[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 666708, member: 20956"] I tuned into this one just as Argentina scored to go 25 - 16 up, and all I could thin of was that 2nd SA vs Wales test and how SA were gonna somehow claw their way back in to the match... Argentina were a joy to watch anyway, as Ewis said they played with a hell of a lot of flair and some of the handling was superb! Not sure I agree with that fully, as the arguably the losing factor for Wales vs SA in that 2nd test (assuming you're referring to that game) came from the forwards not being able to deal with SA's annoyingly effective driving mauls in the 1st half... That period of being down to 13 men let SA right back into a game where the backs were for the most part pretty excellent. Admittedly George North, our main player who fits into the world class bracket alongside Folau and Smith seemed completely absent for the entire match, but I'm still not convinced that he was 100% ready to play after illness. Anyway I thought as a unit, the Argentine backs looked very sharp. As I said earlier, their handling was superb which led to Montero and Tuculet's tries, both of whom I was impressed with from what I saw of the live match. [/QUOTE]
