Re: RC2021 R3 New Zealand v Argentina - SUN SET 12 - 07:05 UTC - CBUS Super Stadium, Gold Coast - Australia

Congratulations All Blacks! :thumbup: :thumbup: An 80-minute monologue. As for Los Pumas, without a franchise to give cohesion to the group and without the possibility of playing at home for more than two years (a place to become strong), it is necessary to rethink whether it is convenient to expos...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-5GcSkXEAQ5pIa?format=jpg&name=900x900 Front row is a weak link in the pack, particularly the props. We might find ourselves giving away PKs all night come scrum time.

Re: RC2021 R3 New Zealand v Argentina - SUN SET 12 - 07:05 UTC - CBUS Super Stadium, Gold Coast - Australia

Nicolas Sanchez will make history against the All Blacks.

The 10 player from Tucuman will wear the Pumas jersey for the 90th time and will become the player with the most appearances in the Argentine national team! :shock:

Re: RC2021 R3 New Zealand v Argentina - SUN SET 12 - 07:05 UTC - CBUS Super Stadium, Gold Coast - Australia

Sanchez was a major impact in the win against the ABs last year. I've never seen Miotti influence a game in that way. True, but without Cubelli at his side (they were team-mates at Force) the outlook is even bleaker. Cubo's trickery often opens up some gaps that Sanchez also tries to make. Miotti i...

Re: RC2021 R3 New Zealand v Argentina - SUN SET 12 - 07:05 UTC - CBUS Super Stadium, Gold Coast - Australia

Rotation makes sense at this point and can expect more next week. I would expect Akira Ioane not to start next week and maybe Laulala along with Havili. We lost to Argentina last year with pretty much a full-strength side, would rather not risk that happening again. Carfer has shown that the team i...

All Blacks in great form. Bokke and Pumas live together in a bubble. Hope the coaches exchange some wisdom and notes. There are several young players in the extended Pumas squad who did not get game time and are unlikely to get it against NZL and AUS. I guess the same must be true for the Springbok...

An unexpectedly strong win, thought it would be closer. It's a decent Pumas team, their 2020/2021 results speak for themselves.
