Looks like 6-2 split.

Argies hold the cards

They turn up like they did in NZ game 1, they win

They turn up like game 2, they lose

[pakman]

@MiketheSnow Pumas have named a team which is stronger than their first test team.

Sometimes it's not about the people on the pitch it's about the game inside their minds

[Bovidae]

Creevy's final game for the Pumas.

The state of the pitch

Cowfield

Oops, that was an U20 feed

[Mattasaurus]

Pumas defensive line must be right on the edge of offside...

[LABCAT]

Man, not liking this camera angle, feels to high.

[Duluth]

Argies 13-7 at HT

[Duluth]

That was better by the Aussies. Lots of one off runners but they did it with fast ball

Argies 16-14 after 51mins

[Duluth]

Aussies might steal it in the last couple of minutes

[Duluth]

And there it is. A penalty for the lead. Time almost up

Surprised they didn’t set for the drop goal before that

[Duluth]

Aus win 20-19

Confusing chat from the ref about whether there would be a kick off

[NTA]

@Duluth Doleman generally had a good game but a couple of times he was rabbit in the headlights

Just caught the end of the 10 minute highlights and they didn't show much of that phase, or a replay, but my first thoughts on seeing them camped under the posts was why weren't they setting for a droppie.

DID NOT SEE THAT COMING

And if Loelesi could kick it would have been easier

Argies look much better when they play 15 man rugby

Argies tried to shut up shop and it put too much pressure on their pack.

Solid win by the Wallabies in what was a very stop start game.

Schmidt debutante watch: Hamish Stewart who seems to have been around for ages gets test footy under Schmidt. That’s 13 debutantes this year for the Wallabies.

Loelesi is a handbrake

Time to throw Lynagh into the Lion’s Den

Then the Lions series
