TRC: Wallabies vs Los Pumas

[Kirwan]

@Anonymous was beautiful to watch, Wayne Smith like deception.

Pumas handling terrible 10 knock in first 30 mins is criminal
Lineout shit as well!!!

Moyano needs to cut out the white line fever at times

Bombed try with 4 man overlap will be costly

Wallabies try was very good

[KiwiMurph]

Argie are the Blues of international rugby.

They excel at a competitive loss.

Wallabies will win this fairly comfortably, IMO.

Lottery numbers please

[MiketheSnow]

Very enjoyable first half.

High tempo, plenty of attacking intent from both sides.

Rugby smarts (or lack thereof) Argentina's undoing.

Australian scrum looks impressive.

Oz 8 providing plenty of go forward.

If Australia had three players with Hooper's work rate and game awareness they'd be world beaters.

Cracking try despite poor final pass from Beale.

[MiketheSnow]

Fantastic Australian scrum again but terrible decision by Genia to kick the ball away.

[pukunui]

Might be a question for the Aussie rugby in general thread, and i hope no one takes this the wrong way, but do white guys not play rugby in Australia any more? Where are all the private school boys these days? AFL?

[Kirwan]

A lot of turnovers in this game

[Kirwan]

@pukunui similar to us in the 1970s with the Polynesian immigration?

[Kirwan]

Wallabies defence is taking care of the Pumas fairly easily.

[Kirwan]

Argie scrum is poor, really poor.

[Tim]

@Kirwan 2nd tier team. Might be better to get Fiji into the RC.

[MiketheSnow]

If Australia don't start playing smarter they could blow this.

Yeah. It’s helpful to develop our B and C players though.

Lost a bit of structure for sure

[MiketheSnow]

Australia are not good enough to just defend this

[Kirwan]

Not the place or time to knock on

[Bones]

Argies have got to be about the worst team at converting simple chances. They fucked that overlap in the wallaby 22 also which was just catch and pass.

[Siam]

Surely a genuine rugby mystery: whatever happened to the Argie scrum?

For sure there are heaps of Polynesians in Aust and have been for ages. There is just such a contrast to even 10 years ago. Has the private school system which traditionally produced most of the rugby players disappeared? Maybe those schools are packed with islanders on rugby scholarships now.

Not saying this is a bad thing but the change is just so obvious.
