As an Argie I feel really proud of the fight at the end against Ireland, it was a really exciting game. We need to learn from the mistakes made in the opening minutes. Well done Irish
For the record, Ireland are 3rd and Argentina 6th. As Argentina have showed in beating SA, NZ and FR, any of the top 6 teams can beat any of the others. Ireland lucky to edge this one with a team that is not as good as it was.
@patrickmccutcheon9361 what for the record? Ireland are third. I'm saying there is no difference between the top seeded 6 depending on the day. You could also say Argentina were lucky to come as close as they did with the Beirne knock-on
Everybody criticises Ireland for peaking between World Cups. Suddenly when they're not peaking but rebuilding by blooding new players and coaches and struggling with cohesion and discipline, they're suddenly 'not as good as they were'. Ffs!! Make your mind up.
Well done Ireland, great reaction to last week! I think if we are to have a bad month, this is definitely the time. Cant keep the fires burning forever. If we continue to experiment then the 6n will start to look a lot juicier. France will be the team to beat based on their depth. First half was vintage Ireland, a big relief. Second half was just a show of how good Argentina have become - theyve had a great year. I think people are understating just how good irelands defence was in this game, especially at the end of the 1st half. It won them the game. Bench much much better than last week. Sam looked comfortable and you get the feeling weve seen the advent of something. Clarkson was great, poor boy was nervous starting in such a cruncher but the team really helped him enjoy it and fair play to him, he didnt disappoint. We need more prop development asap. But the lineout....god this lineout. Its just a bad rash since the world cup. Can we please open the conversation that poc - legend that he is - is possibly not the man for the job anymore? Whats the point in kicking to the corner if were just going to give it back to them? VDF should have gotten motm, bloody brilliant.
Argentina have really blossomed. It shows the road map for a lot of other nascent teams - get match time against quality opposition and slowly chip away. Yes, the Puma's had had a tasty pack for a very long time but recently they've been the wolf in the long grass.
Hard to believe that Argentina didn’t end up winning this game. That step of Mallia on Hansen was a thing of beauty. Farrel’s facial expressions at the end answers your question Mark.
A Puma's late slip of discipline and a knock-on keeps it real, in my opinion. Argentina's Pumas have scalped all but us, this year. They are a formidable outfit on their day🏴☠☘
Great game. I really underestimated pumas pre match. Was expecting a lot more from Irish, but defence and getting into those rucks kept pumas in it. How is Cian Healy still going? Legend
The head says we won but my heart feels different. Discipline again is off the charts bad and lack of scoring particularly in the 2nd half is a worry but Argentina were classy in defeat.
We finished the match with 14 players and pushing Ireland more than 50 meters to a desperate defense in their own 5 meter line. I think the Irish players and trainers faces at the end of the match said it all: they know they barely made it. I did not like the news when Contepomi was chosen as manager of our team, but he has proven me wrong so far.
Mark, many thanks as always for your insightful vid. As an Irish fan, I thought Ireland played a lot better than last week (better conditions possibly helped) but so well done Argentina, cementing their place as No. 5 in the world with an excellent performance. Ireland not scoring in the second half was a worry, but in context, Argentina's last score was just on 50 minutes, so essentially there was no scores for either team in the last 30 minutes plus overtime in this game.
I tipped the Argies to win. I was wrong but they almost won. The top 8 teams are closer now than at anytime since the professional era started or maybe ever. Rugby is healthy
Argentina is becoming a more complete team, with consistency increasingly tied to being more clinical. They have demonstrated this consistency throughout the year.
Ireland fan here. Argentina deserved to win this game and were stout in defence. We were rubbish again and have given up 26 penalties now in the last two games. Unacceptable.
@corcaigh I'd say there are a few 'retirements' on the cards pre 6N. Farrell showing loyalty to give a few lads their swan song, but I'd bet him and easterby have agreed on some people not to pick in February.
If anyone thought this was going to be easy for Ireland, well look at who Argentina have beaten before this game. Ireland came out of the traps firing on all cylinders, but second half was a mish mash the only words that are applicable. Argentina in the second halve had a very good game and could have won', (but did not) and have not beaten Ireland at home. So I still think we need to blood new young players. Our discipline yet again and lineout support play needs big improvement. Great game by 2 outstanding teams! Thank you.
I completely agree. Our discipline and lineouts are major issues, regarding discipline, conceding 13 penalties per game is unsustainable if we expect to win. This problem is fixable, but it hasn’t improved since last week-we’ve now given up 26 penalties across just two games. I believe this is what's keeping our opponents in the game, and it needs to be addressed immediately. As for the lineouts, they've been a consistent problem since 2023. Everyone knows it: the players, the coaches, and the fans. If it were easily fixable, it would have been resolved by now. Unfortunately, it remains this team’s Achilles’ heel. That said, its best the dip in performance and issues are showing up now rather than in the six nations or world cup. we are still re-building a team, and finding the right balance. if we can just clean up those two issues this team is as good as ever. I might add in handling errors also which need small improvement and to be maintained.
The Pumas are some tough boys, they didn't drop the heads 13 points down after failing to score before half time. They kept plugging away and were putting us under massive pressure at the end. They could easily have won the game. Ireland are going through a ropey patch, but I don't think we are on the decline just yet. We were decent in the first half, but our ill discipline and Argentinian resolve brought them them back into the match. We need to lower the penalty count, continue blooding new players and get back to some form of consistency. I think we can do all those things, but we shall see as we go through the season.
Argentina as a TOP 5 side without relying on a RWC result is outstanding! Consistency is building for them like never before. This Pumas team are up there with the 2015 Pumas
I just think yellow card element is literally, colouring the game in negativity. The croc roll, for example, is crazy, in my opinion. It wasn't around the neck, wasn't a twisting of the torso, just a roll. The head-on-head yellow against Argentina early on was also ridiculous. I mean, what is this all about? These are moments in a high contact sport. None of these moments were close to being malicious. I don't want the game to be ruined by this...
