Argentina Two: Newcastle, 28 November

Why would they not kick for line and attack again?

[Chester Draws]

We are 10 points ahead at half time in a game where we are fielding a desperate A team and they are fielding a B team.

We are so f**cked when we next play a decent team.

Has Jordie ever bust through a tackle?

He seems to think he is the midfield's great linebreaker. I haven't seen it yet though.

[Donsteppa]

Interesting first half. Kept waiting for the points to come, but they never quite did...

[antipodean]

WTF. What happened to the penalty?

[canefan]

Watching on delay, hoping to catch up. We definitely came to play. Dominating scrums, running hard up front and varying points of attack. Side to side kicks not directly successful but sowing doubt in the Argentinian defence. Great first try on the back of sustained pressure. Great start

@sparky In all fairness he needed a kick in the ass because of a low work rate.

But guys like Frizzell was given a free pass......

Fair to say we have let them off the hook , should be more than 10-0

They're playing controlled, patient footy with minimal mistakes.

Would rather see that than a 30 point blow-out which papered over the cracks.

Once. When he was playing backyard footie versus Beauden.

(Almost got that wrong. Don't hurt me @booboo )

[kev]

They have created lots - points will come.

[Yeetyaah]

We should be winning by 2 tries by now.

[number9]

Forwards are playing well, game plan and the backs are ducking everything up.

[Tim]

Some good tackling and clean-outs. Back line attack looks pretty tepid.

[nostrildamus]

Lordie that 40m went fast!
I wouldn't take off a forward for at least the next 20 min. Maybe a back though..

So only 10-0 up but if they keep the pressure on..

[Frank]

Will Jordan on for Jordie please.

[Tordah]

Argentina had nothing but a maul. Not even defending terribly well, just OK. Somehow only 10-0. Very weird match.

Fucking agree!

[nostrildamus]

@Tim Caleb and ALB playing well.

[bayimports]

dominated that 40, but only 10 in front.., many improvements though. Actually retaining our own ball at the breakdown has been the biggest improvement in general. Shame about some weird kicking options though when maintaining pressure, just looked rushed

Good thing we got that super coach from up north.
