TRC 2016: Matches not involving Australia

[Hawko]

QH, some are better and some are worse. Like you though, I rate Marius and think he's one of the best.

I agree. Stuart Berry is one of the worst ever to blow a Super whistle,

The exception proves the rule.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Awesome rendition of the Argentina National Anthem. Los Pumas are fired up.

 

[ACR]

Peyper lets two successive forward passes go then rules a knock on from a steal. Weirdo.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

How was Read not offside at that lineout?

Not that it matters because The Darkness stack on 3 meat pies in no time at all.

Hard to see Los Pumas come back from this.

Oranges. NZL lots ARG 3

 

[Bullrush]

Damn - this ABs team is just ridiculous. The support and back-up is unbelievable.

Sanchez tries to milk a penalty but either JP didn't see it or treated it with the contempt it deserved. Someone needs to take this guy aside & tell him it's rugby he's playing, not fucking dive ball. Then next time he takes a dive, send the fucker off (& I mean Red, not Yellow).

 

[FrankLind]

Anton Leinert Brown is playing like our long term center solution.

So much time, great option taking, great off-loading and good defence.
Conrad Smithesque.

 

[Highlander35]

Any other team would have been given a second yellow card by now, even before the clearly dangerous tackle.

 

[Bullrush]

Dangerous tackle my ass - great defence.

 

[Bullrush]

The video guys did their best to milk that with 43 slow mo replays of that tackle. Shouldn't have even been a penalty.

 

[Highlander35]

Dangerous tackle my ass - great defence.

First contact around the neck, had it been lower to start with, the tackle isn't effective, turnover isn't made.

Advantage gained from illegal action.

Incident didn't deserve a card by itself, but that is approximately 5 penalties in the 22 since the first card, a second is well deserved.

EDIT: And Peyper grows balls when it no longer takes any to make the call. 2nd yellow AFTER the first one comes back on. Bloody Eunuch.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

How many offside penalties in the red zone are needed to start dishing the cards?

 

[Bullrush]

Can't say ABs are not getting carded when a clear neck roll by the Argies doesn't get a card and are not even getting called for off-side.

 

[FrankLind]

Pumas are Hollywood specialists. Pathetic.

What a shit Hollywood to end the game too

 

[Highlander35]

Massive win well deserved by the ABs.

Lack of spine shown by Peyper throughout the whole match.

 

[Dan54]

Well this is a game that should of stopped at halftime, though I was quite pleased to Pumas get some points in second half it was one of worst halves I have seen for a long time!
ABs definitely switched off at oranges and Pumas maybe stepped up!

 

[Tordah]

Any other team would have been given a second yellow card by now, even before the clearly dangerous tackle.

Being a Scotland fan must be tough. Like watching those Argie players dive left and right like soccer fluffybunnys

The All Blacks are the most cynical team in World Rugby. They are a blight on the game with the continual giving away of penalties in their half. The fact they have the absolute best attack in the world is lost on me because they are so professional in the way they concede penalties. It is no better than Lance Armstrong winning races on the juice.
I'll admit Nesbit and co make it worse as they constantly downplay any infringement by the Black or write it off as accidental. When the historical support for scum like Colin Meads, Richard Low, Frank Bunce and Owen Franks is added in I truly detest them, whgich is a great pity because the only decent backline play in the world comes from the All Blacks at Tier 1 test level.