Agree with the head knocks but for me, there should be zero tolerance for croc roll. It’s not the neck but rather the knee. Croc rolls risk players knees which are often season ending injuries.
The croc roll is about landing on a players leg and snapping their knees. Their have been serious injuries because of it, that's why it warrants such a harsh penalty.
I didn't like the Moroni yellow, Crowley left the ball at his arse and moved into Moroni, and then going down like he was shot holding his face, there is a worrying trend of the Rugby lads hamming up contact, especially the head knocks, looking for penalties/yellows. Missed drop from Albornoz was critical in the end.
@@donalnotdonald Can't believe that wasn't upgraded, it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. If targeting a guy's head while he's stuck in a ruck isn't a high level of danger what is?
@@Camcolito strange one alright, possibly the period of the game it occured in lead to them letting it slide, similarly bizarre call last week with Radrada getting smashed by Refell which was left as a yellow.
@@donalnotdonald I don't know what's going on, seems World Rugby are just saying head collisions are a minor thing now after years of trying to stamp it out.
Mark you have a handful of Spanish comments that are thoughtful and substantive. I cannot think of a higher compliment for a review with zero Spanish. Congratulations and gracias a todos que escribiban [?]
They can beat any team on their day as they have proven. The problem for them is that in the RWC they have to have three of those days in a row to win the tournament.
He milked it for sure but it was still head contact and dealt with properly following the protocols. At least that's what I saw from the highlights reel.
Sinceramente en el ST Los Pumas fueron superiores a Irlanda (que no sumó puntos), de hecho llegaron mejor plantados al final. La verdad sabiendo las bajas sensibles que tenían los Pumas Chocobares, Kremer, Mateo Carreras y Boffelli, deja muy buena sensaciones este partido de cara al futuro para la Argentina. Lo del árbitro sobre el final en las 22 de Irlanda no cobtando algunos penales mejor ni hablar ....buenas sensaciones con varios jóvenes que la rompieron, Oviedo siempre gana el metro, Rubiolo un animal casi como Kremer. García debería ser el medio scrum titular, le da otra dinámica al equipo. Mallia, muy bien siempre. Delguy muy bien. La verdad es que me detengo más en las formas que el resultado. Y hay mucho optimismo de cara al futuro con estos Pumas. Mas que nada sabiendo que la base de jugadores se amplia cada vez mas y que aun con varias bajas importantes, hoy se pudo haber empatado de minima. Ya está, el resultado es anecdotico hoy, hoy me quedo con las formas.
How important was that dropgoal in the end. Argies definitely deserved a win at the end. If this is what Ireland is looking like moving forward, some tougher times are ahead, farcry from the team winning a series in NZ
Irish fan here in agreement. This team is over the hill and we need to rebuild. Pity we did not start last season like SA, NZ and ENG who so far look better than us.
Argentina will feel that they should have won that. Credit to Ireland for pulling through. That took a lot of character to do, judging by how the game was turning against them.
It would have been nice to see Argentina be a bit more aggressive with some of their early penalty decisions. They did have moments with momentum. Ireland seemed to be playing all the rugby in the 1st 40. The fight back in the 2nd 40 was awesome. Malia has some footwork on him, but the discipline cost them. Beautiful defensive effort from the Argies in the dying minutes.
Probably lucky to get out of Dodge. Fair play to the Puma's for fighting their way back into the game. However, I think Ireland's poor discipline was the main reason it got so close. We definitely need to improve on this as our discipline was one of our core strengths up until fairly recently.
De Argentina.🥟🍷 La verdad fue parejo. Pero! EN LA ULTIMA JUGADA EL ARBITRO PERDONÓ TRES PENALES A FAVOR DE ARG. ESTE PARTIDO DEBIO TERMINAR EMPATADO (por patada a los palos) O GANAR ARG. por Try. MUY ENOJADO CON EL ÁRBITRO.
It was a big improvement on last week but Ireland won't be back properly until they improve at the breakdown, the line out and their discipline. The attack looks static without Mike Cat's coaching and the maul goes nowhere. Anyone asking Big Pauly about that and the poor line out? Surely he must come under some scrutiny. Still I think they will get better . Going to take some time to get back to the pre-world cup form.
I was surprised by how slow the Irish attack looked at times... sometimes they are so quick and relentless you can just FEEL a try is inevitable... but man the Pumas did well to slow things down and looks solid
The only thing I can take from these games is that it's the right time for Ireland not to be at their best. Probably Argentina should have taken us. Hopefully there will be improvements before the 6N.
Ireland penalties, 2 games in a row. Sheesh. There’s nothing between the top five teams, any of them could win on any day. Argentine defence was solid! Ireland couldn’t get a tempo going. Nail biter.
Two cents i have to ask your opinion, are irealnd the team to beat these days? Not in terms of world position or quality of the team per say. I just feel like every team really wants to beat ireland at the moment. Would love to hear from other nations fans (undoubtedly the saffas😂) about why or why not. Hear for the craic and conversation. Not tryong to be a bad sportsman. Congrats to argentina on a fantastic year of rugby
Good defence by Arg but it is not that difficult if you know what to expect. Ireland never looked like they were gonna try something else in the 2nd half. Argentina was so shallow and quick on defence leaving loads of space behind the centres to chip into, even if only to give them something else to think about when rushing up on defence. You must force the defence to divide their focus in terms of what your options are. Ireland were just running lateral behind the gain line or putting up high kicks, usually too deep. No challenge for a reasonably organized defence. Must admit I was dissapointed despite the win. Argentina should not be buying the beer tonight...
