2025 Rugby Championship

[DidakDelight]

Solid forward pack especially the locks and the back row.
The change in the backs makes me nervous a bit but looking forward to seeing Paisani and Sua’li’i work together in the centre.

Paenga-Amosa not named as replacement hooker is disappointing. Is he injured?

​

Hopefully it's another good test match today, an awesome atmosphere there with the Argentina fans making a heap of noise.

 

[Plugger35]

The Pumas with the first penalty goal and the Wallabies respond with the first try.

 

[Plugger35]

The Wallabies lead didn't last long with the Pumas scoring a try after charging down a kick.

 

[Greenstar5]

Crazy start. Don't see too many tries like that. Charge down on a touch finder.

 

[Plugger35]

Argentina with a similar half time lead to last week, the Wallabies will need another second half comeback to win it.

 

[DidakDelight]

Too many f’n mistakes, not enough patience to go through phases. Paisami doing some dumb things and unnecessary offloads and Edmed’s general kicking besides the one 50/22 has not had any purpose.

Bring us home JOC!

 

[Plugger35]

The Wallabies blowing another the try scoring opportunity, the Pumas have blown a few of them as well though.

 

[Plugger35]

The Wallabies with the first try of the second half, could it be the start of another comeback, there is still enough time left.

 

[Plugger35]

Another try for the Wallabies, it's game on now.

 

[Greenstar5]

Crowd 41 912. New Allianz Stadium record.

 

[Greenstar5]

Probably going to run out of time here.

 

[Plugger35]

The referee being a spoilsport calling that a forward pass, it might have been but it was marginal.

That's probably the Wallabies last hope of snatching another win, they needed a try from that play.

 

[Plugger35]

A late try for the Wallabies but it looked like a forward pass.

They have allowed it, wow, it has set up another close finish.

 

[Greenstar5]

Maybe lol

 

[Plugger35]

A penalty to the Pumas and that's game over, that's probably a fair result, they were the better team for most of the match..

 

[Greenstar5]

Well done Pumas. Much better team.

 

[Greenstar5]

Picked up a bonus point and closed the Points Diff on the table. So salvaged something.

 

[Greenstar5]

Too many dropped balls.
Silly offloads after making breaks.
Being charged down when winning a pen.
Not winning your lineout after a 50/22 kick.
Maybe should have taken the 3 just before half time.

Another slow start. Came back strong, helped by a yellow card.

Things to work on before the bledisloe. The Pumas Played really well. Espically first half.

Go the boks hey. Lol to keep the AB within distance for the RC.

 

[DidakDelight]

English ref refused to call offside all day, constant creepage at the breakdown. Same infringements lady week the ref penalised them for the same stuff all day.

But, but, Argentina deserved the win.

Now let’s see the Boks win in Wellington to square up this magnificent TRC.

 

[Plugger35]

Some great scenes with the Pumas players and their fans, that win meant a lot to them.

I could get used to these double header teet matches every weekend!
Life doesn’t get much better.

I’d love to see an annual test league involving the top 12 nations.

• 22 tests played over a year
• each nation plays each other twice, home and away. Incorporate it into the same 6 nations fixture, the TRC and the Autumn nations to finish.

 

[Plugger35]

It looked like the Springboks had got the first try against the All Blacks but it got overturned due to a little knock on.

The Springboks have dominated both the territory and possession so far.

A shame the first Bledisloe Cup test match in NZ will clash with the AFL GF, not great scheduling but Kiwis don't GAF about AFL.

 

[Plugger35]

A great try to the All Blacks against the run of play, champagne rugby indeed.

 

[Plugger35]

The Springboks strike back with an intercept try.

My old rugby team won a premiership with an intercept try in the last few minutes of a grand final, no better way to win one.
