@Billy-Webb we have so many versatile players. Hooker is more a 13 then wing, Gazza can slot 15/12/10, SMZ 10/12/15, Kolbey 11/15, Moodie 13/14. I was hoping for vd Merwe to get a real crack, now he have to sit out for Wessels who can play 2 aswell.

@KiwiMurph
haha
yeah
they wont look so good with our coaches, and our game plan

Pumas go 6-2: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/pablo-matera-back-as-pumas-make-three-changes-for-bok-challenge/

Bok scrum looking impressive

Think this is going to be a high scorer

Comfortable penalty

Argentina passing is crisp

SA 3-3 Argentina

SA living offside

Weak TMO interference for tackle off the ball which had zero impact on the match

I don’t think they have been onside the first 20 minutes.

Matera is one of the best ball carriers in the world. Makes metres all the time.

Surprised they didn’t look at that head clash in the tackle.

Argentina's backline passing is so slow and static. Almost as if they've been coached by Scott Robertson...

I really like the Saffa commentators. No word-wank.

SA over complicating things

Dumb penalties, dumb mistakes

Carreras hits another

SA 6-9 Argentina
26 mins

Camera has clearly gone offline. Either that or the producer is pissed as a newt.

I don’t mind that at ground level camera angle isn’t too bad.

SA props doing a lot of work

SA go direct and unsurprisingly open up the Argie defence

Good team try

Chalked off

That’s fucking shit officiating

Should have been advantage

If not that then a definite YC

Penalty against Argentina?

So why no advantage?

Because he knocked it on as a result so they come back for the penalty.

SA in
Catch & drive

Pumas too upright in that maul defence

Ah, OK. Bit unfair illegal action which causes a knock-on rules out advantage. Saffas score so karma comes to the rescue.....

SA off their feet in the ruck

Carreras misses

Jesus
That’s a crazy try

SA 11-16 Argentina
35 mins

Bizarre try. But spot-on decision

Bizarre.

He has kicked it over to the poles for his kicker to take the drop out ahahahah.

@Victor-Meldrew yeah it’s a strange one but I think it’s right.

What a strange try for the Pumas. Kolbe that was way too casual.

Fucking have that you lazy Argies

Fantastic vision and skill

SA 18-16 Argentina
37 mins

Sasha is class.

Peak Beauden esque.

Turning into one weird Test match....

Wheels to burn

Jesus

Another retarded SA decision

Got to check that. Argies would’ve scored if Marx hadn’t infringed.

Boks maul defence had splintered and Marx clearly was offside and joined in the side.

Fucking hell

What a half

Argentina think they’re going in at the half 5 to the good with 20 of their points gifted to them by dumb SA play

Marx on YC for first 10 mins of second half

But SA say fuck that and score in injury time

SA 25-23 Argentina
Half time

@MiketheSnow and Marx will be only off for 5 minutes of the second half too

This must be the shitest ref in the history of rugby

@W32 said in Springboks vs Pumas I:

Because he’s not letting the Boks get away with murder at the ruck and with the offside line….

Actually I would say that he has missed several knock-ons by SA. He seems to be overwhelmed by the occasion

Fabulous

2 tries with Marx in the bin
