Bargies vs NZ

First penalty Smith clearly preventing Bargie from placing the ball....should have gone the other way.

NZ looking a bit rattled at the start.

Bargies fooled by Naholo coming from blindside wing....where was his man?

Moz, the game was this past weekend, are you only watching it now? CM will have a field day

All Blacks making lots of lineout errors....some real pressure here by the Boks might work Saturday.

ABs second try straight from a collapsed Bargie scrum....food for thought for those who want the more mobile Koch.

JW it's been available, I just haven't had time.

Codie Taylor clearly pushed before third AB try....probably a good call.

Bargies. Their own worst enemy....they do so many cool things and then blow it with a mistake. Sanchez is a case in point.....scintillating breaks followed by dufus like mistakes.

Perhaps the best ankle tap in recent memory on Ioane when he was gone.

Bargies first try horribly dubious

Tactical kick sets up the next Bargie try...funny how often that happens. And the All Blacks respond with their own tactical kick try.

Not a high quality match. I'm not sure if AB fans are convinced by this performance. Job done though. For the Boks the lineouts look like an opportunity area, and given the newfound AB scrumming, I wouldn't use Saturday's game to try Koch again. Mistakes, mostly in sterile phase play cost the Bargies. Don't get sucked into aimlessly passing the ball to flat footed players.

Funny how A rgies scrum has deteriorated and is now a weakness. The commentators are right -if they fix their set pieces they will be a big threat at RWC.

Ayerza was the Bargie scrum....best loosehead scrummager in the game for a few years.
