Dumb from Proctor.

Yep has put us under more pressure.

[Darth Sader]

We’re a very soft second half team - if we have a lead it always feels vulnerable, and if we’re behind you don’t have confidence we can chase. A lot of this is on the coaches (and Razor in particular) and the rest is the drop off in quality of our bench.

Does Beauden have to clear it in that situation? Why not give it to Jordie who has the bigger boot?

[sparky]

We were 21 points ahead.

Then Finley fucking Christie came on.

And now we're under serious pressure.

Dumb selections cost you Test matches.

[booboo]

That shot by us on the hakfback would have melted down Fleet Street if it was in the last minute of a Lions test

[Victor Meldrew]

OK, let me get this right. We're in a bad place, you replace the front row, give momentum to Argentina.

And you take your captain off?

Is this some kind of hardening exercide?

[stodders]

@Victor-Meldrew test?

He really hasn't impressed at test level so far.

I yearn for the days of Foster and Schmidt.

Yep seems crazy and we are paying for it.

[sparky]

@antipodean Not sure.

They (Foster and Schmidt) picked Christie ahead of Roigard. ‍️

[Mattasaurus]

Pumas playing well, keeping the ball in hand and showing some urgency .... some of our boys need to fire up.... feels like we're losing but the score is 31 - 17

[stodders]

@sparky Roigard isn’t fit, no?

[Yeetyaah]

Roigard is injured, as is Hotham

[sparky]

@stodders Yes, but he was available for the 2023 RWC Final. And he was left out of the 23.

Sorry for the confusion.

We had lost all momentum long before the bench changes.
