Argies coach in tears, I can’t imagine our guys having this much passion

Maybe if Maccas is shut

So they used all their passion at Level 4 this year?

I think Foster might have - tho maybe they have drone delivery for KFC near him?

Haven’t watched yet, nor read the thread. But just seen the score by mistake.
On that, fuck you sky, a replay was supposed to be on at 9.45, I flick over at 9.46 and I see Kirwan and co still talking about an All Blacks loss.

What the actual fuck.

About time Mark Robinson called his old sparring partner Scott Roberson for a bit of a chat.

Can not believe we lost to Argentina, whose players have played no club footy, and no test since last years World Cup.

Do the right thing and walk Foster.

[JC]

I honestly can’t think of any positives the ABs can take away from that. Everything about it was pedestrian and generic. It could have been literally any one of dozens of try-hard teams from anywhere on the planet. No heart, no fire, no imagination, mediocre execution. All a bit “meh”.

If 2020 wasn’t shit enough we get this pap served up.

So Sky ends their coverage and has a replay of the game on now. Going to get record viewers this one...

@Gunner Maybe they were actually being kind by saving you from watching it?

Not sure we will win with more X factor players. We need players that do their core roles well. Two lost lineouts on their line, missed touch finder on penalty, chip kicking to defence, catch and pass in critical moments, dropping the ball in malls, lack of urgency across the game. Fuck X factor players. They can be X factor after they do the basics.

@JC The performance was so flat that I can't even bother getting mad. I just feel tired instead.

You mean exactly like how Argentina played today?

[chimoaus]

@NTA As a neutral are we overreacting or were we really that shit?

[Derpus]

@kev welcome to supporting the Wallabies

[Siam]

@chimoaus don't ask that shit stirrer😉, your eyes and gut feel are correct mate.

That's a group of capable rugby players not focussed in a believable direction. No layers to their game

[Gunner]

So what’s Foster gonna do now?

Don’t have your supposed best XV to fall back on.

Yep, I just can’t find a shit to give about this. 5 years ago you could count on one hand the teams that had won a test match against the All Blacks. Now?

[cgrant]

This was dumb from the All Blacks and it looked even dumber because their forwards were beaten at scrum time, at the lineout and in the rucks. Hard to win a game in these conditions.

Probably start his best XV again to give them a chance to "redeem" themselves

[Siam]

@JC i was surprised scotland was still an "achievement". Now I'm readying myself for a tackling mad Japan one day!

There's only one thing you want to need two hands for and that isn't it

[pakman]

The only good think I can say about that (apart from congratulating Pumas) is that I’m glad I didn’t get up at 6 a.m. to watch.

[Gunner]

We were always going to lose to the Argies one day, but shouldn’t have happened today, no fucking way.

The previous regime lost to Ireland x2, got butt fucked by England in a World Cup semi final.... so the succession planning of having Foster locked in 4 years ago is actually working, as we’re just getting more of the same.

Lucky we aren’t playing Scotland, Japan or Fiji this year or we’d turn history on its head even more by losing to them too!

Man it was boring when we knew the ABs just had to turn up and they’d win every game eh?
