Pumas v All Blacks

[chimoaus]

I wonder if we have ever been held to 0 in a half vs Argentina?

[Tim]

The problem with this team is that they can't simplify things when the high speed, flat attack game plan is disrupted.

@bones

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but he blew a try with a forward pass that school boy should be embarrassed about, then followed that up by passing the ball to the argies without even looking where his support was.

[Bones]

@kiwimurph very true...I just noticed @gt12 having a crack, people love to knock Naholo.

[taniwharugby]

Hate to be the team that comes up against us if we can string it together for 60+ mins

Oh right, well I can completely take ya seriously now...

Yeah, we don't seem to be able to tighten up and stick to the basics when required. Very messy performance.

[kev]

Laumape had every chance to make the pass, but took wrong option. Like everyone else this half.

Like the Boks?

[taniwharugby]

@nepia that was less than 60

[Nepia]

That was 3 terrible passes in a row!

[Mokey]

Jesus fuck. The passing on display this second half has been truly appalling.

[Bones]

Fuck me. Come back Mick Byrne.

Pedant! I was reckoning on the first 20 mins a contest the last 60 a touch match for us.

[Tim]

@tim Think we lack McCaw's leadership. Hallmark of his team was ability to go back to basics.

[taniwharugby]

@nepia I reckon it was about 50 in that game

That's why I thought the Boks weren't really that bad. Argentina were on track to lose by even more but we slacked off and gave away a few YC's. I don't think this Argentinian performance was any worse than the Boks two weeks ago.

[kev]

Not pressure, discipline, decision making, greed.

[chimoaus]

Congrats to the ABs on another win and another Rugby Championship.

Carter at 10 too a huge factor there.