HOW MANY PENALTIES WAS THE REFF GOING TO IGNORE IN THAT LAST PLAY?!? I hate crying about the reff but my god the Irish could have pulled a gun out and he would have still played stupid
You can't just blame the ref but he definitely didn't help you rightly or wrongly, maybe the laws are at fault more than him! But well played Argentina you made Dublin get a sweat on!
Great game, love that Farrell brought in Clarkson early (55min) and gave Sam Pendergast 20 minutes. Ireland defence is solid but the attack is lacking, Argentina’s failure to exit in the first half on 4 occasions set the platform for Ireland. They were better at exiting in the second half. Like NZ they were happy to soak up Ireland pressure and take kicks at goal. I thought Ireland should have played territory a bit more, discipline and errors were better but I can’t see them working more to reduce them further. Hopefully we will see Casey, Osbourne and Clarkson start next week. JVF looked like his hamstring went in the dying minutes so Timoney will likely start. If Furlong is back I would bring him off the bench. Izuchukwu will likely be introduced off the bench otherwise it would be a lot of changes. I would be tempted to stick with Crowley with Prendergast off the bench again. Gavin Coombs to be called up, Ireland are crying out for the physicality he brings to ball carrying. Cain Prendergast could also be used for that punch. Robbie or Aki off the bench will offer impact.
Clarkson did well and so did Prendergast. No shock there. They way Ireland select you'd think anyone in their early 20s were incapable of playing test rugby.
First half went more or less as you'd expect Ireland to play but that second half, what in the name of god was that? Refusal to take easy 3 points when they presented themselves throughout both halves, kicking away possession stupidly, failing to execute after pushing right up into the Argentine half. Feel sorry for Argentina, unbreakable defence, excellent rucking kept irish hands from making turnovers, caused us to concede penalties, very aggressive pack, no traction with our mauls at all. About as close as you can get between two teams.
This is awesome for rugby, so happy for los pumas,any team on the day is how it should be. People are quick to say The ABS are not what they use to be but shesh they are still in the top after how many years of rugby history?
The Irish defence is epic the attack is flacid. Maybe they are slightly changing their attack systems with their new coach. I was at the game but down behind the posts. Atmosphere good in spots to shit in places. Too many bell ends going to the bar and getting food during the match. Shame. Nice to see the young prop getting a good debut. VDF was on fire jesus he was involved in a lot. Mc Carthy is a beast but man oh man does he give away some brain dead penalties.
I need to know why, when Ireland were given yellow cards, Argentina went for 3 points both times. I understand the first time, get points on the board etc. But the 2nd time, they're a lock down, you're in their half, how on earth do you not kick to the corner and rolling maul it with them being one forward down?? That makes no sense to me. You HAVE to go for the jugular at certain times in a game and that 2nd yellow going for 3 points instead of the corner will always be the wrong move, especially with a forward yellow carded.
Ireland have an excellent maul defence they very rarely leak more than one try a game Argentina were probably hoping Ireland get ill disciplined and they can kick penalties which almost worked.
But for wee lack of discipline in the dwindling minutes, the Pumas would more'n likely've pipped us to the post. Thank you for a great game Argentina. Respectfully yours😊🏴☠☘
Imagine what the Pumas will look like at the next World Cup. I wouldn't be surprised if they won it, honestly. They're showing a lot of positive signs.
Man I am going to give Ireland props for scraping out a win I had the Pumas to win this all the energy for me was heading their way before game …Ireland played under a dark cloud none of them seemed to enjoy none of that game could see it in tunnel body language all that..but they got there but lucky but still they won..Punas gonna be sticking around their u20s go pretty good
Disapointed, very, very close. Anyway, the good thing is that Pumas conitnue playing agaist better teams and showing a similar level. Congratulations to Ireland, world top 3 team.
Anyone has footage of the last knock on by los Pumas? Convenient for Ieland that there were no replays. Anyway, Argentina lost that game. That first half try overturned and the final yellow cost them.
I fully agree with you on the officiating I was raging every time Argentina got on the wrong side of the ruck and t ref screamed it’s available when it wasn’t same as last week if you get caught on the wrong side it should be a penalty right away or go back to allowing stamping if you get on the wrong side you’re getting studs.
@@ciaranbrk well IF the scrum half can get to the ball easily enough then I actually agree that it's unnecessary to penalize the opposition player. The ref SHOULD consider whether the player is making an attempt, whether he's pinned deliberately, etc. Argentina didn't seem to deliberately slow the ball down much whereas Ireland seemed to do exactly that. So given the intention of the players, a good ref should penalise only one of the teams.
I love the way the Pumas play really exciting rugby. I just hope they can keep it up and those blowout games are behind them. The Rugby Championship needs 4 strong competitive teams.
Argentina had their moment but they didnt look very good for most of the game. They hung in with penalties, got a great individual effort try, and nearly pulled off a last minute heist. Ireland have been very lackluster! They pretty much checked out after those first 2 tries.
I think it’s pretty clear we’re finding the post-Sexton transition tricky. If this s a tricky start for the next generation, we’ll be fine. But this is a rough patch with green shoots.
@ I think they might be premature off the back of one sub performance where we didn’t score in the second half. We needed Frawley to get past the Boks in the summer. Writing off anyone in year 1 of a World Cup cycle would be daft. At some point O’Mahoney is going to hang ho his boots too. There are options a plenty, but they need to build up experience across all positions to mount a proper challenge. Still, winning is a habit, and they were ahead at the final whistle.
I'd say it's more post Mike Catt to be honest. We look like a team who are trying something new. Not sold on Goodman and serious questions have to asked of Paul O'Connell. He gets a pass because he's Paul O'Connell but the buck stops with him for our poor lineout performances.
