Difficult to single out individual players from the Pumas… all are playing really, really well!
Seems like am missing a very good game
Bakkies Botha ready to come on… and he’s on… he and Matfield re-united for a last time
Has 22 Gabriel Ascarate come on yet for Pumas, normally plays in centre?
62 @ Bullscot:
I think you are, yes!
13 Minutes to go
Tighthead by the Pumas
@ grootblousmile:
Lekker man you have to try and take a picture from your TV of them together on the field at some point, not sure what has happened to it but I got one the last time they were together at Murrayfield singing the national anthem. Brothers in arms, what a great duo they have been over the years.
Cordero gets his hat-trick try!
TMO
Foot out?
No try, he’s out
I’ve watched a great many Argentinian sides over the years. This is the best side I’ve seen. Great front row. Good lineout. Outstanding back row. And a backline the envy of the world. What’s not to like.
Nice break by Lambie… no support
Pumas scrum, just on their own side of halfway
Forward pass by the Pumas, otherwise there was trouble again….
waht a shame. That looked very good. Try was on.
7 Minutes to go in the game
Try by the tank, Nemani Nadolo, BaaBaas!
the BaaBaas all-star backline being outplayed. And then they score. Talk about the commentator’s curse.
Los Pumas 42 / 26 Barbarians
Less than 5 minutes to go
Come on, 1 more try… either way… it’ll just cap off a lekker game!
Nadolo is a brute. He’ll run right through you Jonah Lomu style. Just not quite as good.
Try Nicolas Sanchez, Los Pumassssss!
At this stage I don’t think many of our SR teams will even challenge this Argie team.
this is a hiding. Mike Cheka you met your match and then some.
Los Pumas 49 / 26 Barbarians
it almost feels unfair lol
who is going to argue with me? any takers? The Argie backline is the best in the world right now.
Try Victor Matfield… ag lekker man!

All Blacks are (or was this year) just maybe a little better…
