Referee is excellent. No mucking about with TMO, clear communication and not a single decision you can unequivocally say is wrong.

He needs to be harder on their scrum

@Bones said in All Blacks v Argentina II:

ABs thrive in wet weather attacking. Causes the defence to give that extra moment.

Wet weather normally rewards the side with better technique. Players getting into the right body positions that split moment sooner.

Hats off to all the junior coaches up and down New Zealand who drilled the fundamentals of how to play footy into these players from an early age.

Argentina made they most of last week's win it appears

Seriously, NZ playing much better but I think Argentina have a Championship plan.

They know they can't go week after week so I think they're focusing on peaking against OZ.

3 wins in the Championship will be a huge season for them.

Just watching the try highlights, it’s like watching the Warriors defend against the All Blacks tonight.

Fantastic to see them play with that intensity

That and the accuracy in this weather is a beautiful thing to watch.

Now to destroy the Argentinian confidence by doing the same for another 40mins.

[KiwiMurph]

Some of these law changes working well

Not straight only on contested throws

1 stoppage mauls

Keep the game moving

Que? He's penalised them practically every time.

[sparky]

That was the sort of half of rugby we were all hoping for when Robertson was given the AB's gig.

Chapeau and more of the same please.

[KiwiMurph]

Tamaiti adds a real point of difference. Something ABs need

[antipodean]

If this half is what happens when the players do as they've been coached...

Not every time

Anyone else watching the Stan coverage? Gee Mark Bosnich looks like shit these days!

@Rancid-Schnitzel All that Devils Dandruff catching up with him.

Scrum for penalty

[chimoaus]

These poor bastards checked out last week. Just like the last time they beat us then got pumped the following week.

[chimoaus]

Jesus Jordan is like an eel in water.

[KiwiMurph]

Haha the ref to Perenara

"I ref not you"

[Machpants]

Great start. Get the of before he gets penalised for being goby

[Canes4life]

Ardie having a blinder. Jordan playing very well.

[Donsteppa]

Second half service resumes. 70+ points incoming?

[nostrildamus]

Jordan aiming to get back his try to match ratio, 40-3 I believe?
