All Blacks vs Pumas I

[dingo]

Ben from Accounts is gold

[Billy Tell]

The decision to pull Aaron Smith was yet another masterful decision from Hansen.

[Mattasaurus]

Ben Smith is lovely to watch

[Tordah]

Ben Smith with his wonky Cullen impression there

[Stargazer]

Glad Benny scored that try, because Dagg had 100s of metres of free space to score it.

[No Quarter]

That was a Cullen-type try from BFA, outstanding.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Damn he's brilliant. A great night for the skinny white boy fanboys

[dingo]

Oz will have watched this and noted how the Pumas have slowed down in the later part of this half. They'll want to avoid being run over in the first half and really run the Pumas around with a view to scoring in the second half.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

TJ has looked sharp. If he can finally avoid being monumentally flaky he's a far better option than TKB. That's a big if though.

I doubt the Wallabies could do that - if they let the Pumas have a sniff they'll run all over them.

Despite the scoreline the Pumas have played better rugby that the Wallabies managed in two tests.

[Tordah]

HAHAHHAHAHAH

[Stargazer]

Haha, awesome. Cruden kicks, Dagg plays volleyball and Romano scores a try.

[Mattasaurus]

Angus Gardenar best in the business....

[MN5]

What the fuck is up with Romanos try scoring celebration ?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

The fuck Dagg? You chest bump after the try not before.

[Tordah]

that was poor by Cruden, he needs to stop these slow steps back somehow

[Stargazer]

I'd like to see Dagg getting a few opportunities to kick for goal from more difficult angles, just to see if he can do it. Barrett and Cruden too many missed kicks.

[pakman]

Barratt Crotty combo really looking good. Think Crotty's guidance adds finishing touch to game management. Fekitoa also seeming a lot more composed.

[dingo]

I really enjoyed that.

Somewhat gobsmacked the ABs won by so much after the first 50 minutes. Pumas need to work on their fitness.

Seemed some real respect out there with both sides helping each other up etc. despite smashing each other about.

Two cynical penalties in a row on their own line. I've seen YCs given for much less.

Yip probably 3 YCs with different ref tonight... Joubert was his haphazard normal self. epitomized by pinging the Pumas for being held in the tackle and carrying on in the 70th min......
