What a bullshit penalty. Flipped him over lol
 
This is such an odd game. Argentina running away with it mostly on the back of some freak errors by the Aussies
 
idk how the coms are complaining about that penalty. Turning into the guy who just kicked the ball is not a natural continuation of that motion. Lucky the kick was so **** or it would be a yellow.
 
Australia are a mess,
3 on 1 and he just throws a wild miss pass offload into touch
 
Argentina definitely the better team on the day and they certainly have showed they can compete with anyone right now but the wallabies should be ashamed of that effort.

Being in the right place is combination of hard work and skill so hats off to Argentina.
 
I wish Argentina would play like this on their NH tours. They consistently pull off some big results in TRC but they never really pitch up up north. I always worry about our Argentina games, but over the years on the forum I've gotten the sense it's just an expected walkover in Autumn from the NH (and sadly it often is. Not a smashing always, but just consistent wins).

Massive result here after last weekend. Completely outplayed Australia and makes the rest of the tournament very interesting. Kicking game worked well with great chasers. Even their phase play felt like they were making good ground most plays. Also that massive maul downfield was great to see. Hope they can keep it up going into their NZ tour.
