This match just emphasises the difference between the Abs and the rest.
15 – 9 at halftime. not worth staying up for this match.
Half-time. Wow, penalties, penalties penalties, penalties. Let’s hope for more in the second 40 minutes at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito. It’s 15-9 to the Wallabies.
Poor game . And i am insane to keep on watching.
Did you hear what Mallet had to say?
Penalties conceded ARG 9 AUS 7
@ superBul:

ARG players more used to NH refs , since they play there.
SA refs very strict and they kill off the Argies
Wobblies will finish 2nd in the RC with 3 wins to the Boks’ 2. Even with all their injuries they are still able to adapt to the circumstances unlike the Boks who just continued trying to bash their way through the Pumas.
@ superBul:
I am in Italy and don’t get Supersport. get the UK studio…
OK lets see if we can see some rugby now
2nd half ON
At least ARG got some great tackles in
A comedy of handling errors. Just a matter of who will get luckier…
the penalties have been replaced by handling errors. It’s back and forth with possession until the passage draws to a close with an away scrum near halfway.
Pathetic handling!
Nothing to learn from this match. Each team trying to outdo the other in handing the ball back to the opposition via knock ons.
they replaced the ball at halftime with a wet cake of soap, dammit this is poor
48 Leguizamon goes off for Tomas Leonardi, Nicolás Sánchez is on for Santiago Fernandez while a half-time change I missed was Benn Robinson on for James Slipper. Australia scrum on halfway. Boy there have been some errors and offences here today.
51
Tapuai loses it forward this time in midfield and Robinson does not roll away in the tackle following the scrum so Argentina kick it itno the corner as they search for a try. The throw is over the back and Hooper comes away with it. He runs into the Pumas 22 and the support arrives as they send it wide but Tapuai is brought down short of the tryline and the Wallabies go off their feet so the Pumas can clear it.
OK back to penalties
After 55 mins, The Wallabies get a kick at poles.
missed by Aus
Harris misses and the score remains 15 – 9 to Aus.
Bit of play by Arg, almost a good try
ARG 12 – 15 AUS
Higginbotham goes off his feet at the breakdown so Amorosino sets up a line-out as Hernandez is replaced by Sanchez. They go down the backline and Roncero breaks into the 22. The forwards are there in support and they are just short of the tryline. They go wide as Agulla goes for the corner but he is forced into touch. The Wallabies were offside so Bosch kicks a PENALTY to make it 15-12.
And Beale puts Ionea thru the gap to score.
Great try by AUS , Digby Ione, underv the sticks
IOANE TRY! 12-20! Just like that. First-phase ball for Australia and the Reds wing comes from the blindside to find a pass from Beale. It’s an easy run-in.
And the gap now goes to 10. Going to be hard for the Pumas to come back and win this.
Joubert not a favorite ref for the commentators, they blame him for the breakdown shambles, AUS gets away with murder according to them
Argentina do play a nice game, they run hard but somehow they just get penalized for about everything
