[2016 Rugby Championship] Argentina vs New Zealand (02/10/2016)

[KeyboardWorrier]

Well it kind of sucks when a game goes like this.

 

[Aristodemus]

Oh dear haha

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Can you imagine any other Hooker doing what Coles does?

Brits and Thacker

 

[Superalexmarket]

And 40 min left...damn

 

[GoTheNaki]

............and........... What? 10 minute flourish, all over? Maybe..

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

Not to rub it in, but given how strong the ABs finish this could be a rather spectacular point difference.

/captain obvious

 

[Dark Horse]

Something has to be done to make the schedule fairer. I mean the All Blacks have pretty much been at home for the last month or so whilst the Argies have to jet around the Southern Hemisphere. It's one thing expanding the comp but give the new team a fair shot.

Chau gente me voy a ver a racing

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

last five minutes or so just showed that you cannot make mistakes against the All Blacks... they capitalize on everything, is something quite beautiful to watch

what? ?? this has nothing to do with traveling.. this is simply incompetence. that ball from the line out 5mts from the in goal has nothing to do with the distance traveled..

Apart from the distance travelled by the ball was too far.

The way the ABs don't simply flop down into contact but always drive forwards, recycle quickly and offload... It's something other teams could really learn from. You just do not see this in the NH as the game is all about constantly slowing things down.

oh my abs are trearing an extra ass hole in the pumas butt

ok Mc kenzie in: something interesting to see..

ohh man this is too much

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

Should not be tackling AB player without ball.

Statistically the ABs perform better with one man down. Will be interesting to see how they go now.

I'm sorry but striking someone in the head is a straight red

 

[Gavin]

I'm sorry but striking someone in the head is a straight red

For any other nation, yes.

Though I thought it looked more like a slap

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

I'm sorry but striking someone in the head is a straight red

Nope. As per Rugby Regulation section 5.1.2: Not if they deserved it.

 

[petite]

straight red for the abs haha

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Er is that even a thing? That if you start high put pull a player down slightly low you only get a penalty against you? Never heard that before.

 

[petite]

it takes so much to score a try to the abs

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

So an AB knocks the ball on by handling in the ruck and then Whitelock, who was offside, gets the ball -.-
