Pumas vs Wallabies, 25th July 2015, Mendoza

[Strewthcobber]

Pocock seems to have been shortchanged according to FoxSports stats.

14 tackles, 1 turnover, 3 carries and 1 defender beaten.

Yeah that can't be right? Does getting a penalty count as a turnover?

Interestingly the all blacks gave up 2 tries and scored 4 against Argentina. Currently we've given up 0 and scored 3.

What exactly is everybody expecting?

it wasn't a perfect performance but we really can't whinge about this effort. They have beaten the Pumas by the same margin as the All Blacks, away, and with a backline that forceably lost all structure after 10 minutes.

One positive continuing from last week is the bench impact in the forwards.

Polota-Nau, Sio, Mumm, Hooper all making good impact.

Bonus Point win!

Two Dads - Legend.

Is that his first touch? I think he made a tackle earlier but not much else IIRC.

No passes from him so Dry July is still looking good.

Bonus Point try. AUS 34 Arg 9 after Foley shanks another kick at goal.

Fat lady singing after Jaco blows no game.

 

[KOB1987]

make that by a bigger margin. And correct your stats TWAS to 4-0!

Beale.. 2 try assists

Australia have the dream draw in this years Rugby Championship - home games against the two strongest teams. I guess shortened because of World Cup?

 

[Marcelo]

If Boudjellal (Toulon's owner) is watching this game, he won't sue the ARU. He'll send a gift to the ARU's managers

 

[BigSteve]

loving this bench impact that has become a real strength of the wallabies in the last 2 games no matter who comes on!

 

[Bullrush]

Mid-field shaould have run into Hooper as Folau used him to get thru the gap there - could have been interesting

 

[the sabanator]

If Foley keeps kicking like this he's going to cost us a game at some point. Ditto for Quade

 

[Train Without a Station]

Goal kicking is the only difference between the all blacks and our final scores actually

 

[Intruder]

Kurtley Beale first two impacts of the game positive = two try assist.
1. To put Foley through for Kuridrani try
2. Back up Folau and slick pass to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)

Selections for the bench will be hot

 

[TahDan]

As a 12 yes - both Quade & Foley are top options at 10

Cooper appears more afraid of contact than the other 10s. Foley can be a bit lateral, but Cooper has a habit of even going backwards and away from forward support at times.

No chance at the WC with that goal kicking by Foley (and Cooper last week).

Do they have a goal kicking coach in the set up?

 

[Chunderstruck]

Is this another indication of the WBs getting flogged in training? Another strong finish, this time after a long flight

 

[Train Without a Station]

Sorry I'm wrong, AB's scored 5 tries

 

[Tomikin]

Beale.. 2 try assists

He wasn't in TK's try .. it was hooper to Foley to TK.. I believe
