          First time Cheika has named an unchanged starting XV. In about 44 Tests they tell me.

            @stargazer It bugs me that Alemanno doesn't have a first name starting with P.

              it bugs me that only 23 got named. What the hell kind of mind games is Cheika playing at?

                      Nobody interested in this game, it seems?
                      13-13 at half-time
                      Aussie commentator, I honestly can't tell the difference between them - so fuck-knows which one, referring to Creevy as "Cravy", presumably in some weird over-compensation for his accent.

                        Why do you seemed surprised? Have you never heard them mangle Polynesian and Melanesian names before? 😉

                          All our commentators can't even pronounce his first name correctly either.

                            Oh - certainly, it's not like the kiwi accent isn't a beautiful cringe-worthy thing, or that our commentators don't fuck up as much.
                            Just this particular case - all game, it's been very, very obvious. And... chance to take the piss out of an aussie accent, never pass it up - ever since my first day in Melbourne and 2 young girls insisted I say "fush n chups" for them. Bitches.

                              I thought the Argies scored on half time? Obviously was disallowed, was anyone watching to let me know why?

                                Cravy knocked on picking up the ball fairly early in the piece

                                  Just tuned in. That was a great try from Gonzalez Iglesias. 20 all in the 58th minute. An Argie player now knocked out. Can't see anything wrong with the tackle that caused it.

                                    Hmm, maybe shoulder to face, but accidental.

                                        Gotta love the referee, assistant ref, TMO, and team captain all with different first-languages.
                                        Oh, and Peyper - what's the jaapie for "fuck up, and fuck off"?

                                              Clear forward pass. Try should be disallowed.

                                                Jeez we look good sometimes at rugby. And then we look shit.

                                                Thankfully, tissue were playing Argentina.

                                                  From memory:
                                                  if it's accidental, penalty;
                                                  if it's reckless or worse, yellow or red.

                                                    Looked more like the blue player headbutted the yellow players shoulder thus it was he who should have been in danger of being carded for the foul play headbutt rather than the other way round.
