Les Bleus outplayed Ireland in bid to land World Cup but they need Joe to actually go and win it

Damn it, I clicked on it.
Didn't read it but clicked and that's all that matters to them.

The FRU have veto'd a foreign coach, it's a no go.

Why would you click on the indo?

All Blacks with their usual dip in performance leading up to a world cup. Narrow win against the Argies and drew 16-16 with South Africa this morning.

Retallick off with a potentially serious arm/shoulder injury.

All Blacks not giving much away.

Argentina awful here too, Australia are not a good team and more than that they’ve taken 5 penalties off the Aussie scrum.

Just saw the injury to Retallick, off feet, in at the side, to a player not actively participating in the ruck. NZ were at it too but they might get it looked at now.

argie scrum hasnt been a weapon in years..they have one of the poorest scrums in the top 10 teams now...corrdero and isa back today and i reckon with imhoff back and a few others i reckon they will be a threat in the world cup

Ledesma was adamant the scrum would be resurgent though, still plenty of games to get it right of course.

At what stage of the tournament will Argentina be knocking us out this year, m8s?
