Yes. The Pumas were great. When they started, I wrote it off as the sort of typical fire that peters out after 30 mins or so. But they maintained it for 80 minutes. They bullied us all around the park. They were absolutely bloody ferocious in defense. They deserved that win, no question.
It sucks to lose and it sucks to lose to a team to whom you have never lost. But man, you cannot take that away from them and you can't help but feeling happy for them. What a moment.
I didn’t watch the game so i can’t get into game specifics... good on them.
They certainly deserve all the plaudits they are getting.
but what I will say is there’s no way we should have lost to them.
that was f**king disgraceful by the All Blacks... and they should seriously be ashamed of themselves.
And it’s not an arrogant take because it was Argentina...
I think the fact that our players have played super rugby, NPC and 4 tests already and their players have played nothing other than a couple of warm up games says not only did we have a talent advantage as we always do... Argentina was playing with one hand tied behind its back.
the All Blacks were also coming in at full strength... so they SHOULD have put 50 on them.
that’s not arrogance... that’s just honesty... considering how much everything was stacked against Argentina.
We have kids playing Mitre10 cup on the weekend who would crawl on broken glass to get a chance in that black jersey and just might be a better option than some of these guys.
It’s not a surprise though.... what about that idiot Fozzy has made anyone think he could handle this job...
the NZRFU won’t sack him this early... that would confirm what everyone already knew... they f**ked up the coaching search.
what I DO expect is they will bring in an experienced ‘assistant’ coach next season... maybe a Wayne Smith or a Robbie Deans, Joe Schmidt or maybe even Warren Gatland.