It is not so much about the Sexton succession. It is more about our pack losing lineouts, not being able to execute turnovers and giving away penalties in the scrums. It is hard for any 10 to play behind a beaten pack.
Argentina are a great team, both teams defence was amazing. Ireland’s strike moves won it, we left a couple of tries on the field, just a bit more accuracy needed - Arg defence stopped Irelands phase play. In Irelands last attacking phase of the game Arg gave away 3 penalties, Casey was completely taken out and tackled way beyond play right in front of the ref, no idea why he let that go. Great play from Argentina but it should have ended 25-19
I think your being a little harsh on Ireland there as Argentina are a pretty darn good side so for Ireland to beat them is certainly a plus imho 👍. I think Irish supporters may be a lit concerned that their teams standard in dropping a little through because that's basically what cost them the Grand Slam in the 6Ns.
We were brittle, and the Pumas should've won. We need serious re-thinking about our coaching and player selection policy. The Pumas defence was immense. Contepomi must feel the Pumas deserved more. Not scoring in the second half is incredibly worrying. Prendergast and co as subs were a positive. Wow, we dodged a bullet. Very worried fan here.
Veey harsh yellow in the first few minutes. I am beginning to think there is no such thing as a rugby accident. Moroni was low and Crowley dipping. Its time for refs to accept that accidents do happen and keep the yellow card in their pocket. Its also time for TMO to stop interfering unless ref asks him for opinion. Sorry rant over
Have to say,as an Irish fan, Moroni was very unlucky. Too many pens, the jury is still out for this series. Glad to see a couple of new caps, on the other end Cian Healy 133 caps.... legend.
Argentina le cuesta entrar rápido en partido , cuando lo hace ya se encuentra bastante abajo en el marcador , antes se le criticaba q los últimos 20 minutos donde el equipo se caía, ahora son los primeros 20 donde le cuesta arrancar
The Argies played with heart and passion instead of strategy. They kicked for goals instead of going for line outs when they had extra man advantage. They had the pack weights in their favour and could have mauled it as they seem to have strong momentum in their mauls. Its as if they are keen just to give their Nos 10 free points to accumulate to his personal tally than think for the teams glory instead of his single glory. Stupefied I was of this strategy. Thus was a game they could have won. In fact, SHOULD HAVE WON. Ireland was there for the taking. There are massive problems with Ireland. The transition isn't happening well, but everyone is hiding it. However you saw at the end of the match, their own players seemed baffled as to HOW THEY GOT AWAY WITH A WIN. Their television editor cheated us fans of replays... coz I swear, that last call was to me not a scrum for Ireland to end the game. It was their get out of dodge opportunity. The fans were cheated I tell you, thats just not on. In as much as a cancellation of a try based on an infringement earlier on review, same thing should be awaited before final whistles get made to assess the finish, so no mistakes are made, at least within the last couple of phases as per rules. But this isn't being observed at all. Sure it may delay ending of matches, but .... if the game if for fairness, let fairness be applied and full rules observed.
When someone milks a head contact penalty that results in a yellow card, like Crowley did, they should be sent for a mandatory HIA. Sick of soccer style showboating whenever anyone clips heads
Ireland fan here. I think the silly yellow for Argentina at the start cost them the game. The try ruled out and Ireland took full advantage of the 14 men. Also Ireland refused 3 points at a couple of stages that to me was completely unacceptable or disrespectful. I think the ref was equally as bad for both teams. On the the plus side I backed Argentina +13 so happy days
We survived a tough test but we kept them in the game with awful discipline again although I was very angry at the ref for some stuff like letting Argentina players lie on the Irish side of the ruck. But we got two players capped and eeked out a win against a good side so that’s something.
I don't always understand captains' decisions on the field. I believe Argentina lost the game when they decided to kick for poles with their last penalty, and to not kick for the corner for a line-out on Ireland's 5 yards line. They were 6 points behind then and the three they got from the penalty, did not change their position - they were still trailing by 3. Even if they would have gotten a second penalty later, they would still not have been in the lead. So with 12 or so minutes left, I would have gone for the corner. That would have given them at least a better than 50% chance to get 7 points and lead the test. Even if they had gotten only 5 points, it would still have been better than the three they got. I believe that when you have battled to get deep into the opposition's half and then get a penalty, you ALWAYS go for the corner. It's just a matter of believing in yourself to convert that into 7 points. That is, after all, the goal in rugby: to cross the line for 7 points, not to just take 3 points and then start all over again in your own half. Cheers from Safferland chaps! 🇿🇦
I picked Argentina for the upset, so this was super frustrating at the end. Argentina probably couldn't afford failing to score a try before halftime and as a result left things just a little too late.
Ref didn't see, or did not want to see, the numerous penalties made by the Irish pack in the last couple of minutes. Unfortunately, these games are always biased favouring home nations
As an Argie I feel really proud of the fight at the end against Ireland, it was a really exciting game. We need to learn from the mistakes made in the opening minutes. Well done Irish
I think the take away is that the differences between 1st and 6th on the WR is just down to the day. A great time for rugby
For the record, Ireland are 3rd and Argentina 6th. As Argentina have showed in beating SA, NZ and FR, any of the top 6 teams can beat any of the others. Ireland lucky to edge this one with a team that is not as good as it was.

Talk about shaky. We're fortunate to get over the line there but will take the win.
Thanks to Argentina for showing up and making it very difficult.

Argentina is officially a top 4 team after this performance.
Eh officially they aren't though.
Nah Ireland are just overrated hacks.
Don't think so. Ireland scored 3 trys to 1. Some highly dubious calls
Argentina beat nz and sa this year. I always rate them, if you dont you lose.
They would have to overcome France with some comfort on the scoreboard
what a game, very close but cant wait for the ABs tomorrow, lets goooo
Great game. I really underestimated pumas pre match.
