Argentina v Georgia: match thread

[PJHolybloke]

After 30 minutes it's still 0-0 and Georgia are containing Argentina quite comfortably at the minute, I trust Scotland haven't checked out yet....

Come on Georgia!

[PJHolybloke]

Whers's the gone?

Argentina just taken the lead with a try from Imhoff, Dr Felipe missed the extras.

[PJHolybloke]

Why am I typing to myself?

Raymond! Fire up the Quattro!

[PJHolybloke]

Hang on a minute!

Georgia try and conversion, 5-7 with 40 seconds to play of the first half.

[PJHolybloke]

All by myselllllll-elf, dont wanna be, allllllll by mysellll-elf

[Pot Hale]

Scotland Wake Up!! Rush to your TVs immediately.

Hello? hello?

Palmerston North calling Scotland, come in, come in.......

[PJHolybloke]

Pot Hale!

Who knows what can come of this?

Georgia have looked very comfortable so far and Argentina have no intensity whatsoever, it's still early doors but you never know....

[Pot Hale]

Lots of kicking from Georgia and hope for the best. They're not bad at the scrumming and breakdown though.

[PJHolybloke]

Just the two of us, we can make it if Georgia try?

[Pot Hale]

And just as I say that the Georgian 15 attempts to run out of his 22. They recover well and back it comes to be booted down field. Play stops for an injury to an Argentina player.

[PJHolybloke]

High tackle there. Argentina got away with it though.

[PJHolybloke]

Come on Georgia! Keep 'em out!

[Solent Lady]

Morning. What have I missed?

[Pot Hale]

Hmmm. Puma scrum improving and they win against the head but only get as far as the 22. Another scrum with red put in. And the Pumas mash them and a penalty. Can Contemponi get his kicking boots on - he's missed two already. Nope he goes for touch. But throw in is knocked on. And it's another scrum. Close to the line so I reckon a pushover is on. Or else a penalty try.

Georgia put in but they hold sufficiently and the ball is taken back. Mad scramble and another knock on. Scrum to Pumas on 10 metres. Collapse and a reset.
Round Two. And Pumas mash them. Another penalty. Another scrum. Round Three. Ball goes in and Pumas pour it on. But it collapses and there's a reset. Round Four. Ball comes out cleanly. Pumas attack but they're chopped down near the posts. Breakdown scramble and ball comes back on Puma side. Pick and drive. Georgia repel them four times and give away a penalty. And? Contemponi decides to go for the kick. He's practically under the posts.

[PJHolybloke]

Morning, Georgia winning 7-5 at the moment. Plenty of pressure from Argentina but they look a bit devoid of ideas.

They're looking to pummel Georgia in the tight and have started the secons half better than the first.

Dr Felipe just took 3 for Argentin, 7-8.

[Pot Hale]

And the Bald Doctor steps up and .... nails it.

Argentina 8 - 7 Georgia. For 12 glorious minutes, Georgia had the lead and Scotland hoped. You can go back to sleep now. I think.

[Taylorman]

Hi ya pj.
So if argie dont get a point abs will be playing scotland is that the story here?
Heading in for the 'carter/ mccawless' canada match now.

[NYC Prop]

Might be a weekend of upsets. Long live the RWC.

[PJHolybloke]

Hiya T'man, yep that's about it - Georgia need to nil Argentina on match points and it's NZ v Scotland, to be fair Georgia are giving it a lash aren't they?

I know re Carter/McCaw, Carter looks to be in real trouble and McCaw so far just a rest required.

Gutted for Carter and the WC in general.

[Pot Hale]

Georgia need to win by 8 as well.

[Pot Hale]

And another kick to Pumas. And the Doc nails it. 11-7 now.

[PJHolybloke]

Georgia need to win by 8 as well.

Nil them on match points.

Jaysus, kick at goal "miss of the month" there - just snuck inside the corner flag.

[PJHolybloke]

Come the FECK on GEORGIA!

[PJHolybloke]

BOOM! Big hits from Georgia there on the attack, need to get across the gainline though.

[PJHolybloke]

Great lineout steal and ripping maul, come on you Georgian beaut.... err beasts!

[Pot Hale]

And the Doc dots down.

[PJHolybloke]

Dr Felipe over for 5, looks like that could be the game.

Does his own extras and it's now 18-7 to Argentina.

[PJHolybloke]

3 minutes to go and Argentina are 11 up, sorry Scotland, but out of Argentina and England there should have been at least one win.

[Bristolian]

That scoreline flatters Argentina. Seemed to me that for the first 60 minutes every 50/50 call went their way.

[Biltong]

man it felt like this match was dragging on and on and on.

Thought it was never going to end.

[PJHolybloke]

Weren't the best Argentina display and the scoreline definitely flattered them - no worries for NZ next week.
