ahead.

 

[Bairdy]

Have had the majority of possession and territory but still we look like losing this in the final 5

 

[AngrySeahorse]

No wonder no one wants to fucking come here. Stadium in the middle of fucking nowhere and every bar shut with 15 minutes to go.

Fuck that. Play it at Suncorp or Adelaide next time.

I'd vote to give Adelaide a shot. After all they had the 7's taken away from them & that was virtually the only Rugby they had.

You sure? I'm a ref (shitty one at that), but that was in my course.

At elite level I'm pretty sure but at grassroots it sounds like this law is common.

This thread seems a decent reference, but I haven't seen anything more official.

I don't mind these scrums.. crunching away time. 2 minutes left.

 

[maxdacat]

"That's unacceptable you front row"

well penalise em both then!

 

[Shiggins]

Wow. What a terrible call.

 

[Ash]

Not sure how we are close to losing this, it has felt like a comfortable game for most of the time.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

A chance to redeem themselves for the Arg scrum?

Cowan buckled. Pen try territory?

<big sigh of relief> Short arm penalty to the Wobs.

Ball is kicked out. Siren goes. We won - Just.

Commiserations to the Pumas. Certainly came back with some starch and kept going right until the final whistle and came within a whisker of drawing the game.

 

[Shiggins]

Come on Pek!!!!!!! Hold on buddy

 

[Dctarget]

If Argentina score a try off this scrum that will finish the game. They can only go for the draw.
