Good win, now let’s show the Boks who’s the real no 1.

Hell of an effort from Vaa'i to go 80, but the only time I've "seen" him is when he's dotting down. Struggling with if that's a good thing or not.
He's not much of a presence eh.
8 tackles made, none missed
Third highest run getter of the forwards (39) off 9 runs, with 7 passes as well, and 2 defenders beaten (1 clean break).
He’s been doing pretty well I thought (without being a BBBR or Whitelock).

But they’re so physical. And have you seen the size of them?

Ofa looks massive.
He's a fucking massive unit actually looking a lot trimmer I thought

Number One in the World!!!!!
Only if World Rugby ranking system counts this as having Home Advantage for Argentina.
I don't think they will... I think the Aussie commentators, surprisingly, are full of shit. -

Bladder missed 5 tackles, against a pretty lame Argentina, despite the sky team bigging him up, he's not a keeper at this level
Yeah that is really poor. Ended on four penalties too.

4 (↓3) England 85.44
5 (↓4) Ireland 84.85Yeah - exactly. If this was counted as Argies having Home-Advantage - NZ would have had (+0.83) - taking us to #1.
Edit - and I think everybody is, or should be, happier with counting this as a "No Home Advantage" game.
The taking of #1 should rightly come down to next weeks game. -
@tim said in All Blacks vs Pumas II:
@gt12 Yeah, I thought he was good tonight.
I’m not sure he’s an international lock (he looks a lock/6 to me or a Barrett replacement) but he probably outplayed Tuips over the game (Patty started well but went a bit missing).
Btw, they’ve updated the stats and apparently Vaa’ii had 10 made, none missed.

Samisoni goes from strength to strength. Good to see Sotutu back and his skill. Jordie surely cements his status as best fullback. DMac played a very good understated role. With more time and confidence he'll be a decent third option. Rieko just looks amazing at centre, getting the ball more often and his pace makes a big difference on attack.
