[RWC2023 SF1] Argentina vs New Zealand (20/10/2023)

[McTallshort]

That was harsh!

 

[corny]

Ref is doing his best for NZ into the bargain.

 

[AlRums]

That was harsh!

 

[Herman the German]

This is gonna end up in another Tier 1 / 2 ref decision discussion.

 

[General Melchett]

Gardner following orders from top brass at WR who have already decided who will be in the final

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

If only Wayne Barnes or luke Pearce could referee a game this smoothly

 

[Yulia]

Haha Barret's face

I did find it weird people were putting them in a tier below France, South Africa, and Ireland.

To me all four of those teams are pretty much on par with each other.

The ABs got destroyed by the Boks before the RWC and were toothless for about 79 mins against France. Ireland defeated Boks and smothered France this year.

Add in Foster's NZ losing twice to these Pumas and only winning by 3 at home to the Wallabies two months ago and the logic was completely solid.

In the end it's only a question of the winning margin, even the ref could barely help Argentina win this.

Jesus. Amateur hour on a semi

Keep wailing LOL. Argentina seem to run out of ideas after several phases - just like Ireland.

 

[AlRums]

If the ball was touched in flight how can it go out on the full?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Karl Dickson + angus Gardner happy hour

 

[Yulia]

I didn't even bother turning it on.

Very predictable New Zealand were going to be comfortable winners.

Well, I hoped to see something..at least...more impressive than this.

 

[Ospervat]

Some harsh decisions against Argentina so far.
Also not really getting any rub of the green.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

What I would give for England to have this NZ backline

and their pack
and their bench

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Montoya is prob my Fav captain in the competition TBH he has that right level of zest but ability to back it up

And the haka. Just imagine Farell and Marler performing some line dance as an English version.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Come on Pumas, ABs have been giving a wee invite back into the match these past 10mins.

This is gonna end up in another Tier 1 / 2 ref decision discussion.

Which one is tier 2?
