Need to make a statement against the Argie scrum.

Unsurprisingly, Canberra will be cold as fuck, probably around high single digits by kick off. Hopefully the useless bastards come out for the game in greater numbers than they did for the Brumbies, though I suspect a fair few will be driving down the highway from Sydney.

@NTA Will be interesting to see if Argie TH is more successful at staying earth bound than he was against Moody.

[NTA]

@pakman Sio and Simmons on that side, with TPN on the pinch a lot will depend on their TH lock

[pakman]

Yes. Is he a newbie?
And did strike me that Moody with Rettalick behind him was never going to be a comfortable ride last week!

[NTA]

The THP is a newbie - they're missing their top 2 THPs I think? Anyway I picked that up watching the commentary from ABs v Pumas last week.

[pakman]

@NTA Knew No 1, who's good, was out.
What do you make of Springbok TH for Saturday? Seemed to handle Moody quite well in Super final.

[NTA]

@pakman haven't even looked at the list. Still getting over the fact that Connie went back on with a broken arm last week!

[pakman]

@NTA That IS hard. Mind you the bloke who delivered me into the world scored the winning try in the third test in 1956 against the Bokke with a broken sternum.

[Stargazer]

It's 3 all, but the Pumas are looking better than the Wallabies at this stage.

[Stargazer]

You could see that try from Landajo coming. There's only one team attacking at the moment. 10-3 Pumas

Oh, and Creevy apparently changed his name to Gravy.

[Stargazer]

The Wallabies have woken up! Try Folau!

[NTA]

Hanigan and Speight just can't defend.

We have liked good for a sum total of about 40 seconds.

And this bomb kicking from our 22? Fuck

Hanigan

what's this guy doing in a national team? He's too shit for Super Rugby IMO

edit: where's Farty? He's been probably the Wobs best performing forward of the last few years

[Stargazer]

Based on that first half, the Pumas deserve to win this.

[NTA]

Fucking hell we love to find new ways to be shit

[Rancid Schnitzel]

No vote doing well tonight.

[Stargazer]

Much better 2nd half from the Wallabies. A few tries and it's suddenly 24 - 13.

FIIK.

Get Dempsey on. He's a right fluffybunny.
