The thing about Carter is how easy he makes it look. Just ambles around the field at times, timing everything beautifully and not exerting himself. Closest player to him right now is still Nick Evans.

Would suit if they couldn't get the lights back on and voided this game.Bit of a long shot I know

Did you sell your tries in the end Stewards?

By:
No Vis,stuck with my orignal

This could be a real issue here if it is a general problem in the area, not just the ground.
|
|
By:
no should be fine, coming back on slowly it seems
|
|
By:
just give them all miners helmets and get on with it imo
|
|
By:
yes so I see
|
|
By:
Going to be tough for both players after this delay, but particularly for Arg to stay mentally focused. So often we see teams keep it tight against NZ in the first half, but then can't hold out for five mins of the second.
|

By:
Should be some good old fashioned up and unders from Argentina now. Wouldn't fancy Dagg's job in the second half.
|
|
By:
poitre is at fault for this scrum whys he delaying the engage call longer than he should waiting for them to go early?!?!
|
|
By:
how can the ref warn it will be a pen "next time???" it is either a pen or it isn't ffs
|
|
By:
If you stab grubbers through, don't let them run it back down a 1 yard channel!!
Very odd for both teams to replace a back-row pretty much at half-time. |
|
By:
never went forward!

By:
Love Justin Marshall as a commentator. Makes a change from the usual one-eyed chumps we get.
|
|
By:
joke decision again
|
|
By:
not having to think too much about tactics here is certainly helping the NZ players
|
|
By:
That was a ridiculously harsh call. First man in and was on his feet until he got the ball.
|
|
By:
Albacete was there, over the ball, NZ player hanging on to it. Equals a NZ pen, obviously.
|
|
By:
Offloading 3 yards out. Absolutely mental from NZ.
|
|
By:
Wtf was Nonu up to there?!
|
|
By:
Huge miss as it's nigh on impossible seeing Arg scoring a try here.
|
|
By:
can't afford to miss chances like that, poor effort |
|
By:
Would be a bizarre result if we get to the end and NZ have won without scoring a try.....
|
|
By:
ive jumped ship now at 1.07..you cant miss kicks like that and win games
|
|
By:
was the card for the knock on??? seems harsh if it was
|
|
By:
Hell of a hit on Romano. NZ still can't get over the line.
|
|
By:
Good yellow card to get. Saved a certain try and worth the gamble for his team.
Who made the hit on Romano before that though? BOFF! |
|
By:
ok on seeing replay it looked quite bad
![]() |
|
By:
Another enormous hit!

By:
Isn't Romano something like 18 stone? He built up a head of steam but was just knocked dead in his tracks!
|
|
By:
was a deliberate knock on ... not an early tackle imo
|
|
By:
Yes, was a clear yellow for me. He nearly managed to knock it backwards though, which would have been a hell of an effort. All came from a messy scrum early on.
|
|
By:
powers go 30/1 handicap draw minus 11... that's a bet imo
|
|
By:
You've got to love how NZ arrowing straight down at a ruck is fine, but Argentina doing it is a pen.
|
|
By:
BAH. Really need NZ to have gone closer to the posts. Cruden can't kick from straight in front, not got a hope from wide out.
|
|
By:
Said Conrad Smith was good for 10 points earlier, but 5/7 and a guaranteed victory is just as good.
Why did Camacho come off his wing? They were properly numbered up! |
|
By:
that's the way to use the extra man. i wish some of our players would watch how NZ just use short passes through the hands rather than the pointless loopy long missed passes they always seem try. plus they make sure they use the man outside
|
|
By:
It's a bit of a weird tactic NZ use, getting their locks to pass the ball on in midfield. They don't commit anyone because you can see a lock forward lining up to pass from 15 seconds earlier. Just lets the defence come up.
