Fair play to Andy Farrell, he’s taught Duhan how to pass in a week

Freeman and Smith having a pretty poor 12min so far.

Where is Freeman standing there? No man's land.

Think Argies are actually playing pretty well.

Sharp, lots of energy - only negative is defending very narrow and giving wings space they are exploiting.

I think there's some positive signs. They are playing a bloody good team.

Pendergast has brought back the spiral kick? Fucking hell, why are commentators so consistently full of shit?

One advantage of Premier Sports and TNT is no Greenwood.
Not sure which is worse, Greenwood’s overly earnest teenage girl drama student horseshit, or Warburton’s correct but boring Colin Robinson energy draining delivery.

Greenwood is a fucking cock if you know him, so let’s pick him.

No point going back to the penalty. It's not a yellow.

Lions have a scrum in the Argentina half and they gone back for the penalty. Daft.

S4C is fine for me. Not a clue what they're saying right enough. Buts it's free and a no bullshit zone

Andy Farrell with glasses looks like the owner of a slightly dodgy builders yard inspecting a consignment.

Doubt Kinghorn and Keenan are worried about it being a 3-way battle for the test 15 shirt watching this so far.

Morgan had to win that having lost the battle with the 9 two rucks before.

If you go to S4C Clic on the web, you can choose English commentary & subtitles. Although the commentators are Irish, so you might not think it's an improvement.

The ref seems to be allowing the gap to close but yeah, there have been some poor throws too
