    Ok. Heart rate still elevated.

    Playing goodly though both sides of ball.

    Nice finish to half, conversion would have been handy. (Put it down Shannon!)

    Who wasn't screaming at Angus when Nuggie's kick was touched?

    Problem for the argies , they won’t beat us in units of 3

    First try after half time massive, could be game over if it’s us

    Real sense of inevitability about the whole thing, seems to have affected the crowd too. Obvs wouldn’t care if I was an AB fan.

    Probably good for the ABs. Have a flat week but pay no price, then get up to face the opponent in the final

    How does Telea do it? Not the biggest or the fastest but breaks tackles at will.

    That's a good half. The defence is so good. Patient, thrn there is a rush once the runner is identified. It's frustrating the Pumas in to grubber kicks

    On attack we're not as direct as.last week, but still lots of phases, and thr Mo'unga Jordie Reiko axis looks so good

    Problem, as always, is we keep inviting Argentina back because we either can't kick far enough, or contest our kicks.

    We're in a good spot

    Still can't exit to save themselves. Frustrating!

    Surely we can get someone in to teach our guys to long punt?

    Interesting game stats.

    We’ve had higher possession but have had to make 41 more tackles. Shows our deficit in field position.

    Penalty count is good

    All Blacks need to play territory better. Kick long. Use their defence to pin the Argentinians back. Force them to play in their half.

    Argentina really need a try soon after half time.

    All hail King Telea, made that try!

    NZ defence is great again. Disciplined and contesting every ruck. When we get the ball, Mounga is giving them kittens. Barrett is also so good at 12 because he offers not only a physical threat but also a passing and jinking threat. Tight five are doing a fab job cleaning out rucks. We got this!

    How’s the atmosphere at the ground?

    It’s actually pretty good. There are a decent number of kiwis there, also argies then a mix of all nationalities. Even a few AB AB chants. Along with allez les bleus, Fields of Athenry (the poor buggers) and whatever the argie chant it. We even came across mad keen rugby fans from Germany. I think crowd just enjoying the spectacle despite the result starting to become clear.

    A quick try after HT will enable me to get on with my life. Until then I get flashbacks to 99.

    The BB- RMo fullback covering combination is working like a dream too

    This All Black team misses a left-footed kicking option... not that there is anyone viable to fix that without major tradeoffs in weakening the attack.

    I would love to see the stats on average exit distance by team. I suspect it would be a very telling stat.

    @frugby I'd love them to sort out our right foot kicking options and then worry about the left...

    I'm genuinely thinking it's a deliberate tactic. Any other explanation does my head in.
