    The series of terrible first halves for SA continues

    Yeah, they were able to turn it around against a disheartened England at home but Argentina have a significant lead and are working hard to keep them out before half time.

    Could well be the game. Argentina much more clinical.

    Big turnaround for Argentina coming from that abysmal summer test series.

    Or Maybe SA aren’t that good and England were just really abysmal.

    The absurdly premature hype train came to a somewhat crashing halt today. All Blacks will clean sweep this.

    Was that not always going to be the case. It was just the scorelines that were in question.

    A win for SA would have kept the competition interesting.

    NZ v SA is in week 4 and it looks like NZ will be playing to win the whole comp then.

    His name was actually T. But he had a stutter.

    Nehe Milner-Skudder starts as well. I really hope he goes well against Argentina. He's one of the best outside backs in the world but injury has robbed him of two seasons of his career. Love watching him play.

    You had me worried there Syd. I was thinking Triple T was in the U20s last year but he played for Munster a few years ago?!?! WTF! How did I miss that?

    But it turns out Syd took too much LSD at EP and I'm not losing my mind ðŸ˜

    Foley dropped to the bench for the Wallabies. Beale to start at 10 and Toomua in at 12.

    Was Foley the problem? I guess Cheika has to try something

    That's a massive, massive blow. He's been carrying this team at times and is their most important player in my opinion.

    That's a big advantage to South Africa and losing his quality really takes from the game unfortunately.

    Ben Smith, Laumape and Retallick all go off injured in the first 10 minutes of the game.

    All Blacks getting a really bad run of injuries here. Even before that they aren't quite holding their shape in attack.
