I shouldn’t really be surprised, half the Pumas play their rugby in the heartland of the French game but why can’t we get past these guys. And why the hell when Hadden claims we’ve ‘tried and practised a number of ways of playing the game’ did we pick that crappy high ball affair which was little more than a mirror of their gameplan ? We’d've been far better off letting Parks keep them back in their own 45′ and pick off the points as the Argie indiscipline began to lapse from Patterson’s boot.

Sigh…I foretold this as a low score, tight and attritional game. Damn I hate it when I’m right. Now I have to suffer the additional indignity of hearing Ingerlund fans talking up their chances for the remainder of the event.

Bollocks I hate it when we lose, but I hate it even more when we lose and play with such crashing mediocrity. Nods to the Lamont brothers, moments of honest crash-ball heroics. Dan Parks for his kicking from hand and Patterson keeping us within striking range until the final minutes.

Ah well…
