So good. That was a fun game to watch.

I was so gutted when I went to their Shield challenge in Napier and they played so badly, but they more than redeemed themselves last night.

Argentina's at nearly 3 dollars to win.

Dreams of a home final for Northland are slipping away. Hawke's Bay well ahead, and they're going to be bloody hard to beat in the final at McLean Park.

Bookies really dont rate Argentina here

 

[BoyBrumby]

I just wonder what last weekend took out of the Pumas.

Tackled like Trojans all game and the Wobblies have had a week's extra recovery.

 

[BoyBrumby]

If Pataia's got that down he's a magician.

Ooo. No cigar. Foot on dead ball line.

 

[DriveClub]

Think refs are a bit too harsh on the pumas

 

[Spark]

All got a bit catty towards the end there.

Lack of discipline killing the Wallabies here. Tenacious from Argentina but you won’t win games at this level butchering opportunities so regularly.

This is the most boring game ever

Think it's one that it's the closeness of the score rather than the quality of the play that keeps one watching.

"One for the purists", as the old cliche goes.

This is pretty low grade stuff here.

Hope there's a flourish at the end

The replacement scrumhalf seriously needs to work on their kicking game

 

[Spark]

Horrible decision to go for the grubber kick there.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Like kissing your sister and all that.

Probably just about fair; Argies didn't deserve to lose and the Wobblies didn't really deserve to win.

Kicking flourish at the end, pumas could have had that try in the end with bit more luck

Yeah, but he looked the man most likely to pull off a moment of magic all game.

Sometimes forget he's still only about 12.

 

[ripper868]

Horrid game that was. Wallabies not able to finish, Argentina not able to mount much to threaten. Wallabies should have scored 2 or 3 tries in first half but just couldnt execute (partly due to Argie defence, but mainly due to own ineptness).

Draw a fair result, wouldnt have minded if Arge tina got the chocolates tbh
