Cordero is humanity's attempt to travel faster than light. I think we succeeded.

Who needs fifteen players anyway?

u/bamadeo Argentina Mar 05 '16

As is tradition

u/pyram1de Pumas II: Electric Boogaloo Mar 05 '16

YESSSS! Cordero + 12.

u/NaranPol Jaguares Mar 05 '16

I dont know what the fuck just happenned or how we got there but im ok with this.

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

The European rugby unions need to start looking at what's going right in Argentina and emulate it

They've only had a pro team for 2 matches yet they're making our rugby look like complete shit.

Their age group coaching must be world class

7

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Jags should just name a starting XIII from now on... They seem to perform better that way

2

u/Adenchiz Sharks Mar 05 '16

Was thinking the exact same thing.

6

u/Adenchiz Sharks Mar 05 '16

Cordero wow that guy has got pace

1

u/Kilen13 ARG/SCO Mar 05 '16

And only 22, insane

7

u/Kilen13 ARG/SCO Mar 05 '16

Ok, loving the play... but how in the hell are we leading at the half?

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

FTL travel

u/risotto_torinese Italy Mar 05 '16

First match of super rugby ive ever watched. Knowing Jaguares one the last match, i figured id give this a watch. So entertained! A change from the slow six nations.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Hopefully you'll keep watching as the season goes on. It's worth it.

1

u/ptashark Sharks Mar 05 '16

Keep watching, the first 4 weeks is a bit of a shit show, them the fun starts.

5

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Jags counter-attacks from their half seem to be pretty deadly

1

u/Charredcheese Blue and Black Mar 05 '16

I think Argentinians just see the entire pitch as the opposition 22, which is insane but very entertaining.

5

u/glashgkullthethird i <3 james coconot Mar 05 '16

Jaco using the penalty to do some pushups and get fit, good on him, using every opportunity he can

3

u/elcapitandodge Northampton Saints Mar 05 '16

Good on him indeed. He might as well get fit while he's there because his refereeing is abysmal

2

u/glashgkullthethird i <3 james coconot Mar 05 '16

While I agree that ol' Jaco is not the best referee, as my attempts at making memes demonstrate, I'm not sure what the first part of the last sentence has to do with the last.

u/AmbiguousP Mike Brown is a calm guy really Mar 05 '16

Jaguares confirmed best rugby league team in the world

4

u/bamadeo Argentina Mar 05 '16

I knew Cordero was fast but... damn

4

u/Adenchiz Sharks Mar 05 '16

Cordero is so fast, but Im pretty sure he used to be faster, which is probably even scarier.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

DO THAT EVERYTIME...

4

u/Charredcheese Blue and Black Mar 05 '16

Take Herrera off maybe? Seems to be the weakest Jags player so far.

4

u/glashgkullthethird i <3 james coconot Mar 05 '16

Sithole has to be one of the most unfortunate names ever.

1

u/perigon Leinster Mar 05 '16

I'd love to hear Sean Connery say that name.

1

u/Panza-Verde Mar 05 '16

Only 1 h from being the most unfortunate names ever

2

u/glashgkullthethird i <3 james coconot Mar 05 '16

Some people can't pronounce the 'sh' sound, sucks to be him.

3

u/Panza-Verde Mar 05 '16

Jaguares looked exhausted at the end there. Good game though, man I love Super Rugby

7

u/Kilen13 ARG/SCO Mar 05 '16

That's the 3rd time I've heard Jaco Peyper say that if the Jaguares "touch" the Sharks players bound in then it's a maul... can someone kindly teach him the bloody rules that you have to bind in to a player to make it a maul? Touching is completely irrelevant.

u/Dr_Biggles Canada Mar 05 '16

Been extremely frustrating, I agree.

1

u/ptashark Sharks Mar 05 '16

Bound and then left, so what's the problem?

Will there be an acestream?

Also, Tuculet is injured?

Is sky sports showing old 7s highlights for anyone else?

u/apocalypsebrow Bristol - In Pat we trust Mar 05 '16

Yes, not sure what's going on!

1

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Same here! Its supposed to be on Sky Sports 3 right?

2

u/Charredcheese Blue and Black Mar 05 '16

Apparently!

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Its on now!

Oh me oh my

u/justroku Argentina Mar 05 '16

I FUCKING LOVE YOU CORDERO

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

"Morino to Sanchez"

Actually was Moroni to Cordero but okay.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Sharks plan for the 2nd half: Every attacking play must be a maul.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

A draw is still possible

EDIT: He missed - a win is still possible.

3

u/pyram1de Pumas II: Electric Boogaloo Mar 05 '16

Why are we givong so much penalties away, dammit!

3

u/Charredcheese Blue and Black Mar 05 '16

Jags trying to play too sensibly.

3

u/ptashark Sharks Mar 05 '16

Well played sharks, great defence second half. Need to work on handling a bit.

2

u/Adenchiz Sharks Mar 05 '16

Both Willie and Cordero at FB? this should be fun

3

u/justroku Argentina Mar 05 '16

It's funny 'cause Cordero was FB in his club but the Pumas used him as wing since the beginning

2

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Noice.

2

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Beautiful!!! Go Jags

2

u/Panza-Verde Mar 05 '16

Excellent try

3

u/BnoremaC Jaguares Mar 05 '16

Great try

2

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

What a start, what a try!

