Well, the Argy bargies of Argentina have created rugby history at long last for the ages as they beat the All Blacks for the very 1st time ever at Bankwest Stadium in Sydney in a historic upset (And the headlines would probably say: ALL BLACKS COP BRUTAL BLEDISLOE IV REMINDER) during the Tri Nations that they will never forget (They join the exclusive club of tier 1 rugby nations conquering the AB's such as Australia, England, France, Ireland, defending world champions South Africa & Wales but it looks like that both Italy & Scotland as the other tier 1 countries in rugby to have never beaten New Zealand) but the Argentinian defence was so dominant & resilient especially the forwards that they won them the test match to register their 1st win against New Zealand (Our next match of the Tri Nations is against the same opponent at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle but can we get payback against them (2011 was the last time that New Zealand lost back to back tests (1st it was against the Springboks at Port Elizabeth & then it was the Wallabies in Brisbane before the 2011 Rugby World Cup in which we won the tournament) & the next Tri Nations game is between Argentina & hosts Australia is at the same venue in Newcastle to decide who will go on top of the standings) & I mean what went wrong for the AB's again to lose another test? Maybe because of a suspension of New Zealand prop forward Ofa Tu'ungafasi causing him to miss the final 2 Tri Nations games as well as a Super Rugby Aotearoa pre-season match for the Blues (He'll be available for the opening Super Rugby Aotearoa match for the Blues which is against the Hurricanes on the 27th of February).
So that is my 377th blog of the year 2020 (MMXX) & my 37th of this year.