Was expecting a lot more from Irish, but defence and getting into those rucks kept pumas in it.

thats an honest response.... hear hear... some faithfuls still living among the Irish
Was a game to watch. Would have love to seen Argentina get the win. But not to be. Well done to Ireland 🇮🇪 from an All Blacks fan

I might add in handling errors also which need small improvement and to be maintained.
The Pumas are some tough boys, they didn't drop the heads 13 points down after failing to score before half time. They kept plugging away and were putting us under massive pressure at the end. They could easily have won the game.
Ireland are going through a ropey patch, but I don't think we are on the decline just yet. We were decent in the first half, but our ill discipline and Argentinian resolve brought them them back into the match. We need to lower the penalty count, continue blooding new players and get back to some form of consistency. I think we can do all those things, but we shall see as we go through the season.
13 Penalties again for Ireland, same as last week. Argentina should have won.
But they didn't
@@Mo-yd8xc because they robbed
Aye. Deplorable. If the boyos keep that up the losses will mount 🏴☠☘
Argentina as a TOP 5 side without relying on a RWC result is outstanding!
Consistency is building for them like never before.
This Pumas team are up there with the 2015 Pumas
Wow you were up early thanks from Ireland. Not taking a so called certain 3 points could have cost us.
Thankfully the kick of time was a good one for us here in NZ! And yeah bloody close one!
Hardluck Argentina feel like the 1 scrum where Irland got popped the pen went the wrong way but anyway great effort
I would really love to see some day a ref raise his hand for a scrum penalty, flip a coin and that decides who gets the pen. 😂
Argentina could’ve probably should’ve won that. It maybe a victory but Argentina will rightfully feel aggrieved.
They have nothing to feel aggrieved about, they had their opportunity and didn't take it. Frustrated yes, aggrieved no.
Argentina showing they are a seriously good team
I agree. Have been for some time now.
Well done Ireland, pendergast looked really good when he came on. Onwards and upwards 💪
He reminds me of a young Sexton
Reminds me of Larkham when he runs and passes. Hope he gets more game time.
I just think yellow card element is literally, colouring the game in negativity. The croc roll, for example, is crazy, in my opinion. It wasn't around the neck, wasn't a twisting of the torso, just a roll. The head-on-head yellow against Argentina early on was also ridiculous. I mean, what is this all about? These are moments in a high contact sport. None of these moments were close to being malicious. I don't want the game to be ruined by this...
Agree with the head knocks but for me, there should be zero tolerance for croc roll. It’s not the neck but rather the knee. Croc rolls risk players knees which are often season ending injuries.
Croc rolls are very dangerous. My knee was broken that way. All rugby players now how dangerous could be. It’s nasty to use it
The croc roll is about landing on a players leg and snapping their knees. Their have been serious injuries because of it, that's why it warrants such a harsh penalty.
The Croc roll is (almost) never around the neck. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I didn't like the Moroni yellow, Crowley left the ball at his arse and moved into Moroni, and then going down like he was shot holding his face, there is a worrying trend of the Rugby lads hamming up contact, especially the head knocks, looking for penalties/yellows. Missed drop from Albornoz was critical in the end.
Ran right in to him with his head. Then the no-arms shoulder charge to Doris was a definite red. Not sure what game you were watching.
@Camcolito the challenge on Doris was deplorable.
@@donalnotdonald Can't believe that wasn't upgraded, it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. If targeting a guy's head while he's stuck in a ruck isn't a high level of danger what is?
@@Camcolito strange one alright, possibly the period of the game it occured in lead to them letting it slide, similarly bizarre call last week with Radrada getting smashed by Refell which was left as a yellow.
@@donalnotdonald I don't know what's going on, seems World Rugby are just saying head collisions are a minor thing now after years of trying to stamp it out.
Mark you have a handful of Spanish comments that are thoughtful and substantive. I cannot think of a higher compliment for a review with zero Spanish. Congratulations and gracias a todos que escribiban [?]
I'll need to add some Spanish to my repertoire at some point 😅
Argentina have officially arrived. They will go into 2027 as one of the favorites to win the wcup.
They can beat any team on their day as they have proven. The problem for them is that in the RWC they have to have three of those days in a row to win the tournament.
I be pleased if Pumas reach and keep at least 4th rank when 2027 RWC groups are drafted.
Great team. But 2027 is a long way away!!
The head contact shithousary needs to stop in rugby. Crowley grabbed his head, didn't go off for an HIA and then scored a try 2 minutes later.🤔
I couldnt agree about the head contact shithousery. Completely Ruining the game.
He milked it for sure but it was still head contact and dealt with properly following the protocols. At least that's what I saw from the highlights reel.
@Karma-qt4ji By "protocols" you mean the head contact hysteria?
Sinceramente en el ST Los Pumas fueron superiores a Irlanda (que no sumó puntos), de hecho llegaron mejor plantados al final. La verdad sabiendo las bajas sensibles que tenían los Pumas Chocobares, Kremer, Mateo Carreras y Boffelli, deja muy buena sensaciones este partido de cara al futuro para la Argentina. Lo del árbitro sobre el final en las 22 de Irlanda no cobtando algunos penales mejor ni hablar ....buenas sensaciones con varios jóvenes que la rompieron, Oviedo siempre gana el metro, Rubiolo un animal casi como Kremer. García debería ser el medio scrum titular, le da otra dinámica al equipo. Mallia, muy bien siempre. Delguy muy bien. La verdad es que me detengo más en las formas que el resultado. Y hay mucho optimismo de cara al futuro con estos Pumas. Mas que nada sabiendo que la base de jugadores se amplia cada vez mas y que aun con varias bajas importantes, hoy se pudo haber empatado de minima. Ya está, el resultado es anecdotico hoy, hoy me quedo con las formas.
