[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 738022, member: 39190"] You missed the biggest one IMO; have a look at the game and focus on Argentine players going off their feet to seal their own ball and steal ours while not suporting their own weight. But we don't get the same laissez faire treatment at ruck time with Beast penalized for seasling when we were on the attack in their 22 and we get told many time to let go of the ball on the deck. It just means one team can't get any momentum going at all. ... I reread this here and I don't wnat it to come across as excuses though I suppose it invariably is. Please read it as criticism of Poite and nothing further. I see Argentina as full value for their win I really do. They can only play whats in front of them and did so brilliantly. My frustration is with the ref's 'style' of refereeing, inconsistency in doing so and our inability to adapt and numerous unfrced errors none of which come from Argentina other than the pressure they put on us if that makes any sense.
