Poor Argentina once again. They really deserve to win a game at this stage and have home advantage when they play NZ and Australia. I can't see them beating NZ but could turn over Australia.

at least Oz had the excuse of lasers being shone in the eyes of their kickers, Argentina need a hefty fine/ground ban/game behind closed doors over that

wonder was the laser guy posing in Supermacs for photos afterwards

Seriously? Are they still at that laser business? I watched the highlights this morning on sky and didn't see any.

That's happened quite a few times at home Argentine games. You'd think their union would have sorted this out by now.

Fairly tasty game this!

Could the All Blacks lose two in a row?

Down to 14 for the next ten after a really dumb yellow

Only 45k at the game? Is that not very low?

3 points lead in the last nine minutes, can the Aussies hold on? Not at this rate, but it would be great for them if they could!

Edit: No, they can't. We know how they must feel anyway!

McKenzie gone. He's resigned after all the cr@p in the last few weeks.

Schmidt v Cheika at the Aviva next month?

I thought McKenzie was going to throw the bottle in front of him at the camera when NZ got the try at the end. He looked seriously pissed off.

Sky just announced that he's resigned. Ozzie rugby in disarray.

Apparently Cheika won't even consider the job unless there is serious reform in the ARU.

It sounded like they really wanted him.

He'd be hilarious though, can you imagine that shower with him in charge? Either there would be mass retirements from international rugby or they would become fearsome.

If Chekia got it that would be him and Schmidt into international management post Leinster, great career progression for MO'C if the Portugal coach packs it in.

McKenzie is a duff coach, called it when he was linked with the Ireland job, he was cr@p at Stade and only won when surrounded by very good players and backroom staff at the Reds.
