Yeah, they’ve taken full control now… and know how to punish sides!
Argies kick-off directly out, scrum middle spot, All Blacks ball.
34 @ Scrumdown:
Hahahaha
That TV advert was a classic!
33 @ Scrumdown:
Flok,
I think our small stadiums, like Bosman stadium here in the Panne or Boland Stadium or Outeniqua Park all have about the same capacity as this AMI stadium.
Shocker of a drop attempt by Sanchez, 22 drop in it now is.
Argentine Rugby seems to have regressed in the last 8 years.
Good touchfinder by De La Fuente.
All Blacks with a quick lineout… and they get the ball to Naholo…. and he runs past and through a number of players.
Damn, he’s a strong wing!
39 @ Scrumdown:
You mean since Rugby World Cup 2007?
I think not, that tournament was a bit of a pox for them!
Sanchez misses a penalty at goal.
Argies miss the poles attempt from half way.
Not going to get any points out of this game like that.
Richie McCaw pinged on the All Blacks 10m line, straight into the side of the ruck.
Another shot at goal
All Blacks 11 / 6 Pumas
Argies forwards are nice and abrasive, but their outside backs are not the size of the big All Blacks wingers (much like the SA wingers) and the Argies look like they could be exploited out wide.
All Blacks penalty, playing the ball on the ground, it’s close to touch on the Pumas 22.
Carter lines up for goal… let’s see if he needs a bucket in the left hand this time too!
Yip, same problem as the kick is missed to the right!
Sanchez buggers up the 22 drop in, directly out.
Richie McCaw opts for the scrum whilst his team mates try to play it quick from touch… scrum it is
Early Pumas shove, All Blacks Free Kick.
They opt to scrum again
Time is up on the clock in the 1st half
Power try by Ma’a Nonu, on the left side of the field.
All Blacks 18 / 6 Pumas
Lemoenetyd
Damn. Looks like my Superbru pick of 17 may have been too “lig in die broek”.
Geez. Half time stats are quite equal EXCEPT possession.
In fact the AB’s have had more handling errors, but lead comfortably on the board.
2ND Half ON!
Welcome to Rugby-Talk Bushy!
Come talk to us here!
Dwarslat, come talk to us too!
All Blacks penalty, Carter for goal… it’s a miss to the right again.
Darter having a shocker with the boot!
Kiwi’s maak amok!