Hopefully this game shows there is good depth in Argentinian rugby - to push Ireland without some big names in the team
That first head contact yellow card was laughable. This entire head contact hysteria is ruining rugby.
watched the whole game. Bluddy good defense by the argies that second half but Irish edged them out in the end, good game.
How important was that dropgoal in the end. Argies definitely deserved a win at the end. If this is what Ireland is looking like moving forward, some tougher times are ahead, farcry from the team winning a series in NZ
Irish fan here in agreement. This team is over the hill and we need to rebuild. Pity we did not start last season like SA, NZ and ENG who so far look better than us.
Argentina will feel that they should have won that.
Credit to Ireland for pulling through. That took a lot of character to do, judging by how the game was turning against them.
A fair comment.
Yep, the flimsy partial character of Williams the last 10 minutes.
It would have been nice to see Argentina be a bit more aggressive with some of their early penalty decisions. They did have moments with momentum. Ireland seemed to be playing all the rugby in the 1st 40. The fight back in the 2nd 40 was awesome. Malia has some footwork on him, but the discipline cost them. Beautiful defensive effort from the Argies in the dying minutes.
Probably lucky to get out of Dodge. Fair play to the Puma's for fighting their way back into the game. However, I think Ireland's poor discipline was the main reason it got so close. We definitely need to improve on this as our discipline was one of our core strengths up until fairly recently.
De Argentina.🥟🍷
La verdad fue parejo. Pero! EN LA ULTIMA JUGADA EL ARBITRO PERDONÓ TRES PENALES A FAVOR DE ARG.
ESTE PARTIDO DEBIO TERMINAR EMPATADO (por patada a los palos) O GANAR ARG. por Try. MUY ENOJADO CON EL ÁRBITRO.
How does McCarthy get man of the match ? Please explain 😊
Did anyone actually SEE the knock-on that ended the game?
Yeah Paul Williams did apparently 😅
Looks like most of the Irish Sports Journos & Podcasters got the outcome of the game correct (one score win).
It was a big improvement on last week but Ireland won't be back properly until they improve at the breakdown, the line out and their discipline. The attack looks static without Mike Cat's coaching and the maul goes nowhere. Anyone asking Big Pauly about that and the poor line out? Surely he must come under some scrutiny. Still I think they will get better . Going to take some time to get back to the pre-world cup form.
I was surprised by how slow the Irish attack looked at times... sometimes they are so quick and relentless you can just FEEL a try is inevitable... but man the Pumas did well to slow things down and looks solid
The only thing I can take from these games is that it's the right time for Ireland not to be at their best. Probably Argentina should have taken us. Hopefully there will be improvements before the 6N.
Ireland penalties, 2 games in a row. Sheesh. There’s nothing between the top five teams, any of them could win on any day. Argentine defence was solid! Ireland couldn’t get a tempo going. Nail biter.
Vamos Argentina. Very impressive team. Unlucky not to sneak a win against a strong Irish team at their home fortress.
Two cents i have to ask your opinion, are irealnd the team to beat these days? Not in terms of world position or quality of the team per say. I just feel like every team really wants to beat ireland at the moment. Would love to hear from other nations fans (undoubtedly the saffas😂) about why or why not. Hear for the craic and conversation. Not tryong to be a bad sportsman. Congrats to argentina on a fantastic year of rugby
Yeah definitely up their with the top scalps right now man
Good defence by Arg but it is not that difficult if you know what to expect. Ireland never looked like they were gonna try something else in the 2nd half. Argentina was so shallow and quick on defence leaving loads of space behind the centres to chip into, even if only to give them something else to think about when rushing up on defence. You must force the defence to divide their focus in terms of what your options are. Ireland were just running lateral behind the gain line or putting up high kicks, usually too deep. No challenge for a reasonably organized defence. Must admit I was dissapointed despite the win. Argentina should not be buying the beer tonight...
HOW MANY PENALTIES WAS THE REFF GOING TO IGNORE IN THAT LAST PLAY?!? I hate crying about the reff but my god the Irish could have pulled a gun out and he would have still played stupid
Ah man I know you hate crying about the ref. Don't do it to yourself, don't make crying about the ref the totality of your comment about this game 😂

They will take Ireland at home eventually. They don't care about reputation or location. Well done to Ireland for holding on 👏🏾
Great game, love that Farrell brought in Clarkson early (55min) and gave Sam Pendergast 20 minutes. Ireland defence is solid but the attack is lacking, Argentina’s failure to exit in the first half on 4 occasions set the platform for Ireland. They were better at exiting in the second half. Like NZ they were happy to soak up Ireland pressure and take kicks at goal. I thought Ireland should have played territory a bit more, discipline and errors were better but I can’t see them working more to reduce them further. Hopefully we will see Casey, Osbourne and Clarkson start next week. JVF looked like his hamstring went in the dying minutes so Timoney will likely start. If Furlong is back I would bring him off the bench. Izuchukwu will likely be introduced off the bench otherwise it would be a lot of changes. I would be tempted to stick with Crowley with Prendergast off the bench again. Gavin Coombs to be called up, Ireland are crying out for the physicality he brings to ball carrying. Cain Prendergast could also be used for that punch. Robbie or Aki off the bench will offer impact.
Clarkson did well and so did Prendergast. No shock there. They way Ireland select you'd think anyone in their early 20s were incapable of playing test rugby.
First half went more or less as you'd expect Ireland to play but that second half, what in the name of god was that? Refusal to take easy 3 points when they presented themselves throughout both halves, kicking away possession stupidly, failing to execute after pushing right up into the Argentine half. Feel sorry for Argentina, unbreakable defence, excellent rucking kept irish hands from making turnovers, caused us to concede penalties, very aggressive pack, no traction with our mauls at all. About as close as you can get between two teams.
