[No Quarter]

Wingers today look a bit, well, ordinary.

I don't know why we're flinging it wide when all we have is Bridge on the end

Power and pace (TM).

[Bones]

Sanchez arguing with the ref and touchies about nearly every decision is getting pretty annoying.

The other bloke hardly looks likely to break the game open.

Aumua starting to warm into this game. Some strong carries.

His change of pace in attack is great for a hooker.

They need to slow the game down to Bridges level

Because Foster said he was back in form and up to speed (which begs the question why he played him in earlier games).
So this is peak Bridge you are looking at.

Ref is allowing Argentina too go to their elbows at the ruck. No way they're spring their weight

Playing Argentina is annoying

unless its sideways

[Canes4life]

@african-monkey yeah his biggest work on. Seems to be getting better as the game has gone on though.

[nzzp]

Refs consistent, but wrong

I've never liked the look of him, for not much reason, but happy to cement the bias.

[Tim]

Take the three.

[bayimports]

Beaudie obviously had a bit of kicking practice this week

[antipodean]

How the hell does this clown think that Argentine hooker was supporting his feet? Good turnover my arse.

Finally we decide to create scoreboard pressure as reward for the territory.

[NTA]

Really good defensive structure from the argies. They're aware they can give away a few metres around halfway. That lets the ABs attack string out a bit, thinking they're about to crack the fast ball wide. That's when they tighten up and start hunting the ball.

Elastic thinking.

[nostrildamus]

@bayimports I'm genuinely surprised (that they let BB resume kicking duities).

[Rebound]

Can we not throw away Nic Berry. He is officially the worst. Against Black is his default. Every single game he refs NZ lose the penalty count

[Machpants]

Damnit that was close again
