No tries. If you like 3 pointers then this was your night.

To other things. Cant wait to see the stats. The territory must have been appallingly against us.
The bright side, if there is one, is that a sign of maturity/composure i look for in the teams i support is them being able to win (or not to lose) when they play bad. We did that.

He is **** and only selected due to injuries.
That said, seemed to me the Argie went down im both of those scrums first (certainly no scrum expert).
I agree, Los Pumas looked very composed in that second half. Three way tie for first place. Good job Argentina!

Thought the Wallabies were clearly dominant and let the Argies get under their skin. Showed no composure and made terrible decisions.

I think they had the potential to be...but just had too many handling errors and didn’t build enough pressure to really be dominant

I
see you trying to jinx us
I'm sticking with Argentina. I like their resiliency. They were down, but didn't give up tonight. That positive energy will carryover. Go Los Pumas!
I didn't see the hair pulling incident. There was so much pushing and shoving going on all game long.

Yeah they’ve been poor when under pressure in every game this year.
All these teams are lagging behind the northern hemisphere
thought the yellow card was harsh, not just because I saw a clear release so it shouldn’t have been a penalty but also because hooper talked the ref into that one with his complaining after the Warning. The ref didn’t tell the pumas that the next one would be a card, he said if it continues there will be a card, to me that sounds more like you’d need more than one penalty.

That was a poor game of rugby. Argentina were just cheap-shot merchants all game and the Wallabies were also petulant and retaliated. Very little good rugby was played. Very disappointing fayre. Both teams were gifted the chance to win a trophy and they’ve handed it to the All Blacks on a plate. I don’t see the Pumas coming within 25 points of NZ next week. I think it will be a similar result to Bledisloe 3 in Sydney. The ABs will get a bonus point and put it out of reach.

Yeah,
Chris Ashton got a 4 week ban, a number of years ago, for it
Stats are out.
We had 37% of possession and spent only 2,1% of the time in Australia's 22%. I can't recall the last time something like that has happened to us. Just to use as a benchmark, our game against Eng in last years world cup (quite a pounding, we played most of the game with 14 men), we had 41% possession.
I think if Aus would have taken the points more as opposed to going to the line they might have very well torn us a new one.

Each side was 5 out of 6 with their kicks. Not the most exciting match, but it's a three way tie for first. You're still in it Argentina. I hope you win!

That match proved Hooper is the worst Captain in world rugby.
80 mins, no tries, all NH be like
Are you kidding me? 80 mins, not a single try, all penalties.... All the NHers be like
Not all of us NHers. The match wasn't exciting, but it was interesting enough to keep me watching. And I'm glad Los Pumas didn't lose.

So many penalties in the first half and no cards ? Weird.
It was a joke. There might a bit of shoulder on that chip of yours.

Argies get a warning after 7 penalties, Aus 1.
But **** blaming the ref. This was all Hoopers fault. Take the points on offer in test rugby. Tale as old as time.
Yes I know, that's why I clicked the Like button. I'm cheering for your team and hope they win the title.

Disappointing result, but it was a tough old test match. World Rugby, do away with the draw please.
World rugby, please disregard TOB.
Nothing wrong with a draw when neither team manages to outscore the other
