    Jesus WTF am I seeing

    All Blacks 15- Argentina 25

    Massive win for Argentina and what happened to the All Blacks ?

    The rugby gods will now curse Argentina with 2 years of frustration and inconsistency, as is traditional.

    Amazon Prime only have the rights for the UK, so their coverage is geo-restricted to UK based Amazon accounts.
    Irish Amazon accounts can't access it, no matter how creative you get with vpn and the like.
    There's more detail on this over in the general Nations Cup thread.

    You simply get on live chat to Amazon and tell them that you live in the UK. I can watch it fine.

    First chance to comment on the game, just got back from a MABGA rally. When the scores were 3-3 after 12 minutes, I tweeted "WE DIDN'T LOSE, STOP THE COUNT", but the points just kept coming in for Argentina. At the moment, I'm refusing to recognise the result. For starters, there weren't enough Kiwi observers at the game, so you have to think there was massive fraud involved. At this rate, I might even have to support All Black Lives Matter.

    (well done to Argentina, they were O for awesome)

    Such stamina and precision from Argentina. That lad Sanchez has a beautiful rhythm to his place-kicks. Let’s not be so surprised if we lose to them again at a future RWC.

    Do we have a relatively light scrum at the moment by international standards? I think I noticed that both NZ and the Pumas weighed in around 920 kg.

    The Rupeni one was brilliant. Really shows how things are over there and how the players are taken advantage of by agents/clubs

    Arg vs NZ should be worth a watch this weekend. Last time NZ lost 3 matches in a row was 1998. That was the season I felt like a Scottish rugby fan.

    1998 :mad::mad: What an awful year. We lost 5 in a row that year, I think. I've tried to purge it from memory.

    Enjoyed listening to this recent edition of the RTÉ Rugby Podcast. Free-ranging discussion with knowledgable guys, highly recommend a listen.
    A sample of interesting points discussed:
    Bernard talked a bit about Porter not binding well in the scrum, and made the comment that Michael Bent and Marty Moore are the best tight-head scrummagers in Ireland at the moment.
    Wes questioning the media messaging about the players enjoying their experience in training, while seemingly not preparing for the kick-chase game that England were likely to implement.
    Donal talked a bit about the need for the South African teams to join the Pro12/Pro16 as soon as possible to test the players.

    Don’t get the whole ‘so classy’ personally. It’s minimal effort for great PR for them. Same with the Dubs for the Bloody Sunday thing..

    Anyway, Argies getting battered in the scrum here.

    Argentina just haven't gotten going at all. So many small mistakes in complete contrast to previous weeks. I think there's a big difference in refereeing styles coming through watching these games. In NH they would have looked at the first NZ try and called it back for the clear attempted block by the 6(?). It didn't make any difference but would still have been penalised for it. In SH they don't even check.

    Argentina finally get some possession and it results in a couple of tries for the AB's. The pressure had to tell in the end, I guess.

    That's a red for 18 black

    Edit: Yellow? That we've seen red for those recently in test and club matches. Referee mentioned mitigating factors but there shouldn't be any in this case. Argentine planer was prone in the ground and New Zealander went straight off his feet with a forearm to the head.

    Surprised they didn't look at it more. One of the angles looked like initial contact was with the shoulder then up onto the head.

    You could almost forgive them had they missed it completely but having looked back on it and still thinking “yellow” beggars belief!
