Referee was 6 foot away looking at the Argie scrum half and still missed the ball being knocked out of his hand until the TMO told him, bizarre really.

Wonder what the odds are on an Argentina comeback
50-22 + a crippler
Battered.

Embarrassing...
The game was really set when theeABs were 12-3 up and the Argies were battering their line but only came away with 3 points due the ABs outstanding defence.
Mo’Unga looks a big weakness for the ABs, his place kicking was poor tonight.

In a tight game penalties and conversions count.
What a weird post, Mo’Unga plays for New Zealand . I’d be concerned if I was an ABs fan , and be thinking about getting Jodie Barrett to do the place kicking.

England kick everything they get near to tomorrow. Like the first game a man down all match, it'll be an accuracy contest.

Haha I'm a saffa. So just checking
I'd do the same. He's been dodgy all WC at his place kicks

Pleased with the ABs today...last week I was ecstatic. But I won't blame the players for that emotion disparity; I'll blame the game's stewards/directors, who completely fluffed their lines in convoking a lopsided draw. All Blacks on a different level to Argentina. I suspect SA will beat England in a much tighter game. And, as in cricket, NZ is good at rugby, but not at the level of the bigger nations on this mighty globe. But still I remain a patriot....and quietly proud of my little country at the bottom of the world.
And now my attentions turn to Taranaki...my province, in the home final of our domestic rugby competition, this afternoon. I'll be there at Yarrow Stadium cheering our young lads home (hopefully).
And then Everton in the derby...hmmm, not quite the same passion exists there anymore...hoping for a 1-1 draw

Mate, from a Springbok fan, never write off the all blacks. This is rugby royalty right here. Can't tell If having a easy game or a tough game is good for the kiwi team. New Zealand as their weakest is a title contender this is fact.
The teams been through a strange period over last couple months bit it's knockout rugby
Get your money opposite, it looks to me like SA have come in heavy and ready this tournament.
Seems pretty clear there are 4 elite teams then a big gap, even though Ireland should have beaten them NZ still created some brilliant tries. Whereas the saffas got out played then high kicked their way through with lucky bounces and friendly southern hemisphere refereeing. From that point view and despite their fans being a gang of kopites I really hope NZ can win it, especially with the truly awful erasmus with his weird 'I'm not the coach but everyone talk about me' role.
