@uhuru-14:” Victory for the Wallabies over Argentina would see them revert to second place in the IRB World Rankings at the expense of South Africa – provided New Zealand beat the Springboks to extend their unbeaten run to 16 Tests. ” — IRB website.

And the latest ratings are as at 1 October — that’s BEFORE the Wallaby-Puma and SA-NZ tests of 6-7 Oct.

So, pilgrim, you’re really NOT ranked second. You’re ranked third.

Third-rate?

Well done Wallabies, to go over there with a second string team and win is a testament to their will power and determination, They may just re claim the No2 in the world as well, A lot of handling errors which was disappointing but apart from that I thought they looked the most dangerous,

Watch out next year when all our guys are back

I´m not sure if we could talk about punishment when the score was 25-19.
I´m not sure about 3 scores if we have a decent kicker (SA in Mendoza 3 penalties an one drop missed; AUS in Gold Coast and AUS in Rosario, where we missed 3 penalties -Hernandes kick with injured foot- , and Beale missed 2 impossible penalties).

The RCH is history now, we must keep our efforts to still join with the big 3.
We have an epic effort to stay here without super rugby and whit one HC who can´t understand the importance to have a decent kicker (like Bustos Moyano who keep warm the seat in all this RCH).

About the laser is a shame, but the commentators can´t talk about it the OMERTA law is heared when the money talks.

Thanks SA for your support and goodbye for now.

taking a cursory glance at the first half without giving any real, determined observation i have picked up just a few of the new zealanders infringements. of course the second half was / is far, far more littered with filthy play than the first (how else would they win):

1. driving off players without the ball.

2. hands.

3. macaw falling onto the wrong side of the ruck.

4. different players going onto the wrong side of the ruck.

5. hands.

6. offsides.

7. going off feet / to ground at ruck.

8. hands.

9. taking up position ahead of the ruck.

10. ab prop drops bind *should be an immediate penalty*.

11. disengaging early from scrum.

12. lineout distance infringement.

13. macaw blocking at scrum.

14. entering maul from side and continuing to play.

15. hands in ruck playing ball.

16. tackling support player without the ball intentionally – nonu.

17. *spear tackle* – retalick (is this even a debate…?..but i’ll bet you the citing commisioner if a saffa let it go).

18. offsides.

19. macaw slowing ball in ruck blatantly.

20. forward pass read – try.

21. sealing off at ruck.

22. obstructive running.

23. offsides again.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:
this is just the first half and is by no means a full and final assesment of their filth.

@Puma-15: should read - have fallen

So even a the weak WAllabies beat the Argies. Where as the Boks could only manage a draw!! Jeez our Boks has fallen this year under Meyer. Sort of give me a feeling of the Straeuli era. Really hope we don’t fall to that level. We need to go and now beat all on our eoyt tour, somehow think we may get beat by Ireland and England. Hope I am wrong.

Aussies — if they win here, as seems likely — will end up with 3 wins out of 6 to nudge the Boks into 3rd place and they will also reclaim their #2 IRB ranking, again driving SA down to #3 again.

Progress under Heineken Meyer? Zero. Zilch. Nada.

And a number of EOYT opponents will be fancying their chances of tipping over the Boks too — especially as injuries rule out some key Bok players.

Prospects under Heineken Meyer? I see a bad moon rising…

Harris lasered again. very poor. can’t believe commentators haven’t mentioned it???

nobody wants to score a try seemingly? both teams butchering golden opportunities. don’t see Arg coming away with a win unfortunately.

@Esoteric-4: Yes, it's pretty poor. It reportedly happened to the Kiwis too - although I didn't notice it during their game. But it has been very obvious this time. It isn't working, either.

Aus kickers being lasered, both Beale and the other kid. Sky UK commentators oblivious.

Great to see local atmosphere, it may look like River Plate is going to take on Boca Juniors. But no, that’s welcome Pumas.

Go Pumas! If they fail to beat at home injury decimated Australia, first season will be a failure.
