Deserved 3rd for the wallabies. That's actually pretty disappointing for them to be honest.
Argentina are spirited but desperately limited.
Pretty shit comp to round out a complete fuck of a year.
Eat a fat one 2020.
And these commentators blowing smoke up Rennies ass. For what?? Why no hard questions? And why are Gregan and Harrison talking about a fucken journey??!!
@voodoo they've borrowed Jarryd Hayne as speech-writer?

Lets be honest, the competition massively missed the Springboks.

Oh, yeah, basically a clone. Under achievers. -
@nostrildamus when Read didn't have things going his way, he was a fucking whiner extraordinaire.
-
@NTA especially in that dark period 2012-2016.
https://www.allblacks.com/playerprofiles/kieran-read/
"Read’s 19 consecutive wins as All Blacks Captain from 2012 to 2016 is a world record." -
Hooper and Read: like peas in a primordial pod.
-
@mariner4life the Wallabies are world class at disappointing. fluffybunnies just squirt disappointment juice on any person who comes in any kind of contact with em.

All square on match points.
Had Argies won that their record of two wins and a draw would have been the best. Ditto for Oz.

Aboriginal verse with the players singing - awesome.
That is, quite frankly, awesome!

Rennie tried things. Most failed, but he is at least armed with some idea where he can build and where he can't. I reckon he will go away and come back next year a lot stronger. If nothing else, he will have some strategy to break the Pumas defence.
Foster tried nothing this year. So next year he will be exactly where he is now -- with no plan and uncertain about who to pick.

He did try some things. I'm not saying he's been a disaster. But the Wallabies have put out 2 pretty turgid performances against Argentina in a row, and they finished last in the Rugby Championship. I dont know that he learned a whole lot more about his side, maybe he did.
But its certainly not worth of the praise they were dishing out last night

I know it’s fashionable to knock Foster, but from my armchair he tried a number of new things and blooded new players that now have test experience. In a compressed schedule that was very different to anything in the last 20 years, I think there were quite a few things that became far more certain.
Rennie has a lot of question marks over his squad I reckon with many young players and a few guys ‘hanging on’.

Incredible rain but even more alarming was the lack of any tactical wet weather rugby.
Argies could have held there league by simply kicking for territory.
Neither team consistently put the ball behind the opposition, but rather we watched a game of running rugby with a big bar of soap. Thought it was all a bit strange, but quite a compelling game never the less
