[QUOTE="Canucks, post: 455331, member: 43938"] I think this game will be much closer than a lot of people think. Having just watched the All Blacks vs Canada, a lot of their tries against us came from handling errors and missed tackles. Those 2 things Argentina outclass Canada at. Pumas play hard from 1-22, everyone hits, everyone contests every breakdown hard, and everyone looks like they'd quite happily run into front of a car (Kaino) to slow it down. They also have some experience in 11/14/15 which Canada started 3 23 year olds at quite literally gave about 5 tries away with little errors or misreads. That being said, where Argentina falters, especially with the current injuries, is on the attack. There was little to no attack against Scotland, England and to a lesser degree Georgia. I do expect the All Blacks to eventually break down Argentina but it will be hard fought game until that point. I expect 30-40 for ABs with a few kicks for Argentina (depends on the health of Contepomi.) In terms of the ABs, Weepu looked way more dangerous than Slade. You look at Slade, you see someone with a lot of pressure on him. You look at Weepu you someone who hasn't shaved in a week and looks hungry. Guildford is a finisher but not a game breaker. The one people should talk about SBW who can change a game by himself. That grubber he gave Guildford for a try was excellent. His other 3 tries were a handling error, a defensive misread and another nice set up by Slade. It's the All Blacks, it really doesn't matter who starts on wing. [/QUOTE]
