By ironically playing some dance music.

All shall bow to Amapiano eh?

This Shield challenge has been a good game. Watching it in a bar in Hastings - they're a fair bit happier after that last try.

They're actually going to do it!

Omg

ABs/Boks a real arm wrestle this first 20 minutes, crying out for a Kolbe/McKenzie to break it open at some point, the big boys just bashing the stuffing out of each other at the moment, and it's great stuff.

Well, that was a contest for sure. Not the prettiest game for sure, but still a big old battle.

Ouch to Damian McKenzie missing from 32 in front to put the abs ahead with 10 to go.
Who knows if they could of held on but from that moment everything turned pear shaped.
Bokkies again just so good at finishing off when they get close to the line and their D is D for Dynamic atm

Yep, even I was surprised he missed.

Well done Boks

Angus Bell is so critical to this wallabies team. Carries, scrums, tackles, work around the park, huge.

I think Kremer scores there, but as letter of the law, Lavanini impacts Wilson, so it has to be no try.

 

[ripper868]

Great open game this so far, both teams running when they can, maybe not always when they should, but enjoyable. Wallabies kicking themselves to have blown a 17 point lead to only be up by 3 this close to half time.

 

[ripper868]

Oh boy this has been some soft defence from the wallabies now.

Edit: also, such a lazy penalty for Gordon to give away leading up that try.

And this is an absolute carve up. Full time can't come soon enough. Argentina deserve every point they've scored.

This has been an absolute pasting

To say that the wheels fell off would be understatement of the year.

Odds of Burgey popping in here to laugh 1.15

The bargies wanted it more after last weeks loss

 

[Molehill]

That was an embarrassing capitulation. That’s not what Aussie teams do…

 

[ripper868]

2nd biggest losing margin ever (despite what Maloney was saying on comms) - most points ever conceded though.

53-8 v South Africa in 2008 is the biggest losing margin.
