Sport has always been a
way of bringing people together. Yes, people are brought together, different
races, colours and some differ because of the economy class.
Rugby is recognised as one of the
dangerous sports, but its’ still played. It is a full contact sport with a
relatively high overall risk of injury and small specific risk of fatal and
catastrophic spinal injury. The sport requires and involves two teams, each
with fifteen players.
The game consists of two 40-minute halves. In real time can be completed around 100-120 minutes.

Argentina hosted Australia in Mendoza on
Saturday. This match was the first rugby Champion fixture in Argentina since
2019. It was also a first home fixture for Los Pumas against the Wallabies
since 2018. Argentina scored two tries in the first six minutes and went to
beat Australia 48-17 on Saturday, posting its’ largest-ever win over the
Wallabies and moving atop the Rugby Championship after two rounds.
Flyhalf James O’Connor converted and
kicked a penalty to reduce Argentina’s lead to four points at 14-10. He then
appeared to have scored a go-ahead try for the Wallabies in the 20th minute
after an exchange of passes with Petaia. Afterall their try was not allowed
when the referee determined Slipper had up-ended Pumas backrower Pablo Matera
at the preceding breakdown.
A man of the match was
named after Gallo scored his second try in 1hr3min.
“We’re disappointed,”
Slipper said.
“Off the back of a good performance last
weekend we really wanted to back it up. We dropped our standards today. I
thought the Argentinians were really good and got momentum with the crowd
behind them. They’re a tough team to play catch-up footy against,” Australia
head coach Dave Rennie agreed.
“Massive disappointment, that’s not good
enough,” Rennie said. “We conceded four tries with kicks in behind us and got
dominated in the collision area. We created plenty of opportunities, but we
have to be patient, we just weren’t clinical enough,” he added.
Went around the
community of Soshanguve and asked around, was the match fair or not.

As much as the match

sharing how bad the commentator was throughout the match.
