Pumas v All Blacks

[Tim]

@mokey It's definitely been a big step up.

[African Monkey]

Oh well, it looks like it will be a repeat of last years performance.

[taniwharugby]

Some hard borderline tackles out there

[Stockcar86]

WTF is the assistant referee taking about repeated infringements. Its the ref's job to manage that

[Stargazer]

Read will get a yellow. Hope they also look at the neck roll on Read immediately after.

[Mokey]

Ah, Read. Just fucking stupid.

I hope those who give DMac shit every single game have the grace to acknowledge that he has played exceptionally well today.

I give Dmac heaps of sh*t but he has played great today. Difference in this game compared to others is that the things he is doing right is completely outweighing the things he is doing wrong.

Didn't Peyper say that?

[taniwharugby]

@stockcar86 only thing I can think of was Crockett and Romano also hit high in the lead up

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 After the AR said it first.

From memory his debut was against Argentina where he looked hopelessly out of his depth. He's come a long way since then to be fair.

Was it his starting debut against Italy? Worst starting debut by an All Black I've seen.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

ALB been a handful this game. Very tough to put down.

[taniwharugby]

Their halfback needs a good punch in the face

Yeah, could be, it was against a team in blue I think and in true Fern fashion I cannot be arsed looking it up.

[Stargazer]

Nothing wrong with Romano's tackle.

[taniwharugby]

He lost that...

[Anonymous]

How can you blow time off, ask players to move, then say you see it on the ground after a minute?

[Donsteppa]

What is it about second halves in Buenos Aires?

By the end of it we’ll be so sour and grumpy that every TSF historical battleground will be resurrected...

[Stargazer]

WTF he awards the try

[Stockcar86]

Can someone explain to me how the ref can say the ball is grounded when he only sees it after he blows the whistle. Surely play is over then. If he saw it before that, he would have awarded a try?
