When will players learn that they can't play the ball off their feet?

He's pulled a groin, likely his own...

Petti isn't even close to Lavanini's level of violence

I lost count of the number of times he ran up to join in when there was some argie- bargie

Quick throw was fwd?

What a stupid time to put a grabber kick in

overlap!!! and kicks. FML

Draw seems fair.

Almost.................

Fantastic game. I love this Argie team.

Not champagne rugby, but enjoyed that. The Pumas did well to guts it out to the end there.

Argies are not going to roll over for anybody are they. Hard as farking nails those boys. Aussies blew it big time though imo. They were clueless the last 5 minutes. And how come Hooper has never learned to take the points when on offer.

IMpressed with Argentina on a couple of fronts. Of course how they fronted up again after last week. The biggest thing though seems to be their strength in depth. Not sure what would happen in Sanchez was out but they would probably have a decent replacement for him as well.

Argentina played badly, and still managed to draw. Usually in Argentina games, it's the other team you would say that about.

Feels a bit harsh for them to play 4 weeks in a row, no?

13 Jordan Petaia. Dumb and greedy.

Aussies basically dominated that match. Never looked like tearing Argentina open though. Feels like that will be a problem if they continue with Hodge at 10 - keeps them ticking over but it's all a bit slow at times.

Nah man. They made it difficult with reacting to the Pumas physical game plan. Nearly lost it in the end.

They hard not to like huh? Maybe a little limited in some departments but just rip into everything. Like you loved it proper test rugby intensity.

There's no replacing that boot though. In a game like yesterday it was invaluable, the difference between being the team being pinned back in their half and the pinner. Not his fault his captain went for the corners rather than taking the 3pts the pressure offered. Hodge's defense is underrated also. Guess JOC will have the spot when he's fit but Oz could do a lot worse as a back up.

Just catching up with the game now after my day drinking sesh in the city yesterday.

That stadium in Newcastle is seriously sexy.

yet when they faced the ABs it was the ABs 5th game in a row, so swings and roundabouts I guess

So this draw is a lifeline for the ABs who could still win the whole shebang if they get a bonus point win over the Argies next week. Amazing.
