Raining in this match, chance for Argentina.

LuckyGent88 · 13-09-2014 11:06am

Stadium is half empty for this game. Awful attendance but might have something to do with the league game between the two Queensland sides that is on now as well.

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 11:07am

Wonderful start for Aussies. Argentina have to wake up or it'll be a long night.

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:08am

Great pass Foley, and good finish by Hooper

LuckyGent88 · 13-09-2014 11:10am

It was a certain penalty on falou but how after the Aussies have made 40 metres is that not advantage over!!

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:12am

Atrocious tackling there

thomond2006 · 13-09-2014 11:16am

What on earth was that pass?

Loafing Oaf · 13-09-2014 11:19am

Did the commentator just say somebody "plays for Leinster in the UK club competition"?

sydneybound · 13-09-2014 11:22am

I'm following this game on line delighted to see the Pumas 7-5 up.

Surprised there even playing this match in Queenlands know they can't predict NRL fixtures but to get a better crowd you'd think they'd hold it in Sydney.

wp_rathead · 13-09-2014 11:26am

Been said way to often but GAWD these Aussie commentators on Sky are arrogant individuals

Yeah, presume he meant Leicester...he's refered to the Premiership like that a couple of times though

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 11:27am

What is it with players who decide for a quick tap and go with absolutely nothing on?

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:27am

Why turn down the 3 points.

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 11:30am

And again. Penalty, Aus attack not set at all, Arg defense set very well, and he taps it.

thomond2006 · 13-09-2014 11:30am

That's two quick taps that produced nothing.

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:31am

Australia's attack not working whatsoever, yet they tap the ball again.

The Pheasant2 · 13-09-2014 11:32am

Argentina giving away penalties and possession too frivolously

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:33am

Stop playing scrum-half Fardy, some dreadful low passes.

The Pheasant2 · 13-09-2014 11:36am

Brainless waste of an opportunity

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:37am

Both sides have been poor, not a great contest.

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 11:38am

That was a real chance for Arg to take control.

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 11:39am

Christ Foley you butchered that.

P.Walnuts · 13-09-2014 11:40am

Oh lordy why no pass

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:40am

Should have offloaded. Stupid by Hooper as well.

.ak · 13-09-2014 11:42am

Comedy of errors from aus. Pumas on the ropes tho.

thomond2006 · 13-09-2014 11:42am

Perhaps should have stayed deep and put in a grubber.

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 11:44am

Argentina look very poor in this. Still, if they can reach the half only one down...

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 11:46am

Finally they take the points

thomond2006 · 13-09-2014 11:46am

They have way too many commentators, meaning they never shut up.

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 11:50am

On a dry track this one could be out of reach by now. It's a shame for Argentina that the team closest to their quality in this competition seem to match up quite well with them.

Australian set piece going really well.

The Pheasant2 · 13-09-2014 11:50am

Fairly poor display from both sides - we should definitely be targeting a win vs Aus in the Autumn

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 12:06pm

Such a lucky try for Australia, suppose it cancels out Montero's try.

Argentina look really poor. No idea what to do with the ball.

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 12:07pm

A Poacher's try

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 12:09pm

Going for goal there lacks ambition for me. It's 3 penalties or 1 try to get within a score.

razorblunt · 13-09-2014 12:13pm

Argentina are offering nothing going forward, going through the motions.

matthew8 · 13-09-2014 12:25pm

Great from Foley and Phipps. Fantastic try.

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 12:25pm

Great play Phipps

Dave_The_Sheep · 13-09-2014 12:37pm

Try from this 5m, and it's game most definitely on.

[edit] RESULT!

thomond2006 · 13-09-2014 12:38pm

Oh wow

Superb grubber

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 12:39pm

Australia are dreadful

thomond2006 · 13-09-2014 12:40pm

Ah here they've handed three right back.

Dave_The_Sheep · 13-09-2014 12:43pm

Ah, ffs. Stupid knock on. Should be a draw!

Kiwi_knock · 13-09-2014 12:44pm

Lovely play to make it that far, and then a stupid knock-on

LuckyGent88 · 13-09-2014 12:44pm

Absolutely butchered.
Great play leading up to that though.

Go destroy the Aussies in the scrum

Dave_The_Sheep · 13-09-2014 12:49pm

That's a load of my balls.

"I never said yes".

LuckyGent88 · 13-09-2014 12:52pm

What a terrible way to end that for the pumas.

How the hell does the commentator say that was a great last scrum for the Aussies!!!

They were already getting pushed back but only for the incompetence of the scrum half the Aussies would have drawn that game.

.ak · 13-09-2014 12:59pm

Any refs can comment on this? Should it not be a reset? Especially with the new rules were it's a silent nod and a wink etc? Can easily lead to confusion?

sydneybound · 15-09-2014 10:20am

I know other NRL games were going on in the area but a crowd of only 14,000 was very poor for a rugby championship match.

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/wallabies-crowd-for-argentina-clash-the-lowest-this-century-20140914-10gnv1.html

Could you ever imagine only 14,000 turning up to a six nations match?!

17-09-2014 1:37am

Any highlights of the weekend gone by?

phog · 21-09-2014 11:56pm

Cruden left at home for drink related issues and will miss next two games
