Im surprised by this, I always think it’s an area the ABs can be attacked at, especially by a big physical pack, but they’ve utterly smashed argie at the scrum

Yeah, not too surprising is itYou were saying
Btw, how fecking good is Richie Mo’unga. Is there a better 10 in the world at the moment?
Missed a relatively easy kick in the first half #nitpicking
A brave performance by Argentina no matter how this works out. Can't help but feel that the ABs would have 40 or 50 points on the current Irish team in a similar game. They've been immense in defence.
Just a pity they didn't get that try when it looked on at the start of the second half to make it more of a contest.

The AB's now have a bonus point but they need to end the match having scored 3 or more tries than Argentina to keep that bonus point. A bonus point win basically seals the Tri Nations for the All Blacks.
Aw, just as I write all that Argentina give up two super soft tries.....
Done and done with another breakaway...
Why are you making that tackle when you’re winning after time has run out
Ian Foster's future as AB's coach might have hinged on tonight's result. He will end his first year in charge having retained the Bledisloe Cup comfortably and won the Tri Nations.
Booting all the fecking ball away again
Good start for Wales, a missed Farrell kick and breakaway try from a chargedown. Wonder if their luck is in.
That is why you keep the bloody ball in hand Eddie
Given the decisions so far, no.
Fecking hell.
We've gone from 3, 4, 5 resets to none.
Officials lately seem determined to pick an offender but there IS a middle ground for 50/50s.

The ref is spoiling this.
Yeah some bad calls from the ref so far but England haven't taken advantage. Some bizarre decisions from Ford and Slade have messed up scoring opportunities.
Halfpenny has always been decent under the high ball....so let’s just float them aimlessly over to him with a half-arsed chase
The constant kicking is pissing me off. Especially when we look dangerous every time we keep it in hands.
So THIS time, you listen to the TMO but not for a mid air tackle on the catcher?

Is anyone else’s video really unreliable? Watching through a fire stick, but it was always perfect for the Premier League or tennis. I’ve had it buffer, pixelate constantly, and about 5 mins ago it just stopped and went back to the menu.
Yeah, happened to me twice.
My son has heard that from me at least 10 times in the past hour. It’s painful to watch. Partly because most of the kicks are poor
England v France next Sunday in London then for the final. Unless Italy can provide an upset.

I'm looking forward to the final against France next week but our performance against Wales really wasn't so good.

Although you can never tell whether France will turn up, I can’t help feeling we’ll get beat if we play like that
Farrell's reign of Ireland starting to look a bit destructive now. What was he up to with the props? Feel sorry for Bealham.
three argentinian players were suspended from the pumas, one of them the captain Pablo Matera, for racists tweets
good ridance!
good ridance!
Was that after the game at the weekend?
Edit: Fecking hell, I've just seen what the tweets were about now. Talk about a fall from grace!
had we known what he is he would have never been in a state of grace
Horrendous stuff. Good to see he's 100% accepted it and apologized unreservedly.
yes, it's a pitty because he was a good player, but we can't separate that from what he thinks or used to think
Can the international players you know, just stay away, it’s been great seeing Munster finally bring through some good kids with potential to lead us back to silverware.
Sloppy game in the Tri-Nations even though conditions aren't great.
I hope Michael Hooper's decisions to turn down three points so often in the first 15 minutes of the match don't prove costly.
Wallabies scrum has been a big tick thus far.
Lukhan Salakaia Loto has been sent off for a high tackle. The fact Angus Gardner didn't take long over the decision is a very clear indication of how blatant a red card it was. This is Australia's 3rd red card since January 2017 drawing them level with NZ in that timeframe.
As this happened in the 60th minute, we won't hear any squeeling about the need for the red card sanction to be altered.
