Argentina One: Parramatta, 14 November

[number9]

Bloody ref has fucked this game, coaching the samn Argies. Penalise the bastards.

[chimoaus]

Fuck it can’t get much worse than that surely. Well I guess losing for first time ever.

[booboo]

Faaark

Ok, we've been awful.

But Angus? Jeez

[NTA]

Loving Kremer getting niggly with Frizell. Clearly targeting his opposite.

BB would get crucified for that shit.

Richie is a million bucks with front foot ball and a $1.25 without it

He’s been fine. Been playing nice flat and getting our ball runners over the gain line. We are just turning it over too easily.

The ruck work is extremely poor.

[MN5]

Aside from his fighting Frizell has looked good

[KiwiMurph]

I have no idea where the AB points are coming from.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

That was the shittiest half of rugby from an AB team in at least a decade.

[Kirwan]

Let’s see what changes Fozzie makes at half time, it was a feature of Henry and Hanson’s early years to right a poor performance.

Get Sotutu on

@KiwiMurph you'll be right. Quick halftime chat from Supercoach and it'll be a big win. How big?

[Tim]

That's a very, very poor all black loose forward trio. Not in the same class as Argentina for physicallity. Everybody loves Savea but he often only performs in the second half when the game opens up. Impact player off the bench at this level.

[chimoaus]

Argentina doing extremely well at winning the niggle, slow game down, stop start. Can we even play phases anymore, our field kicking the last 2 weeks have been dreadful.

[booboo]

Think we're not going wide enough (when we do get the ball).

I get the impression of space on the wings but we're taking it to contact 2 and 3 in from there.

You mean Cheika?

[kev]

No continuity. Penalties both deserved and not, and some mistakes. Just get hold of ball and hold it for a while, play with accuracy and we will be ok.

Made no ground in any of his runs, missed at least one tackle and has been involved in the stupid niggle. And gave away a stupid penalty on one of the few times we were on attack.

Solid at best, like his first three games.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Frizzell is very busy but not particularly effective. Not a fan.

Who for? Might have to move Savea at six?

Bingo.

ABs have been turned over a couple of times in crucial positions because Argies have - in a very AB-like fashion - known when to strike and when to roll out and go again.

If Sotutu can help at ruck time, great, but otherwise...

Look TBH I'd say this is more about knocking rust off against a team who've had nothing but training to look forward too. ABs have a lot of changes and their rhtyhm wasn't great last week.
