Wallabies vs Argentina RC Round 3 2025

Now that everyone has hopefully figured out their BMI, let's get back to rugby.

Argies easily weathering first Oz probes and they get a turnover.

Likewise for the first Argie probes and Fraser gets the turnover for Oz.

Penalty to Arg for a no arms by Tupuo though, should be 3 for Arg as it's right in front. Lazy stuff.

Tupou again with a no arms, terrible discipline. Used the same amount of arms Earl did, but for the Lions 0 = 2 of course. It's 6-0 for Arg, all 6 points courtesy of Tupou.

And now Tupou tanks a great Oz attack started by Kellaway with a terrible pass. Put him in an Argie jersey. It's like that Leon Schuster movie where he infiltrated and deliberately sabotaged the opposition.

Now Argie with a no arms on Tupou, not called.

And Tupou drops it in the tackle but Oz fortunately were on a penalty advantage. Can this guy even rugby, bro?

Oz not taking the 3 but going for the line.

Oz gets nothing from the attacking lineout, Argies turn it over and will clear. Maybe take the points when on offer.

Jorgenson with a great take under pressure. Oz concedes another breakdown penalty.

Lynagh now with a great take in from the air. Oz penalty about 40 out and they go for the lineout again.

Oz attack from the lineout, makes ground and White snipes from close to score. 7-6

Fraser wins another breakdown penalty for Oz. Valetini now coughs it up in the tackle. Oz just looking a little laboured on attack.

Great try from the scrum off Valetini's knock by Argentina - Chocobares splitting the gap between White and Lynagh and from there it's just men over that needed to be utilized and was. 11-7

Another try Argentina. Their backplay is just on a different level. Lynagh with a terrible tackle attempt in there that could have stopped it. I don't know about this guy man, he just adds nothing. 18-7

Another Lynagh catch and pass followed by a poor high kick by him that had no hope of being recovered or even pressured. Now Kellaway and Lynagh pull the old Aussie stunt of messing around in their own 22 and they concede a penalty under pressure. 21-7. I'd get Lynagh off the park right now. No idea what Joe's obsession with this dude is.

Oz leaking penalties like a shotgunned bucket.

White penalized for not rolling with two Argentinians lying on top of him. Harsh.

Halftime 21-7. Oz dominating possession and territory but not much happening out back for them. Conceding too many penalties, 8 to 3. Lynagh culpable in both Argentina tries, this guy is the kind of weak link no team can afford or should tolerate at this level.

Suaalii with a good rip in the tackle. Jorgenson is one of those players who just seems to have a natural affinity for the game.

Brilliant try Oz. Smashing it up, White with the slight delay to Ikitau who holds it up in the tackle and offloads to Suaalii for the try. 21-14

Lynagh fails to find touch off the penalty, Arg hoists and recovers. What should have been a massive advantage to Oz turns into them having to absorb big pressure on their own 22. What does this guy ever do to put his team on the front foot? Answer: nothing.

Another Lynagh high kick too deep to compete for.

Carreras runs over Lynagh after Lynagh kicked a wobbler straight down the field.

Finally JOC on for Lynagh.

Come on Pumas! Morning Pakie. Lynagh seems to be upsetting you…

JOC kicks deep but the ball makes one roll too many and goes dead. Back to just outside the Oz 22 for a scrum.

Howzit MP. Lynagh is fucking terrible. Not even remotely a test player.

JOC with a floated pass wide to beat the defense that you'll never see from Lynagh and Oz just needed a bounce to score. Still big pressure.

Carreras gets yellow after multiple team warnings for offside. Oz goes for the touchline.

Suaalii scores, nicely executed Oz. JOC converts, 21-21

Kellaway tends to hold on too long, lost forward in the tackle. Oz attacking from their own 22, may not be the best play right now. Best to get back into enemy territory.

Great turnover Hooper.

Oz with an attack from turnover possession, another tight forward in the mix ends it with a missed pass.

Toole with good pressure off the kick and Argies drop it.

Morning Paks

21-21

...let's hope for a draw ;)

Môre manne.

Oz rumbling well and then spoils it with a side entry right in front of the Argie poles.

Howzit guys.