Mark mate your the best!
Basically a 21 point swing in first 5.ins and they still ended up within a score....starting to be impressed with thus Argentina team
This is awesome for rugby, so happy for los pumas,any team on the day is how it should be. People are quick to say The ABS are not what they use to be but shesh they are still in the top after how many years of rugby history?
Summed that game up to a Tee. Solid game
The Irish defence is epic the attack is flacid.
Maybe they are slightly changing their attack systems with their new coach.
I was at the game but down behind the posts.
Atmosphere good in spots to shit in places. Too many bell ends going to the bar and getting food during the match. Shame.
Nice to see the young prop getting a good debut.
VDF was on fire jesus he was involved in a lot.
Mc Carthy is a beast but man oh man does he give away some brain dead penalties.
Malias try was crazyyy!!
Hella good!
I need to know why, when Ireland were given yellow cards, Argentina went for 3 points both times.
I understand the first time, get points on the board etc. But the 2nd time, they're a lock down, you're in their half, how on earth do you not kick to the corner and rolling maul it with them being one forward down??
That makes no sense to me.
You HAVE to go for the jugular at certain times in a game and that 2nd yellow going for 3 points instead of the corner will always be the wrong move, especially with a forward yellow carded.
Ireland have an excellent maul defence they very rarely leak more than one try a game Argentina were probably hoping Ireland get ill disciplined and they can kick penalties which almost worked.
I was also thinking they'd go for the jugular... I feel like their missed droppie was a big let off pressure wise
@TwoCentsRugby I just don't think going for a droppie is in our NZ rugby DNA. I felt the same about that too.
Argentina should have won that with they had beelam in the bin. Why drop goal why
That was a very good match.
But for wee lack of discipline in the dwindling minutes, the Pumas would more'n likely've pipped us to the post. Thank you for a great game Argentina. Respectfully yours😊🏴☠☘
If they won that game, argentina would have been 4th in the rankings. Theyve really snuck up there.
It doesn't matter, it was always going to be close after the fiasco against NZ, we'll take the dirty win.
Imagine what the Pumas will look like at the next World Cup. I wouldn't be surprised if they won it, honestly. They're showing a lot of positive signs.
Man I am going to give Ireland props for scraping out a win I had the Pumas to win this all the energy for me was heading their way before game …Ireland played under a dark cloud none of them seemed to enjoy none of that game could see it in tunnel body language all that..but they got there but lucky but still they won..Punas gonna be sticking around their u20s go pretty good
Disapointed, very, very close.
Anyway, the good thing is that Pumas conitnue playing agaist better teams and showing a similar level.
Congratulations to Ireland, world top 3 team.
Well done Argentina, I knew you were going run us close. That could have gone either way. Pumas are top tier.
Big respect from Ireland 🇦🇷🤝🇮🇪
Crowley drop the bal and a stinker in his pants when he saw an Argie is going to tackle him.That was not even a pennalty.
Penalty * and it was
Anyone has footage of the last knock on by los Pumas? Convenient for Ieland that there were no replays. Anyway, Argentina lost that game. That first half try overturned and the final yellow cost them.
Not only did it not happen, but the Irish committed abou 25.000 penalties before that
@@Argenswiss Just stop, you're letting your country down with all your crying.
@@Camcolitodon't you have some potatoes of awful beers to consume?
I didnt see it either, but the look on William's face says to me it did happen. I think if he had any real doubts he would have said play on.
@Argenswiss hahaha don't be such a sore loser. Bad beer? What are you on about?
If you're referring to a certain drink, it's a Stout
The amount of missed penalties in Argentinas last posession was crazy. Piss poor officiating.
I fully agree with you on the officiating I was raging every time Argentina got on the wrong side of the ruck and t ref screamed it’s available when it wasn’t same as last week if you get caught on the wrong side it should be a penalty right away or go back to allowing stamping if you get on the wrong side you’re getting studs.
@@ciaranbrk well IF the scrum half can get to the ball easily enough then I actually agree that it's unnecessary to penalize the opposition player.
The ref SHOULD consider whether the player is making an attempt, whether he's pinned deliberately, etc.
Argentina didn't seem to deliberately slow the ball down much whereas Ireland seemed to do exactly that. So given the intention of the players, a good ref should penalise only one of the teams.
I love the way the Pumas play really exciting rugby. I just hope they can keep it up and those blowout games are behind them. The Rugby Championship needs 4 strong competitive teams.
Yeah man very fun team to watch
Argentina will be number one soon
Contepomi doing fine so far aye
Argentina had their moment but they didnt look very good for most of the game. They hung in with penalties, got a great individual effort try, and nearly pulled off a last minute heist.
Ireland have been very lackluster! They pretty much checked out after those first 2 tries.
I think it’s pretty clear we’re finding the post-Sexton transition tricky. If this s a tricky start for the next generation, we’ll be fine. But this is a rough patch with green shoots.
Prendergast is our man to lead i think, a solid display from him in his 20 minutes first test
@@x-latetv-x6816 Very impressive from him, very pragmatic and controlled.
@ I think they might be premature off the back of one sub performance where we didn’t score in the second half. We needed Frawley to get past the Boks in the summer. Writing off anyone in year 1 of a World Cup cycle would be daft. At some point O’Mahoney is going to hang ho his boots too. There are options a plenty, but they need to build up experience across all positions to mount a proper challenge. Still, winning is a habit, and they were ahead at the final whistle.
I'd say it's more post Mike Catt to be honest. We look like a team who are trying something new. Not sold on Goodman and serious questions have to asked of Paul O'Connell. He gets a pass because he's Paul O'Connell but the buck stops with him for our poor lineout performances.
