Springboks vs Pumas 1

[Duluth]

Fun game for a neutral

29-28 to Arg

[W32]

Well played Argentina

[chimoaus]

Is this the first time Argentina have beaten the Boks, Wallabies and AB's during a single Championship?

[Tordah]

Manie Libbok special wins it for Argentina. That was a pretty entertaining see-saw match, well refereed

[Kruse]

Holy shit... I semi-switched off with that penalty given. He fucking MISSED?
Well done Argentina. Good luck for next week.

[Mattasaurus]

Both these teams would have beaten us comfortably last night

Argies take the lead

They might push NZ down to 3rd in the Championship

Yeah, but unless they also win in SA, we should bounce back to 2nd. (Although, I guess I should no longer assume we'll smash Aus at home)
I love that individual competitions have now been added to this toy:

World Rugby Rankings calculator

Also, if Saffas lose this, Ireland go to top of World Rankings. That makes me a little sick.

I hope you’ve got a bucket handy

Would you be surprised if I said I was at a brewery, with plenty of buckets handy?

So, every position on the RC table will be decided by the very final match, except Australia guaranteed 4th.

[NTA]

Massive choke by Libbok.

That stadium must be an awesome, sweaty mess right now...

All Blacks need to learn from Argentina's exit kicks and kicks for touch. They were glorious.

If teams are on equal points is points deferential the tie breaker?

If so, it's pretty hard to see SA not being the champion.

But but but I thought this Boks team were a generational talent and Rassie was the greatest coach since Jesus????

I don't think that was anywhere near their best side

Facetious bullshit. He's won two RWCs in a row, and his team is still one of the greatest ever. And he is experimenting and mixing up his team, buiilding depth. He has the space to make a few mistakes and loses.

I know, I know, just can't resist cos the fuckin Boks lose so rarely.

Is it fair to say the Argies are better than us atm? Some great rugby so far in this game.

No
