Pumas v Wallabies, Rosario, 5th October 2013

[lewisr]

Quade, Genia and Folau on fire.

 

[Dave Beat]

QC (Quade Cooper) passing game is on fire

 

[RoffsChoice]

I'll be truly happy with this performance if we leak less than 7 in the middle of this half.

 

[oztimmay]

Genia having a blinder! I'm starting to see how good kurandari is with ball in hand.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Oh dear - Scrum. Hold your breath.

 

[oztimmay]

Oh no, scrum time

 

[Chunderstruck]

Why isn't Mowen pushing in the scrum?

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Isn't bringing slipper back tempting fate? Next card has to be red.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Contepomi is trying too hard.

 

[lewisr]

Rob SImmons ankle tap!

 

[RoffsChoice]

And Simmons is working very hard. I'm impressed with him.

 

[Chunderstruck]

Tomane does most of his defending in no-man's land

 

[Hugh Jarse]

And Simmons is working very hard. I'm impressed with him.

Not all that often that we get to be positive about Simmons contributions.

Cooper hasn't broken a tackle since Moses wore short pants. If he's going to take the ball to the line he needs to get rid of it when the contact arrives.

 

[No4918]

Cooper palms Legaizamon. WTF

 

[galumay]

They ARE performing better tonight. The backline passes are going to where the receiver is going to be rather than there where he is.

It's a long road back but this is the best they have performed this season.

...against an absolutely woeful effort by the Pumas, of course it flatters the wobblies and makes them look better.

No. He needs to get the balance right between offloads and taking the tackle. He was heavily crtisized for throwing it away too often. It's a test match. Better to go low percentage and hit the deck

 

[Elfster]

Over on Gem the original Avengers is getting shown. Some cool 60's retro cool on display.

OK, back to the rugby.

 

[galumay]

see what i mean?!

 

[hughbert]

.against an absolutely woeful effort by the Pumas, of course it flatters the wobblies and makes them look better.

Turn it off then, I guess.
