Pumas vs All Blacks
-
Terrible performance by the ref which did nothing to repair the reputation of French officials.
Good Old School test win by the All Blacks built on being better than the opposition at set piece and the breakdown. I thought Ardie Savea and Karl Tu'inukuafe were excellent.

The big units for Pumas like the their no. 5 are always niggly, that is just the way they play the game and always have, but that shitbag Sanchez at 10 has to be one of the most annoying little shits going. He really should be playing at 9 with his attitude...
Annoying as he is I think he's actually improved as a rugby player and has added a decent running game that hasn't always been apparent. Still, I'd like to see BBBR clean him out at a ruck for the shits and giggles.

Peyper is a pussy too. He'd yellow card that knock down every day of the week
Excuse the pavlovian reaction but can you please refrain from using the term "knock down"? Knocking the ball down is not illegal. "Knock forward" or "knock on" please.
The terminology is important because we wind up with idiots who get upset about perfectly legal plays.
Thank you and apologies.

Best midfielder in the country gets our bonus point back
How did he manage that? He was doing radio commentary with Nigel Yalden.

Nah.
Anyone that doesn't know the difference can stay the fuck out of the conversation.Every rugby person knows what's legal or not off the hand
Don't change words or make pedantic language rules for dumb people, it's up to the dumb to change, not the other way round.
Argie knocked the ball on, forward AND down illegally, should have been a yellow card

Was about to start my reply with "But Justin Marshall ... "
So ... umm ...
Anyway whilst I like your point and want it to be true unfortunately it's not.

How strong have our propping stocks got? Big Karl is making every post a winner. Ofa is going from strength to strength. Laulala/Hames are to come back. You can't get better than Franks and Moody. Today, Ta'avao looked like he had been there for years. Perry has looked the goods every time he has come on. The scrum is becoming a huge weapon!
The only problem I have is pronouncing/spelling the names.... -
@samurai-jack We still have Moli to come back as well. Will be interesting to see how Fidow and Lomax develop over the next couple of years, both look to have a heap of potential.

Have to say, fair dues Ardie, you had a cracker and I didn't know you had it in you. Although I'll just temper that a little by saying last year when unpopular loose forwards smashed up Argentina there were many of us saying it's only Argie (including me).
I had no problem with the Cubelli try, all he's done is change the position of his hand. However I've just noticed the massive obstruction on Perenara which seems to have been ignored? I highly doubt it's a try without the obstruction.
Missed seeing Goodhue. SBW played well, that offload was a beauty...but...Goodhue would have straightened that attack up early doors when it kept drifting and would have just popped a nice normal pass.
And wasn't Raynal the ref when we lost to Ireland? It is weird how these French ref's incompetency so often resembles bias...
-
was that one of the best ever performances in Black by Ardie?
Certainly put his hand up as a genuine back up to Read with that performance, and then there is the fact he was used more in the lineout too, we've known on here for ages he had the required height!
