Try awarded… bit lucky
TMO, and ref awards a controversial try.
Italy 14 / 13 Pumas
Dammit and conversion missed as well and now Italy lead by just 1.
Can Italy take advantage of the extra man?
An Italy penalty or an unconverted try will now suit my Bru
Pumas penalty on halfway for a high tackle by Castrogiovanni… shot at goal
Short… Italy get away with it
Italy change their props
Their flyhalf is subbed too
Pumas kicker on target but short so the score remains the same.
Pumas also with some subs
Big Italy scrum but the penalty goes against them
Another shot at goal for the Pumas, this one closer
Pumas 16 / 14 Italy
Now I need a converted Italy try…. flok tog!
And Argies take the lead by 2
Pass out to touch by Italy, golden chance squandered
Pumas penalty, man taken out in the air??
Come on Italy, ffs!
10 Minutes to go in the match
Pumas back to 15 men
10 mins to go and Argies back to full complement.
Attacking Pumas scrum….
Pumas look like they want this one more…
115 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip, they do
Good Italy defence… but a drop goal by Sanchez… over
Pumas 19 / 14 Italy
And a great drop by the Pumas and now it’s a 5 point lead. Italy will have to go for a try.
Italy penalty, in range I think… guess they will go for the corner
Detached from the maul… Pumas scrum
