Tuned in to see the last part of the game... Pumas soaked up serious pressure... very impressive. Never seen the Kiwis look so dejected they're losing confidence in themselves. Definitely need some new direction but Pumas doing well under cheika. They have the best backs in the competition by far so they just need some consistency in their overall game.
Argentina has arrived big time...been close lots of times in the past, but now they are the real deal...should have won by a bigger margin.
Very pleased for them.
Well deserved win.
Awesome match.
Well done Pumas....the Pumas also spell danger for the Boks....in actual fact, all top tier teams do....Nienhaber is not a head coach, he is completely out of his Depth....and Rassie is MIA??? We are taking a massive slide backwards....R&N and Davids + Stick, is not the coaches to take us further to WC glory....its obvious to see that they have nothing else in Gameplan Form.....not to mention Player selection which is atrocious.....R&N + Co must leave ASAP and never come back....this is the only way forward.....bring Dobbo or Jake
Last year I saw the first game and the blocks were awful... pumas made so many unforced mistakes but they were shredding the Block defence easily. I'll sat the Argies have arrived when they are consistent in big games. They have the ability but they don't always close out games and sometimes just implode and make teams like the blocks look way better than they are.
mpower you are dead wrong... this block team is about 8th or 10th for talent in the world, inf you rank them in the backs they are for sure way lower than even that! What the fuck has Erasmus got to work with? They can't fucking defend, they can't use the ball in their hands... so what have they got? The gameplan is genius. If they try to play any other way they'll be road kill. No question about that. It's time you lot sobered up and accept that you are not the hard men of rugby anymore and your talent pool is not as good as you think it is.
Well if Rassie and his 1 stupid Gameplan is soooooooooo genius why are we sliding at a massive tempo backwards??!!....players like Gelant that plays magnificent Rugby under a different coach or Roos or Elrigh or some of the older guys, but under R&N they become useless plonkers.....how do you explain that??? Yes some of our players is overrated and over the hill, but to generalize and make our whole player pool bad, is narrow minded and stupid!!! Take of your blind fold Rosie, you are not seeing so clearly as you proclaim to be!!
A gameplan has got nothing to do with winning you one on one battles. Getting tossed about at this level is a big fucking problem Mpower. So you can't dominate the line physically, so what do you do??? Put the ball in the air, dominate field position and use the lineout. Erasmus is ticking all of the fekking boxes here. Your players just aren't good enough. Gelant is a real talent but he has to work with these bozos. Against Wales Gelant ran great lines and not one other motherfucker saw the idea!! So... Gelant was pretty much isolated and the ball was turned over a couple of times. Roos was physically fucked up by the Welsh. That was a pretty big eye opener. Test rugby is another animal. I see very fucking clearly. You have two runners who only confuse the opposition sometimes by confusing themselves... Willemse and Am. These guys loves open space and do stupid shit if they have to think. The front rowers look pretty unfit to me but there isn't one big hard man there. You fucks get absolutely dominated on the line in every game... so what more can the coaches do exactly? You fucks keep crying about the gameplan but you cannot see that it can't be any other fucking way! The guy before Erasmus trie to do it the way you all want and you didn't exactly like that very much now did you??? This pool of players is even weaker now than then!
