TRC 2016: Matches not involving Australia

[Iñaki Zubizarreta]

and the high tackle over Hernández?? the SA player kept grabbing his neck still on the ground

 

[Iñaki Zubizarreta]

This Argentina team has me baffled. A team made up of mostly the same players was barely competitive at super rugby level.

me too

 

[Iñaki Zubizarreta]

Can Mohoje tackle under the line of the shoulders??? Four times, Garces!

 

[Tangawizi]

Congrats to the Pumas. Both on the win and for cranking out AC/DC on the stadium sound system to celebrate.

Well done the Argos, was good to watch a test that was close!
The Argo's certainly do seem to lift another bit of a level at home, and good on them it can only be good for the game there.

so we are going to finish last

Highlights:

 

[Brumby Runner]

Jerome Garces is doing a good job of talking about the scrum but doesn't fix the fucking problem.

When the front rows are too far apart they will collapse 95% of the time. He puts a mark in the ground, the Sa hooker puts his foot next to it, then when everyone else packs he moves back a foot. He then incorrectly free kicks against Argentina because they HAVE to push on engage just to REACH the Sa front row.

This happens ALL THE TIME!

I noticed the SA front row doing exactly the same thing last week as well.

The main SA commentator in that clip - who is it?
He's terrible.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Jeeze there's a drop in intensity compared to what the Wobs have been through over the last couple of weeks.

Look at the defensive line on that first try. Barely get up at all

^^^^^^^^^^ Only saw the second half but, yeah, I think your blokes should go OK against both of them, Argentina damn near choked but Sethfricka just weren't good enough to capitalise. Loved Steyn missing what would've been the match- winner, serves them right for continuing to pick dinosaurs. I know Pollard's injured but Steyn? Even as a reserve, he's well past his best by date.

Wait........Morne Steyn? Even with the quotas to fill? From an SA perspective it would be better to start Jantjies (played better & fills the quota)

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^^^^ Jantjies started but came off early in the second 40, not sure if injured or hooked. Looking forward to @MHCS's match review, should be up soon (expect lots of !!!!!!!!!!!!!'s unless @LeeGrant edits them out )

 

[Marcelo]

Can the current Wallabies beat these Pumas?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Marcelo's review is up:

Not a single "!" to be seen, not sure I'd have been that restrained if my team had just pulled off a "first-ever" of that magnitude. Anyhoo, give it the click it deserves!

Jantjes all but fell to pieces.

He has not controlled a test match yet. Seems to be unable to take the step up I'm afraid.

Bokke have injury problems: Ruan Combrink fractured his fibula & is out for up to six weeks, Elton Jantjies has a groin injury & will need scans to determine the severity.

[Ulrich]

Bokke have more than injury problems. If this continues nobody will sponsor them and nobody will bother to spend money to watch them and they may soon lose their spot in the Southern hemisphere competition.

 

[boyo]

Can the current Wallabies beat these Pumas?

I would say "No"

 

[Marcelo]

I would say "No"

It will be interesting. Perhaps the ABs and the Poms are so good and the Boks are so poor
