[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 670147, member: 57076"] just finished watching this. Just a few things: - Marcos Ayerza is the best scrummaging LH in the world, and it's not even close. Maybe best scrummager at all. The dude doesn't just win his matchup in the scrum or avoids penalties, he traverses the opposite scrum. Jannie du Plessis, busted. Owen Franks, busted. Kepu, you fat fk, I'd advise you to start looking for an amazingly, but I mean amazingly good psychotherapist, or to get some damn good life insurance. - Overall, Argentina have the best scrum in the world atm with France out of the way. Think, they don't even have Juan Figallo on the Tighthead side... - Love Creevy: the rugged, brutal hooker of old. - Argentina looked just as good as we expected, but the AB are that good. Nothing left to the imagination, everything panned out nice and clean (despite the early pis$). They're so old school: huge scrum, gritty, a bit dirty, and know how to throw the oval around and aren't afraid to. Just love em these days.
