RWC SF: All Blacks v Argentina

[akan004]

Fuck kick hits the post

[Donsteppa]

Will take that. Looking a bit flat and yet in almost complete control. Given the history of Foster coached teams having patterns of on and off weeks, this might be a very good thing…

[sparky]

Richie’s left a few points out there with poor kicking.

Fk sake put it down Shannon

Yes. Fůcker gave me heart palpitations there.

[Donsteppa]

I thought the whistle must have gone when he stopped there

Did Frizell glitch there haha. Better from Telea

That was funny.

Telea close in doing the business on some very tired Argie defenders.

Me too!

[Bones]

Gardner and his newly invented get ready to use it call is bullshit. The maul has either stopped or it hasn't.

14 tackles by Jordie Barrett in that half. None missed. Also scored a try.

13 tackles by Ethan De Groot. None missed.

Mark Telea beat six men.

Argentina just about still in it. It is important we start the second half well and don't give them a sniff.

We have looked good in attack. Most disappointing factor has been the kicking which has not been deep enough. We could have done with another conversion, as well.

[akan004]

How does Telea do it? Not the biggest or the fastest but breaks tackles at will.

[Billy Tell]

All hail King Telea, made that try!

NZ defence is great again. Disciplined and contesting every ruck. When we get the ball, Mounga is giving them kittens. Barrett is also so good at 12 because he offers not only a physical threat but also a passing and jinking threat. Tight five are doing a fab job cleaning out rucks. We got this!

Both out wide.

It’s the kicking in general play that’s the issue. It’s like the ball was put in the freezer overnight.

[sparky]

ABs have made 92% tackles. Argentina only 82%.

Drop him. He's clearly turned to shit.

[Dodge]

Real sense of inevitability about the whole thing, seems to have affected the crowd too. Obvs wouldn’t care if I was an AB fan.

How’s the atmosphere at the ground?

[booboo]

Ok. Heart rate still elevated.

Playing goodly though both sides of ball.

Nice finish to half, conversion would have been handy. (Put it down Shannon!)

Who wasn't screaming at Angus when Nuggie's kick was touched?

[kiwiinmelb]

Problem for the argies , they won’t beat us in units of 3

First try after half time massive, could be game over if it’s us

Probably good for the ABs. Have a flat week but pay no price, then get up to face the opponent in the final
