if the pace f this game stays like this, I expect the final 20 will be a blow out...

Yeah, Argies are playing at a mental pace

Franks has been reading the fern ,

Big improvements to his running game

[Damo]

I like the ;endeavour from the Argies. They can keep the game close by playing stodgily, but I like the way they are playing with a bit of willingness.

I hear Shannon Frizzell's mum has a humble pie stand set-up for the fern half-time refreshments.

For running straight and offloading to an Argentinian?

If you can't see he has had a good work-rate, offered himself in contact, run nice lines, cleared our rucks etc...well there's always soccer to watch.

Does Ardie Savea ever actually pass???

If half these offloads go to hand Argentina will be ripped to shreds.

[broughie]

Owen Franks scoring a try would require forward momentum.

[Wairau]

call that half a try for Owen Franks, an assist.

Frizzel is looking good when running out wide. NMS is a nostalgic selection from 2015.

Frizzel is no doubt doing what he has been asked to do. Give NMS a chance FFS.

Can't see NZ losing this Championship for at least 5 years, maybe a decade.

How many chances does he need since he last had decent pace?

[antipodean]

Naholo gets a lot of turnovers - a real strength of his game.

Steady on it’s not even halftime yet

Franks seems to have really expanded his attacking repertoire. Next he'll be bring out the grubber in his own 22.

He still has a hell of a step. Not saying he is definitely the answer, just not ready to write him off yet. You have decided that he is past it and this colours your attitude of everything he does.
