Game have been boring so far. These teams could put up a better show then this

 

[faniebraai]

Ok first half. More positive rugby. Still a little schit kicking, but overall better.

On the other hand Arg having a schit night

 

[Fulcrum29]

Meh, boring so far.

Very. Is it only me or is the ref pro Springboks tonight?

 

[Vrotappel]

Habana really doesn't want to break that record. I have it now at 4 spoiled attempts.

 

[Creag]

Two observations. I could be wrong. Hope I am. Argentina doesn't look like the same team, almost as if their WC ended last weekend. And Habana appears to be more focused on scoring a try than what's good for the team. I can't blame him if so.

A quality team would have put them to bed already

So far the Argentinians deserved the penalties against them.

Absolutely, and it's almost a b-side from Arg. No passion.

It has been a bit better. Still wrong players where they shouldn't be that are half the problem. Maybe Pieterson should go to lock instead of Matfield, and Habana with the glory hunting...

Argentina never have the right players getting the ball at the right time either.

No doubt, but it is the small things. Also a unnecessary yellow there in the opening minutes.

 

[faniebraai]

Even though we are starting to try to run, you can see these guys are so out of practice for it. It's like a bunch of n00bs with no plan. It's like the whole plan consist of "pass the ball and see what happens"

He's actually let Argentina get away with a lot as well... sealing off the ball, going off their feet, etc.

You speak of glory hunting, that pass by Pollard to Habana was the wrong option. Looking back on that, he was in a good space to score the try himself.

Yeah, a bit. Those ridiculous 2 forward passes in the lead up to the try were completely ignored. Possible late charge on Amorosino not even getting a 2nd look. Stupid yellow...

 

[faniebraai]

In light of the upcoming Bryan Habana try... (the first 45 seconds)

We rubbish if we being honest. We competitive but playing such a dull and agricultural style of rugby.

That late wasn't late. Didn't need a second look.

This will be the best thing for our game. Get it out the way so that we can begin the try-fest I need

Remember Argentina had to change 10 players for this game. Nowhere near their top side. The one prop had to fly in from Argentina last night because of the injury to Ayerza... Explains why the scrums are so fail.

How do you know? The Supersport footage didn't even show it.
