Classic Lavinini

ETA - actually, I don't blame him, but retaliation is always penalised worse.

FFS we lost three line outs while in good positions. Gatland needs to read the riot act in the dressing room.

Good in parts and a lovely try. But the lineout has gone to shot and that is hurting us.

We don't like second quarters, do we?

6 points feels like a let-off.

Sort out the set piece or we can forget this one.

I suspect Lake will be worse.

He remains an idiot, and Dicksen had reversed the initial penalty....which by logic should have stayed reversed as Lavanini went large after the body check. Probably the 'right outcome' morally, but imo not technically.

Lineout's been a real problem and frustrations starting to creep in now. Half time couldn't come soon enough, which given we're still leading, shows how frustrating it's been.

Our scrum is creaking a bit on their ball, and our lineout has gone to shit. WTAF is going on?

I think we just need to calm down a bit over half time and we've got this.

It's so frustrating when we drop off like this, all the more so for being predictable. From the moment Davies dropped that (tricky) pass we've been all over the shop. What could easily have been 13-0 is now 10-6 and bums are squeaking.

For now we're being protected by Argentina still being on the bus. If they disembark any time soon, we're screwed.

IMO: yellow card for Adams (it's not a tackle, it's a shoulder, off the ball, after the whistle), but restart with the penalty against Lavinini for the afters

Bringing the bench on early to hopefully turn this around

I don’t think Dillon Lewis will turn this around for us when he comes on.

My first reaction was red. It was a thought out cheap shot. Lavinnis reaction shouldn't change that and Argentina have ever right to be livid.

That’s never a red. A deserved yellow but nothing more.

Just making too many mistakes. And the Argentinians are well up for this.

Oh well. Lost the game when we failed to take advantage in the first half and lost those key lineouts.

Well we still did better than many people predicted but just not good enough today. Too many mistakes and the lineout failures really hurt us.
