Agree, thought that was a mile forward, but not a peep from the officials or (less surprisingly) the commentators

Its not in the spirit of the commentary team

[Bones]

Argentina weirdly look a mess in the early phases and seem to look more and more organised, the more phases they go through.

[Bones]

Losing Ikitau is huge.

[Mattasaurus]

Certainly not the intensity from either team that the Boks and ABs showed earlier.

[Damo]

Argies got to stop kicking it. They look OK with ball in hand, then they kick it away.

Really like their patterns, looks eerily similar to a team in black last week...

[Bones]

I wish there was Cheika cam. Absolutely losing his shit, over fuck knows what. An Aussie player having the audacity to jump higher than one of his players?

[Mattasaurus]

Fuck off "not sure he came from the side..... open your other eye ffs .. plus not allowed to change your bind you muppets

[Damo]

Stupid from Skelton. I can't believe comms think that was OK.

[Mattasaurus]

was it 3 or 4 penalty advantages leading up tot that try?. could have save the Aussies a YC

[Damo]

Good passage of play. Aussie's giving away a few PK advantages too. This could be a good game of the cripples.

[Bones]

@Damo Eddie Jones going 0-4 before the rwc would be fun.

[MiketheSnow]

Important match in the context of the RWC

Highly likely QF match up

Peyper doesn't miss much does he? There is something very uncomplicated about the way he refs.

Also good to see a ref with a few pounds on him. Gives me hope.

That's a hard sell after that first try 😂

Plus having to go to the tmo to check the argie try when he was right there 😊

If the Pumas didn't constantly try to milk penalties at the rucks they would probably get a few more penalties at the ruck... try and play the ball fast and it will point out the the Aussie tackler not moving away fast enough.

Peyper is a good step up from the super refs we had to deal with

TMO should have noticed the forward pass. I mainly blame him and the AR.

What’s so good about Porecki? He just seems so bloody average. I really don’t get some of these Aussie selections.

[GibbonRib]

@Bones I wonder if there's some dodgy reality-TV style editing going on, showing a clip of him raging about something unrelated 10 minutes earlier to make him look a bit unhinged

Yeah but iirc Peyper was directly in line with it, so should have had a good view.

Like you and gib say though, significant step up!

But that glaring miss was yuuuuuck.
