The Silver Fern

Even for NH rugby, I feel like that was alot of box kicks in the first 10 mins

Ireland's sub halfback making a huge difference

Wallabies looking decent.
Suaalii looking like he has all the time out there with ball in hand.

Wake the fuck up

I feel this team has some momentum in the right direction, finally. So let's use this opportunity to keep building our combinations even if its Italy. Especially at halfback. I would be annoyed if TJ etc gets a spot. Roigard has played sweet fuck all rugby and Ratima has been not great the past couple of tests.

We're being cheated out of this

Keep a healthy lead, and this game is made for DMac to tear up to put it away

Anyone listening to the commentators on DAZN? Definitely been drinking prior to kick off

What is DAZN?

Sports streaming service - pretty big globally. They have the rights for the autumn internationals for some countries, including Canada

That no look from Williams, delicious

@MiketheSnow said in Ireland v Argentina:

Safe to say Ireland were rusty last week , Argentina are rusty so far this week

True to some degree. But Ireland don't have the same domination in contact like they used to.

Our best recent performances have been against Ireland. We look in control. Some may say we're in their head. #loveyoureiko

How good was Tosi

This. I was packing it when he came on and there were a bunch of scrums. he was massive.

And Patty, he provided so much impact

This fucking team, no other team can either destroy or make my weekend. We were shit but I'm enjoying my weekend!

Bring on Roigard and Dmac now please

BB can't execute a kick to the corner, instead kicks it dead
