@stargazer it's cause they is shit, innit
to be fair, no one cares about Argentina either

@stargazer said in WALES JUNE TOUR: SA IN DC, ARGENTINA:
Not sure why the individual Wales tests aren't allowed their own thread; why was "Argentina v Wales - Test #1" removed? Aren't people interested in Wales anymore?
BEcasue we have this tour thread which encompasses all tour events, including tests. (As MikeTheSnow tried pointing out)
-
Personally I just don't really care about Argentina. If Wales were playing SA or Aus I'd be far more interested.
-
If we keep this under a 15 point margin we're doing well.

You're as bad as the Irish trying to claim underdog status. The argies aren't waht they were - the team seems to have gone downhill since the last RWC unfortunately.

At home with a side comprised of players who for the most part have been playing together week in week out versus a Wales team missing significant Lions calibre firepower.
Underdog status is hardly a stretch methinks.

Welsh ref.World ranking #5 is for past successes/failures not for future potential with current squad.
Referee is Irish.

FUCK YES
HUGE WIN for Wales.
Adam Beard was immense.
So too James Davies.
Two great tries scored.

Congratulations to Wales on the win! Not trying to take anything away from Wales's game, particularly their defence was very good, but what a lacklustre performance from the Pumas. Maybe tired after a huge series of games, and the travel, from the Jaguares?
And who was that idiot of a commentator? Who in their right mind is revealing the results of other games? I had been avoiding the news and internet all day, so I could watch S Africa v England without knowing the result, and then this dumbass starts discussing the games during his commentary. He also repeated it several times, and also the recent wins of the Jaguares were mentioned at least three times. Ugghhh.
The next game will be interesting. This win will give Wales a great boost for sure.

Never allowed the Pumas to get into second or maybe third gear.
All commentators do it. And even more appealing to him yesterday, sering as Wales only NH team to beat SH/in SH comp team

While we wait for the 2nd Test team announcement, the Welsh players have been told to get their dancing shoes dusted off
Crusaders coach Scott Robertson has responded to speculation linking him with the Wales job.
New candidate emerges to be the next Wales rugby coach and he wants to know if there's a wave pool in Cardiff | Wales Online
It looks like Wayne Pivac and Dave Rennie have competition
-
Scott Robertson says he's flattered by reports that he's in the conversation to be the Wales' next head coach, but says there's "nothing behind" them.

@mikethesnow Can be a decent stepping stone to coaching the ABs (Henry, then Hansen).
