Very happy. Such a weird game.

Tomi Albornoz for the win

I don't like him very much. I think we need another fly half for the next test matches.

Congratulations to Argentina. For the first time ever, they have won a match against each of their Rugby Championship opponents in the same tournament.

he didn't have a good game, true
he needs to get out of benetton and into one of the relevant teams, he's not used to playing important games and it shows

[Al Bangor]

Congratulations Los Pumas!

Man that 'penalty' to the Springboks which should have handed them the game was peak clown world stuff. Glad justice prevailed.

I think Libbok is done. Pollard gets better under pressure, Libbok gets worse.

You can't rely on Libbok to perform in pressure situations, the Rugby World Cup Knock-Outs are the ultimate pressure situation.

Pollard's defense is a liability. I said a few weeks ago, it's Sacha for the next four years.

Great game - think this highlights a couple of things (I'm repeating myself)
1. This whole New Zealand vs South Africa (let's play eachother a million times is ridiculous)
2. South America has the potential to be a hot bed of rugby, Scotland forged the way playing Uruguay and Chile in the summer - long may this continue
3. It would be good to see an Argentinian team back in super rugby

If I understand it correctly, there's a mathematical chance that Argentina could win the Championship. It's extremely unlikely, but who would have predicted that at the beginning of the tournament?

19 point win and score 3 more tries than the boks

What they need to do is win against us, get a bonus point and prevent us from getting a bonus point. The deciding factors are 1) number of wins 2) head to head wins and then 3) points difference. So if they win by 8 points and have 3 tries more than us, then they win the TRC.

Brilliant win for Argentina, they played some scintillating rugby. Their second try especially was a magnificent set play. Looked like the kind of dynamic attack moves Eddie Jones was trying to implement with England before they sacked him.
