NZ Under 20 v Argentina
-
Geez I have caught the last 10 minutes. Hasn't been pretty, culminating in a NZ yellow card.
-
Dominant scrum from NZ, but Argies get the ball out in time.
Tip tackle, with our no. 7 the main tackler; Bell involved, too, but pulled out.
Argie player lands on his hands, but ref says shoulder.Our no. 7 sent to the bin with a yellow. Lucky, with other refs it could have been more.
Argie 10 kicks the penalty and its 6 all.
5 minutes to go in this half.
-
And we quickly knock it on. Disappointing rugby so far from us.
-
I hate to.whinge about reffing, but we have been pinged big time since I have been watching. Argies going off their feet but get the penalty.

We played well in the first 20 min but it’s gotten scrappy now.

Yep we dominated the scrum twice and got penalised as the Argies were being shunted back at 100 miles an hour.

Hotham and Cashmore are good players, but one criticism I have is that too often they try to go for a run themselves in situations where it is better to pass to a team mate.
Bell has been good again. The props have had their moments, but I liked the backrow from the Fiji game better.
Not convinced by our midfield either.
Godfrey has been very good, but I'd like to see him at 10 in the game against the Aussies.

I stop watching for a bit and we score a try leading in to half time. You are welcome.
