All Blacks vs Pumas I

[nostrildamus]

Injuries? Akira? He might be due for a rest anyway...

[kev]

Blah finish. The good thing in the first 50 was the direct attack, and patience. Really wore the Argies down. Lost lost a bit of that.

[Old Samurai Jack]

About as dominant a performance as I have ever seen without the points being piled on.

@nzzp last couple of years

[Tordah]

I think that was the first game I've seen TJP play without a shit pass all night. He was much better than I anticipated

[chimoaus]

Who in the squad hasn't had a run?

[Bones]

@bones pretty sure those were his only off throws. A work on yes but he’s been superb everywhere else.

Eh? Even if they were his only off throws, it's not like Argentina are a lineout powerhouse. Those are very crucial throws in tighter test matches.

Patrick?

[sparky]

Good stuff. Hats off to Foster and the coaches.

Lots of positives. BB and Brodie are back. Jacobson making strides forward. Defence a lot better.

But Bridge is a long way off Test level on the Wing.

[African Monkey]

@chimoaus Ennor but he's always injured anyway.

[nostrildamus]

@chimoaus Ennor? oh beaten to it. Possibly Sotutu's turn off the bench?

[chimoaus]

Are Ofa and Finlay there also?

[Kirwan]

Just play him at wing so we can fuck off bridge.

[chimoaus]

Fuck me did you see Fafs hair, looks like a Wella Woman right there.

Um, in NZ Dane, mo'unga, Whitelock, and Smith. Frizzle?

In Oz Patty T, Sotutu, ofa, Christie, that's it, I think. Oh Ennor?

[African Monkey]

@kirwan Oh come on now, did you see that try Caleb Ralph nearly scored in the corner? An amazing effort!

[Tim]

@chimoaus Think Ofa Tuunugasi is supposed to be available for the next game. Think Christie is touring too. Not sure when available.

I thought Ofa was 1st Boks test.

Was great to see Moody back out there. Give him the start next week.

You’re saying this like it’s some startling revelation.

[chimoaus]

So next week we might see, Patty T, Ennor, Sotutu, Ofa and Finlay and De Groot.
