Ditto Hodge, ditto Cooper

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Why isn't McMahon starting?

 

[TheOvalBall]

awww...nuts

 

[Every Time Ref]

Why isn't McMahon starting?

Because he's not an openside flanker, obviously

 

[bjarg]

Argentina defense looking so weak today.

Herrera... no entiendo como este gordo pelotudo sigue jugando en los pumas.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How many does this stadium hold?
16k and change for international attendance is terrible!

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Second nice inside pass from Cooper resulting in a try. You'd like to think the Pumas wouldn't be fooled twice though. Looks like they have run out of energy again this week.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Quade being Quade

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

He has a good game then he does something a little poor like that. Cooper hard to work out.

 

[marianodan]

Herrera is a giant turd. I don't see one virtue in his game, he's just not up to international standards.

Nothing hard about it. He's a pelotudo.

(Dumbass, basically. Thanks to bjarg for the education)

Not only he doesnt have any virtues, he is a liability.
Knock ons, handling mistakes, bad passes, stupid penalties, stupid yellows... I just cant understand the reasons why he keeps getting called.

los jaguares are back!

 

[TheOvalBall]

los jaguares are back!

they are ? they lost.

 

[petite]

jaja no man the jaguares. ****ty mistake/unforced errors are back

 

[Superalexmarket]

I always tought that Cubelli was a better scrum half than Landajo. I was completly wrong.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

A decent match, but a bit disappointing from the Pumas after gradual improvement in the past few matches. The new Oz players seem to be bedding in quite nicely so they maybe have more hope for the future than their poor SR form suggested.

Can't believe a third Oz vs NZ match is arranged for after the RC. That's as bad a fixture as the extra England vs Wales game earlier this year. Who wants to watch that? I hope these sort of crummy fixtures go away and are replaced either with rest, or with playing top Tier 2 sides instead.

 

[petite]

ok I'm switching to the Davies cup. the all blacks beating everybody by 30 is boring.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Travelling half the world week after week makes for a gruelling itinerary and the Pumas cannot be expected to back up high quality efforts week after week on the road.
They played hard against the AB's last week and it took a lot out of them then they had to pack their bags and head to the west island for another trot out.
It's a big ask and I don't think the last games have done anything to tarnish the Pumas achievements this year.
The Boks however have work to do before they host the AB's back in the republic.
Aussie are on the way back, 2 from 2 and everything seems so much rosier.
Cant think why the AB's have to play Aussie again before we have a break and then head north to Chicago

 

[RoosTah]

Wallabies still giving away far too many penalties, not competing like a test side at the breakdown and our tactical is still ****, but with the ball in hand we weren't too bad and the Argies were very ordinary tonight

Isn't it a Bledisloe match ? Bledisloe are always 3 matches right?

 

[The Jones Boy]

Aussies have huge talent in their back line and playing with the ball in hand comes naturally to them.
I think Cheika has made the right call to bring Qyade Cooper back into the side.

The Bleddy's a joke.
When Aussie finally won it 20 odd years ago under the great John Eales the ARU changed the rules to make it harder for us to win it back, just so Australian really, right up there with under arm bowling, so when we won it back a few years later they immediately said that we should change it back to how it was to which we replied, we'll change it back after we have held it for as many years you have had it since you changed the rules to make it harder to win. Then we'll change it back. It's been a long time between drinks for Oz.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

*winces!*

 

[CocoPampas]

Congrats Australia! (Although we really help you this time)

Horrible first 15 minutes for the Pumas. And then we were unable push back harder enough when Oz gave us the oportunity.
One more time its completely clear our lack of depth.
Also, I think that Australia's game plan is the one that made the Pumas feel more unconfortable.

 

[Jaguares]

He's a better impact player, not a better player

Wasn't that comment from Henry?

To be fair, I reckon the Connolly era Wallabies were definitely the worst
