RWC Quarter finals

Another mistake on attack. This is not good signs.

Argentina's tackling has been brilliant. New Zealand players have great ball control and their short passes are spot on.

 

[Harry_O]

Almost. Must make em' pay.

 

[Aucklander]

Weepu has been very good.

 

[S120]

Piri Weepu has been magnificent for the Kiwis. That box kick was as close to perfect as any half back could hope for.

 

[Harry_O]

Try time. Yeah buddy.

 

[S120]

Bugger.

 

[Aucklander]

Finally a try, but could easily have been intercepted.

That's game over now, brave effort from Argentina to hang on as long as they have.

 

[groga]

free kicks cost argentina badly.

Time to bring on the gun fullback!

Very close. But I'll take it lol

 

[Aucklander]

Bugger.

Yep. You'll have to do it the hard way.

 

[groga]

21 for Argentina is a bloody gun! should have played the whole game.

 

[Harry_O]

Afoa needs to get rid of those sideburns, terrible. Lol

Lightning quick & hard to tackle, Quality player.

Another try, Argentina have been very brave though & played very well.

 

[Aucklander]

Bloody good workout.

From our perspective it would have been better if the AB's had an easy match, but congrats to Argentina for their defence and hope they keep improving with more regular matches against the top 3 sides from next year on. I think they do have some backs with plenty of skill and running ability and once they learn to play more expansively with confidence they'll be as good as anyone. I'm sure in a couple of years we'll bring them up to speed and the southern hemisphere will lock out the top 4 positions in the world rankings.

The All Blacks needed that hit out. In all their previous matches they were able to score tries after only a handful of phases. Argentina forced them to hold onto the ball for long periods and they did it well. I'm sure it'll be the same next week but hopefully we have a bit more ability with the ball in hand than Argentina (if we can get the bloody thing and stop kicking it away/dropping it!).

I think the 4 teams capable of the best rugby have made it through, and it's anyone's tournament from here.
