Commentators talking about the amazing speed of the NZ defence, helps when they are miles offside :pac:

irishman86

NZ seem to be buying into the rule that the 10 HAS to kick
Everything about Barrets kicking of a tee is just wrong

irishman86

Sanchez :cool:

Thought the clock had gone past 40 before that ball went out?

Didnt look it to me

bilston

That was some kick

Only turned on so didn't see the first half, but we've been here before, NZ will win this by 10-15 points.

bilston

Argentina needed a try there.

bilston

Creevy on Dagg.....hehehehehe

Clegg

Argentina winning by 7 and have a man advantage.

Clegg

Jesus ****ing Christ

Was the Barrett yellow just 'choose a random player for the team constantly infringing', or was it something he did?

Yeah but they needed a try there, and right on call FIfita shows ridiculous power and pace to score in the corner.

awec

Backrows shouldn't be allowed to move that fast.

irishman86

Fastest kid alive

bilston

Feck, the pace of Moody!

The game has turned in an instant here.

techdiver

Argentina nor going for 7 when they had the All Blacks on the rack was a mistake.

Clegg

That's just not fair

irishbucsfan

Fair play Argentina

Tristram

Australia and South Africa game is very messy. Mistakes all round.

So many wasted chances. Australia looking the more inventive though.

Tristram

Shocking errors throughout. Confused as to what the wallabies were trying to do at the breakdown.

Beale is class.

South Africa resurgence put on hold. Australia made plenty of chances but fluffed, SA no great shakes but did enough.

Rassie is going to make such a difference to that SA team. They have the talent, just really poorly organised.

Tristram

They were fairly well organised tonight. Would question the tactics of kicking for territory so much but not their organisation. The Wallabies on the other hand...

Del.Monte

Two good results - for the All Blacks. In case you missed it here's the unreal try by Fifita.

Genius from Aaron smith.

LuckyGent88

Ah stop beauden Barrett. Just ridiculous

bilston

That pass from Barrett...

Oh jesus that was filthy.

Erik Shin

A thing of genius

razorblunt

"the pass was forward before the tackle without the ball"
I didn't realise a forward pass advantage gives you carte blanche to commit professional fouls.

ABs get up and score a try, SA right to feel hard done by.


^^^ I had that in the wrong thread!


Unreal try, razzle dazzle.

irishman86

I thought this game would be a lot closer, Argentina only ones to put it up to them yet or at least they looked like they might win

You didn't see the second test against Australia obviously.

LuckyGent88

Absolutely ruthless. Have taken every chance they have had to get points

bilston

When NZ click everyone else should just pack up and go home.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!!

Lucy8080

" who wants it" ?

LuckyGent88

Blow it up ref.

razorblunt

Ol #14 looks like he's trying to play touch rugby, not even making himself a speed bump.

ABs are ruthless, Saffers haven't been that bad all being told.

Meh, I reckon we'd put 40 points on this All Black team tbh.

ScrubsfanChris

NZ are on fire. South Africa could be on for a spanking here.

swiwi_

How good a defender is Raymond Rhule? Just savage.

A turnstile would be green with envy.

Quintis

Rhule is just a headless chicken, my missus tackles better than him

All the more startling when the other win smashed a prop for a turnover earlier in the game.

Obviously I wasn't including Ireland in that

Lucy8080

Barrets pass was nice, but it was no bod to sexton ,with two tacklers, and johnny on the touchline, kinda pressure.

He's a good player,but he's not a great player, there,bill.

Del.Monte

Half Time and at 31-0 and it's still anybody's game.

Or Johnny nowhere near the touchline, somewhere near the 22, at the Aviva 4 years ago, kinda pressure

Bit surprised Milner Skudder was caught for his intercept. Would have expected him to have the pace to go in himself the first time and I think he misjudged where the defender was and slowed for support.

Either that or he wanted to setup that filthy backhand no look flick.

I don't even know how fast he actually is. All about the acceleration with him.

Streaker made a proper bollocks of that. No one near him and trips over himself. Worst. Streaker. Ever.

That was pretty simple in the end. Superb touch find from McKenzie in the build up.
