Aso is a turnstile on defence in the midfield.
I'd be finding Thompson's phone number.
Yeah surprised by Aso even being in the picture. Laumape is already a bit of a worry on D.
Where’s Tamanivalu? Given Reiko and Crotty are out then Setu would be a good ‘just in case’ for both.

@act-crusader Seta is in Taranaki.

@act-crusader Their lineout was suprisingly I thought, and Pollards goalkicking kept the Argies in it. Marx (around the field) and De Klerk were the Boks best I thought with Le Roux and Etzebeth also playing well.
De Klerk had a shocker IMO. His passing was abysmal to say the least while his absence behind the ruck led to Matera's try. Where was he then ? He also tends to run laterally before making his pass which gave the Argies plenty of time to defend. The latter were their usual selves, being brilliant in sketches and very poor most of the time.

They're at it again. Interesting that the ABs are very comfortable with their reserves, used every one of them. But locks (especially against NH sides) don;t get much time off the bench. I wonder if that will change now that Scott Barrett has found his feet - last test BBBR and Sam did the full 80, SB came in early at 6

Missed the first half between the Pumas and Springboks, but just saw the half time score. What on earth is happening in Mendoza? Wow.
I just did the same. Go Argies! Would be great if they finally made themselves a hard ask.
I thought I had misread the score -
Score?

Argies have some confidence, running it from their ingoal, but there was one hollywood from Sanchez a while back (tackled in air) that still stops one from supporting them wholeheartedly.
Yeah, I know. I think some of that shit would disappear if they started winning though..

Is Tuculet injured at the moment?
