NSW Barbarians tour to Argentina

[Santiago]

first half

Lots of pressure and lots of "lobby" "yours" passes but
Alofa Alofa doesn't look out of place, Skelton looks better and better, Tala Gray looks alright

Crawford, Mitchell & Horne as expected, are a level ahead some of these units

Scrum is getting slaughtered

do you mean Lobbe?

 

[The Rant]

well only saw the last 10mins, but scoreline aside it's bloody entertaining. VV trying to play schoolboys. C'mon mitchell. Farewell try!

 

[No4918]

Just tuned in, Who are these beautiful Argentinian women?

Springboks might get surprised by an Argie team with game time under there belt.

 

[fatprop]

do you mean Lobbe?

passes that are thrown up in the air too high under pressure, with lots of hang time so the defender can smash the receiver

oh thanks

Second half, come on Tahs let's get it together!

 

[Lee Grant]

Argie line speed good; combining well except near end of first half. They would like to have better oppositon though.

Three tries were started from kick throughs after NSW had ball - if memory serves.

Looking forward to seeing LHP David Lolohea if he gets on - he was good scrumming for W Harbour last I saw.

 

[Lee Grant]

18 y.o.Horwitz on - scores.

Is that Lolohea I see - must be - he took up a lot of the screen.

Horowitz misses wide conversion - one of his weaknesses - not a great goal kicker.

 

[JT0406]

Yes! That's better! Great run Faelii

 

[mjw]

Argie in again 25-0. Lucas hooked already - poor - the new guy Faleali'i looks handy.

Thought Lucas went off for blood. Holding his face.

 

[Lee Grant]

NSW playing better - still absent from rucks to protect their ball, but better.

Horwitz looking streets better than Volvo was … so far.

NSW get near Argie line and play pick and go - get PK but not game to take scrum - take lineout - get over but held up??

Yes.

 

[The Rant]

who's the halfback in 21? Got some style. Liking it.

 

[Santiago]

The more time they stay in the field, the more tired they will feel (NSW)

 

[Fowi]

I've just started watching, but I like the look of Tala Gray, looks good at the back of the scrum and made a couple of good charges.

 

[Santiago]

but damn, argentina lost all posesion

 

[Lee Grant]

NSW 5 M scrum shaky but get ball.

Scrum Argies - better NSW scrum - Arg break out but JMH too fancy and play breaks down.

Looks like a brand new NSW team in first 15 mins of 2nd half instead of just a few changes.

 

[fatprop]

18 y.o.Horwitz on - scores.

Is that Lolohea I see - must be - he took up a lot of the screen.

Horowitz misses wide conversion - one of his weaknesses - not a great goal kicker.

and he looks alright

 

[fatprop]

pushover coming

 

[Lee Grant]

Better contest for Argies 2H.

Thought Lucas went off for blood. Holding his face.

You're right - he's back - pity I wanted to see more of Falelai'i.


Argies held up from lineout in again in only chance of 2nd half.


Argie scrum - here comes the scary part.

 

[Lee Grant]

Argies over 39-5 - too good - watched carefully by NSW forwards.
