    Obviously no one wants to lose but the way we are at the moment is a concern

    Well done the Pumas.
    That’s two defeats on the trot for the All Blacks - Foster Out!

    It was Argentina’s 1st game for over a year.

    @azzuriswan - have you offered Pivac a job on one of your busses?

    He’d probably put it in reverse, he’s done that to the team.

    Sloppy and clueless. I would never have even imagined a year ago that I'd be worried about playing Georgia.

    Hopefully, Georgia (USA) will turn up instead ......

    They'd still give us a game <yikes> It goes to show how important a good coach is. Even the best players are nothing without a good coach.

    Great result for the pumas.

    I wonder how much compensation the WRU paid to secure Pivac’s release from his contract at Scarlets.....

    I'm far removed from the goings on back there but on the face of it Pivac didn't look too bad an appointment to me. They'd won the Pro 14 in style. Seemed he didn't do too well the following season though, after losing a few good players. What was the opinion of him at the time?

    Much like any manager/coach I tend to give them a while to get going / bring in players to play the coaches ‘system’...but 6 defeats doesn’t lie. France (close) and Ireland double fair enough - often depends who turns up, but the fukin Jocks at home? I can’t explain that.

    Which other Top 8 rugby nation would appoint him? The guy they walked away from was another New Zealander, Rennie. Now appointed to coach the Wallabies....

    The Scarlets had one really good season under him: they extend his contract by 2 years and 6 months later he’s appointed Wales coach!

    He was appointed/named 12 months early so had ample time to plan ....

    How the hell could he appoint Humphreys as Forwards coach - it is almost beyond belief

    TheRealBubbles I think he would insist that the the coach driver go his way the wrong way up the motorway.....
