@stargazer Expect bruising….

Argentinian egos maybe

[Davesofthunder]

This one is a Raeburn Shield challenge too...

2018 was the last time the All Blacks held it and we haven't even had a shot at it since then! Hopefully we can come out of the rugby championship with it.

Curious to see how the Boks are this week after coming down from the Lions series

[ARHS]

This could be a close one. No Cubelli though

[Stargazer]

[ACT Crusader]

A couple of forward passes in a row from the Boks but play on.

[ACT Crusader]

Pumas try a fancy backline move and only 2/3rds of it goes right and the Boks halfback picks up the pieces and scores a try.

[Stargazer]

Was Fassi onside? Looked miles in front of the kicker.

[Stargazer]

Also not convinced the Springbok hooker supported his own body weight in that turnover.

[Bones]

@stargazer saffa ref?

[Stargazer]

One way traffic so far.

Pumas look horrible ball in hand. Panic mode everywhere.

[sparky]

Just imagine what the Boks would do to this side.

[ACT Crusader]

They need to stop this snake crap at the back of a ruck and the halfbacks rolling it back with hand or foot behind two or three guys joining a ruck.

Massive blight on the game. Been bad from both sides in this one. Even noticed Aaron Smith did it once tonight.

I was going to say the Olympic 7s finished last week…

Helter skelter stuff from the Argies.

[Bones]

@kiwimurph that was astute.

[ACT Crusader]

Highlight of the match so far, Argies lock gets penalised for crawling and then as he gets up the Boks halfback goes to the grab the ball off him and he gets a little excited by not giving it to him and ends up back on the deck.
