[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 666557, member: 57076"] my cousin was visiting tonight (finally somebody who likes Rugby in real life for me !) and we were both fully behind Argentina. When Argentina had their biggest lead at 28-16 I believe, we both joked that the Boks would of course have to win by 2 points at the end. We literally agreed by two points. the whole match from then on, we kept cracking jokes about this happening, and unbelievably, it happened. Argentinians must be absolutely...well, it must be somewhat comedic at this point. It's just surreal. Too much to say about the match, but the Pumas are *fkng incredible*. They've got balls this big. And well done South Africa coming all the way back, as inevitable as it felt they still had to go and do it in a hostile environment. Clever wheeling of the scrum at the end to avoid the certain Pumas scrum dominance and penalty... Pumas played with great intent and tried such gutsy plays, put beautiful movements together. I really do love this Pumas side, no way they should be able to do this against the second best in the world, given both sides on paper. No way. Highest respect. As for the match itself, what can I say, 60+ points scored and suspense til the end. Another classic. [B]Conrad[/B] you said earlier today you preferred the 6N, well eat your heart out. Your boys put on a fkng vintage show. I'd rather be Argentinian today than French, Rugby-wise, with guys who play with more heart than you'd think ever possible for 80 minutes with little to work with on paper, than possibly the deepest nation in the world that can't find a way to play half as well as they should.
