Argentina vs the Springboks- The Official Match Thread

Time for me to go surfing before the game. Will be back before kickoff!

Yep I am l looking foward to this one.  Currently Meyer has a loss record of 18.75%. Win this and its 17.65% 

Boks are on the rise!

 Brycy its time to concentrate on the premier game for this weeks RC. Mighty Boks versus Argentina.
No more about Sa refs etc.

Thanks

 Good start by Argentina. Try, Looking much more physical. 

Am i making you look bad Bean Brain? Sorry about that .

Not like you not to want to talk about refs. I thought that was your favourite subject.

Good luck against the number 10th ranked team in the world.

 JJ did well to setup that try. 

game looking pretty even at the moment. Some errors by the boks

 thanks Brycy, I knew a sensitive soul like you would understand.

Argies playing like men possesed!

Go Bokke!

 Bok forwards not going into rucks together. 

 What a difference re the Argies.  You would hardly beleive they are the same side.

Bok forwards need to up the ante and get stuck in. Dont seem to be on fire.

Pity Walsh and touch judge allowed the Puma to take out Strauss and did not penalise Argies who should not have got that first try. I see Mallet has confirmed this.

 This is more like the Argentina we were all expecting to see. Their game plan to not kick out is working and chase is good. Morne keeping us in the game - rock solid kicking under pressure so far.

 Yes very impressive from the Pumas. 

I think we need Coenie on now, and then perhaps Birmaark to improve our ruck performance

Bean Brain i thought you did'nt want to talk about refs anymore?

Given this is the official thread and your exacting standards i would at least expect you to keep us updated on the current score...or is it getting too embarrasing.

Please don't tell me 10th ranked team in the world is kicking yr butts....

Surely the floodgates will open any minute for the wee boks..

 Another baseless eye gouge allegation from SA, surprise surprise

 Frans Louw gouged, probably not intentionally.

Is it halftime yet ?

Whats the score?

Cmon guys whats happening Bean Brain?

We haven't all got daimond mines or gold mines in our back yard and can afford SKY.

 A visit to the optician poly. Couldnt you see Louw prying the argies twit's hand from his eye area. Possibly you kiwis have 1980 TV technology and cant see?

 Brycy - click on "Show live scoring" top right of this page and then click on the argentina/ sa game. Page will refresh with updates

 So far brycy it's not going to well argies lead by 1 point. Poor handling by Boks etc. Just look off.

Rucking performance by Argentina very good, not great form the boks. Is Coenie on, I see Bismaark has just entered the scene.

Eye gouging you say . Did some one get a chalk burger ?

 Take Lroux off, having a shit game. Just kicked direct into touch.

The plan against the All Blacks is to eye gouge Mccaw. His eye will look good in our trophy cabinet

 Just checked on to this game. What a surprise score!

 Beeno sees what the ref and TMO can't see with their technology, then questions NZ technology

 Brycy please no childish comments .We are busy watching a very physical test here. Real rugby  you understand not carol jane etc prancing down the touchline.

Bring on Vermaak.

 Someone has bitten Ezebeth. 

 Yes he has been bitten on his arm  - this follows the eye gouging. Now theuy have lost contact with the TV ref.How convenient  Man its like playing against Nz!

Biting you say ? Did someone get a Johan Loroux ear check ?

 One has to say ou CC must be very embarassed by now. He and one or two others were suggesting the Argies didnt deserve to be playing in the RC

 Seriously the South African on field bitching is reaching Australian levels, JDV looked like he was about to cry...

 Argies are doing much better this week. Boks need to step up the pressure & get and keep some ball.

 poly and brycy could you pease zip it. You remind me of a mosquito bothering one when trying to sleep.

Walsh just keeps blowing his whistle.

 Why ihas Coenie only come onto the field now?

Surely he should have started or come on in the 55th minute?

 Man we need Vermaak - his service is quicker. Listen to uncle Beeno Meyer.

 Well done Walsh - at last he penalises Argies for collapsing the maul!

 Morne keeps his nerve yet again. Boks lead by 2!

Brycy does a summersault of joy.

Hahahahhaahaha

 Well Beeno you remind me of pretty much the stupidest dope god ever blew breath into...

Bean Brain you sound like yr getting frazzled mate . I see though lucky for you the Kiwi ref is keeping the wee boks in the game,

A historic loss to these minnows would be unthinkable.

 Beeno1: not looking good mate. Let's hope this is just overconfidence as this performance is nothing like last weeks.

 Really poor performance from the mighty Bok nation. even  embarassing. Somehow you have to pick up your game. Oz might even give you a good run for your money.

Anyway, congrats to Boks and well played Argies (you did your best)!
