NZ Under 20 v Argentina

[Stargazer]

Godfrey has such a big boot!

Damn, Argies turnover. Their 9 is milking a penalty and the ref falls for it.

Another kick at goal. The Argie 10 kicks and they get the lead.

6 - 9 Argentina

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.

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

[Stargazer]

Argies line-out not straight. NZ scrum.

[Stargazer]

Pick and go looking good.

Te Hiwi scores the try!

[Stargazer]

Cashmore converts.

Half time: NZ 13 - 9 Arg

[Stargazer]

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.

[Crazy Horse]

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

[Stargazer]

Bad injury to the Argie TH prop; Shoulder? His replacement is a big fatty.

[Stargazer]

Hayden Michaels back on the field.

[Stargazer]

Btw, our TH prop has been replaced at half time.

[Stargazer]

Great break from Hotham and we're back in the Argies half. Saile Lauaki seems to be a good runner for a prop.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer he’s quite similar to Alex Fidow but it looks like he can actually scrum.

[Stargazer]

NZ scrum in Argentina's 22. And ... a forward pass from Rova.

[Stargazer]

Wow, that AR gives the Argies a lot of extra metres.

[Stargazer]

Good run from Brail with a great no look pass. A few phases later, again a turnover. Sigh.

I was thinking the same. One occasion one of their props was way offside.

[Stargazer]

Another NZ lineout. Argies have stolen it, but kick the ball straight to Godfrey.

Brail off; Lakai on.

[Crazy Horse]

We seem to.be playing a game not suitable to the conditions. But Argies are scrambling/spoiling well.

[Stargazer]

The Argies have kicked the ball dead twice now.

[Stargazer]

Jamie Hannah has been subbed off. Tahlor Cahill on.
