Wallabies v Pumas
-
"Rhule" - well played
Hodge is a bit of a puzzle. Capable of playing pretty much anywhere from 12 out, and has that big boot to clear the zone and kick long range goals.
Actually I'd like to see him have a pop at the Boks from inside our half, given its up on the veldt (Bloem) -

Is Uelese very influential, or were you merely taking the puiss?
He was great. Really important turnover that shifted the momentum and his support play was superb. Got a try, throwing was good at lineout. Top game by the young bloke in his second outing - considering he's had 28 minutes of Super Rugby this year + U-20 world cup, he didn't look out of place.
Sounds one to watch for future: I'll do so.
Did you watch AB-SA? Thought Dreyer 'competed' very effectively until Nige cottoned on!

@Rapido I know you're being a little facetious
but Lacey wasn't too bad. A couple of times he let players crawl on the deck. He missed a couple of neck tackles. One of the scrums was called our way that should not have been imho.Mostly though, he reffed in a very NH style i.e. don't call too many ruck penalties; let the players sort it out and if it is a mess, so be it.
Yes, but that scrum was under the Argies posts and the Wallabies scored a try from it. From 10-13, the score passed to 17-13 and then it was a different game. Hanigan's knock-on was evident and the touch judge should have called Lacey that he had made a huge error. It was the turning point of the game IMO.

@NTA Pity they don't sell that overseas!
It doesn't have any live games, except NRC, and the quality varies a bit.

They were out on their feet the last 25 minutes and we had our way with them. Their scrum was imploding, ours was getting dominant, and our breakdown accuracy was much better in the second half.
They barely fired a shot except for one individual try.

absolutely - i recall hearing one of the comms giving some ridiculous scoreline stat about how bad the argies had been in the last 20 mins of all of their games - wish i could remember it. it's a real problem for them at the moment - especially with the props they have out.

@nta fucken oath. they must be hard work to play for, coach or support - as someone who doesn't even care whether they win or lose they frustrate the shit out of me. so much almost really good stuff which they fuck up, and so much crumbling after looking shit-hot.
