Christ!! Aussie rugby is in serious decline, they’ll finish rock bottom of the table if they lose here having only had the 1 win
Half time in Salta. Argentina 31 Australia 7
Hard to pinpoint where thwir issue is. They have madw 3 or 4 mistakes and conceded tries off each of them.
Lineout is shithouse alright. defence can only do so much when you dont have ball. Argies have been clinical
Two quick tries for Australia at start of second half. 31-21.
Another Australia try. 31-28.
Argentina 34 Australia 42
Forward pass on the last Australia try.
Sometimes you just know
Gordon Bray is your only man when it comes to Australian rugby commentators. One of the very best.
The 2019 renewal gets underway this afternoon. The Qantas Wallabies are in Johannesburg to face South Africa. Tonight it’s Argentina v New Zealand in Buenos Aires.
Is it an abridged championship this year ?
It is for World Cup year.
Not much discussion about this in.oz
SA race to 30…playing at altitiude and looks a decent side selected
That debutant Springbok scrum half is a handy player.
Not watching it. He is good alright but potentially third choice at WC. Position of real strength for them
This is South Africa’s b team. They sent their a team to nz already for next week.
South Africa as @Sidney astutely observed about 18 months ago could well be the team to beat in the World Cup.
Iv had a good bet on Argentina at 7/2 in the race to 20 market. Hoping they will hit the ground running at home and all blacks often slow starters.
The Estadio Jose Amalfitani an absolute cauldron here.
