Wallabies v Pumas, Bankwest (Parra), Sat 5th December

[Iñaki Zubizarreta]

Hahah what is White doing?

 

[Up the Guts]

Literally what BPA got penalised for last match against the Pumas, innocuous late hit.

 

[maxdacat]

Can we get over not playing on quickly from the actual blade of grass the infringement occurred on?

 

[Tomikin]

D

Did you not watch the game where Simone played centre????

I'm talking this game.. Simone wasn't bad in that lose either.. His not having his best game.. Change it up

 

[Silverado]

So the Argentine rugby organisation seems to be the Wild West of laws and regulations.

Pablo Matera the suspended captain in the change rooms leading the huddle at halftime and geeing the boys up. And the Pumas wearing a tribute to Maradona on their sleeves this week after being crucified by the Argentine media for not respecting his death and as a result those old tweets being dug up. Sounds to me like negotiating with terrorists.

Losing a bit of credibility on the world stage. But playing good rugby so something obviously going right for them.

Matera's suspension was overturned...

 

[Rugbynutter39]

You would have to take the 3

 

[syndrome]

To be fair he has had to receive some awful passes

Yeah he has. Simone didn’t do well last time in Wallaby jumper but he did play well in Super Rugby...give him a go?

 

[Up the Guts]

Valetini looking strong.

 

[footy1>31]

Thank you Mario Ledesma for AAA, Sio's scrumagging

 

[Dctarget]

Good opening minutes. Miserable weather, got a dominant scrum. Play field possession and scrum for penalties.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

The issue now is Petaia is likely to try harder to make amends and do something “special” rather than the mundane but effective play.

Yes always seeming to try and overplay his hand - needs to learn time to do the basics vs the razzle dazzle risky play

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Cripes that penalty was so timely...

 

[dru]

Tupou immediate pressure

 

[maxdacat]

This stupid focus on form in scrums...the argies got that last one out so play on.

 

[dru]

And we let the pressure reverse

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Does that lineout just sum up the Wallabies game

 

[Viking]

I have to admit Petaia been pretty clueless this game..his rugby IQ is very low this game..a raw talent but rugby IQ so critical to be a star player...

Not just this game though, pretty poor decision making through-out the Test season this year.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Now back in 22 - can Wallabies keep the pressure on in their 22 - not confident.....

 

[PhilClinton]

We are essentially seeing the worst traits of our backline here. Petaia overplaying everything, Paisami failing to pressure on in defence by missing some attempted big hits, Koribete average hands, Hodge just being rather shit all round.