It is not so much about the Sexton succession. It is more about our pack losing lineouts, not being able to execute turnovers and giving away penalties in the scrums. It is hard for any 10 to play behind a beaten pack.
Argentina are a great team, both teams defence was amazing. Ireland’s strike moves won it, we left a couple of tries on the field, just a bit more accuracy needed - Arg defence stopped Irelands phase play. In Irelands last attacking phase of the game Arg gave away 3 penalties, Casey was completely taken out and tackled way beyond play right in front of the ref, no idea why he let that go. Great play from Argentina but it should have ended 25-19
I think your being a little harsh on Ireland there as Argentina are a pretty darn good side so for Ireland to beat them is certainly a plus imho 👍. I think Irish supporters may be a lit concerned that their teams standard in dropping a little through because that's basically what cost them the Grand Slam in the 6Ns.
Yeah might be right man. Argentina haven't kept anyone scoreless for an entire half this season though - except Uruguay... and now Ireland!
That was an unconvincing win but it's a pleasure to see Argentina's' potential being tapped.
We were brittle, and the Pumas should've won. We need serious re-thinking about our coaching and player selection policy. The Pumas defence was immense. Contepomi must feel the Pumas deserved more. Not scoring in the second half is incredibly worrying. Prendergast and co as subs were a positive. Wow, we dodged a bullet. Very worried fan here.
Veey harsh yellow in the first few minutes. I am beginning to think there is no such thing as a rugby accident. Moroni was low and Crowley dipping. Its time for refs to accept that accidents do happen and keep the yellow card in their pocket. Its also time for TMO to stop interfering unless ref asks him for opinion. Sorry rant over
Cheers mate
Have to say,as an Irish fan, Moroni was very unlucky. Too many pens, the jury is still out for this series. Glad to see a couple of new caps, on the other end Cian Healy 133 caps.... legend.
Argentina le cuesta entrar rápido en partido , cuando lo hace ya se encuentra bastante abajo en el marcador , antes se le criticaba q los últimos 20 minutos donde el equipo se caía, ahora son los primeros 20 donde le cuesta arrancar
Yeah imagine if the first try had been given instead of the Moroni yellow card...
The Argies played with heart and passion instead of strategy. They kicked for goals instead of going for line outs when they had extra man advantage. They had the pack weights in their favour and could have mauled it as they seem to have strong momentum in their mauls. Its as if they are keen just to give their Nos 10 free points to accumulate to his personal tally than think for the teams glory instead of his single glory. Stupefied I was of this strategy. Thus was a game they could have won. In fact, SHOULD HAVE WON. Ireland was there for the taking.
There are massive problems with Ireland. The transition isn't happening well, but everyone is hiding it. However you saw at the end of the match, their own players seemed baffled as to HOW THEY GOT AWAY WITH A WIN. Their television editor cheated us fans of replays... coz I swear, that last call was to me not a scrum for Ireland to end the game. It was their get out of dodge opportunity. The fans were cheated I tell you, thats just not on. In as much as a cancellation of a try based on an infringement earlier on review, same thing should be awaited before final whistles get made to assess the finish, so no mistakes are made, at least within the last couple of phases as per rules. But this isn't being observed at all.
Sure it may delay ending of matches, but .... if the game if for fairness, let fairness be applied and full rules observed.
Yeah I was hoping to see them press with the man advantage as well.... almost got it done with the penalties though!
When someone milks a head contact penalty that results in a yellow card, like Crowley did, they should be sent for a mandatory HIA. Sick of soccer style showboating whenever anyone clips heads
There is definitely a trend of players looking to highlight to the TMO any contact aye
Ireland not as shit as last week summed this up perfectly
New Zealand referee was appalling that was a referee who thinks he’s bigger than the game.😢
I thought he was pretty decent, by standards these days.
Ireland got lucky at the end lol
Well Argentina still haven't beaten Ireland in Ireland , which can't be said for any other top 5 team
Why on earth Argentina didn't take a drop goal in the last play? Maybe they didn't want a draw. Crowley was very good
All the Irish bashing online! Reminds me of New Zealand in 22'😂😂
Ireland fan here. I think the silly yellow for Argentina at the start cost them the game. The try ruled out and Ireland took full advantage of the 14 men. Also Ireland refused 3 points at a couple of stages that to me was completely unacceptable or disrespectful. I think the ref was equally as bad for both teams. On the the plus side I backed Argentina +13 so happy days
Bring back Chocobares and they'd win that I reckon.
We survived a tough test but we kept them in the game with awful discipline again although I was very angry at the ref for some stuff like letting Argentina players lie on the Irish side of the ruck. But we got two players capped and eeked out a win against a good side so that’s something.
I don't always understand captains' decisions on the field. I believe Argentina lost the game when they decided to kick for poles with their last penalty, and to not kick for the corner for a line-out on Ireland's 5 yards line. They were 6 points behind then and the three they got from the penalty, did not change their position - they were still trailing by 3. Even if they would have gotten a second penalty later, they would still not have been in the lead. So with 12 or so minutes left, I would have gone for the corner. That would have given them at least a better than 50% chance to get 7 points and lead the test. Even if they had gotten only 5 points, it would still have been better than the three they got. I believe that when you have battled to get deep into the opposition's half and then get a penalty, you ALWAYS go for the corner. It's just a matter of believing in yourself to convert that into 7 points. That is, after all, the goal in rugby: to cross the line for 7 points, not to just take 3 points and then start all over again in your own half. Cheers from Safferland chaps! 🇿🇦
Dont understand how that croc roll doesn't get a red card 🤔 yet cummings got one for something less dangerous.
Favoritism much....
was close! argentina lacking of discipline is a heavy backpack

Ref didn't see, or did not want to see, the numerous penalties made by the Irish pack in the last couple of minutes. Unfortunately, these games are always biased favouring home nations