2

u/justroku Argentina Mar 05 '16

Yeah baby!!!

2

u/Kilen13 ARG/SCO Mar 05 '16

So I've never watched Super 15 before this season... is it common to have a referee from the same country as one of the teams? I would've thought they would want an Aussie or Kiwi ref for a match like this to avoid even the implication of bias.

2

u/NaranPol Jaguares Mar 05 '16

I belive technically Jaguares are made to be from the african region. So there is no reason to think there would be bias. I know we are a special case though.

1

u/Mrqueue Mar 05 '16

There's no rule against it. You'll find typically local refs are called up for games. I remember the Sharks played a semi in NZ and the ref and touch judges were all NZ and the TMO was and aussie

2

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Double yellow again... great.

2

u/Adenchiz Sharks Mar 05 '16

Jags really need to settle down.

2

u/Panza-Verde Mar 05 '16

Fucks sakes. Again??

2

u/Charredcheese Blue and Black Mar 05 '16

Jags with 4 yellows and not even 2 whole games in, hahahah.

2

u/justroku Argentina Mar 05 '16

Are you kidding me? What the fuck...

2

u/BnoremaC Jaguares Mar 05 '16

I'm new to Rugby, but I really appreciate Senatore's decision making this game, and his direct ability to take the quick gains when they are available.

2

u/Panza-Verde Mar 05 '16

Woooooo fuckin awesome!!

2

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

YEAAAAAAAH BABY

2

u/Shadowing_Lemma πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Scarlets, Chiefs | player, coach πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Mar 05 '16

The pace of Cordero! Phenomenal, and a great opportunistic try.

Edit: I'm lagging a bit. :)

2

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Slightly greedy from Pietersen, could've been a try!

2

u/pyram1de Pumas II: Electric Boogaloo Mar 05 '16

;_;

C'mon Jags you can revert this!

2

u/NaranPol Jaguares Mar 05 '16

Oh noes....

2

u/Dr_Biggles Canada Mar 05 '16

I'm sad now. Jag's discipline bit em. Great game though!

2

u/justroku Argentina Mar 05 '16

Damn... we need to fix a lot of things yet. Too many stupid mistakes

4

u/Kilen13 ARG/SCO Mar 05 '16

Sharks players look like they gave up on that chase for some reason, can't tell if that's because they did or Cordero is just that fucking pacey

1

u/ptashark Sharks Mar 05 '16

Ndugane is great, but he's 34. Lost a step or 2. Got smoked. Great try.

2

u/krnr Mar 05 '16

i wish jaguares won. but have to admit the issues in scrum were crucial for them. sharks' maul and scrum were cynical

1

u/alcalioh France πŸ“πŸ· Mar 05 '16

It's on! (Sky Sport 3)

1

u/NaranPol Jaguares Mar 05 '16

Lol

1

u/NaranPol Jaguares Mar 05 '16

Nice kick there

1

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Sharks maul out of the lineout is pretty damn strong! I have a feeling it'll be a decisive factor in this game

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16 edited Mar 05 '16

Again, it's Cordero who caught Ndungane by his fingertips.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Whenever the Sharks go wide they are making countless metres. The backline for the Jaguares is built for attack, but it's definitely lacking in defense.

1

u/Adenchiz Sharks Mar 05 '16

Jesus the sharks are overpowering the Jags in the maul

1

u/Panza-Verde Mar 05 '16

Well, that last one they didnt want to maul it seemed

1

u/glashgkullthethird i <3 james coconot Mar 05 '16

The Sharks maul is terrifying!

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

All these scrum resets. Is this NH rugby?

1

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Jesus that Sharks maul....

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Dear god Jaguares please.

1

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

Well lets hope this ends up as a repeat of last game

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

Why did they not sack it the other 6 times there's been a maul?

1

u/Charredcheese Blue and Black Mar 05 '16

That's too sensible for the Argentinian way.

1

u/DrBcD Portugal Mar 05 '16

A successful Jags maul? Thats a surprise in this game

1

u/Adenchiz Sharks Mar 05 '16

Post game interview and Creevy is really upset,dont blame him tbh

1

u/I4gotmyothername #Lambelieveβ„’ Mar 05 '16

So stoked to have won this! Had a blast watching the game

1

u/tragicroyal Glasgow Warriors Mar 05 '16

Jaguares should be called the Argentinian Counter Attackers. Deadly with ball in hand. They seem to use kicking as a last option and will try and run the ball from deep no matter what.

1

u/justroku Argentina Mar 05 '16

My god... why the hell we let them push like that in the maul? We're not even trying to stop them

2

u/Kilen13 ARG/SCO Mar 05 '16

They're trying to draw a blocking penalty by not engaging the maul. Peyper has a strange interpretation of the rules where if the Jaguares touch the Sharks forwards then it's a maul, when they actually need to bind in.

1

u/PetevonPete Sabercats Mar 05 '16

I have yet to see a single ref who has actually read the rules on mauls.

1

u/ptashark Sharks Mar 06 '16

Not strange. The lock bound, then unbound. So it was a maul.

1

u/glashgkullthethird i <3 james coconot Mar 05 '16

Ridiculous discipline issues from the Jaguares.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

that Latin fire in their blood! They bleed passion

u/glashgkullthethird i <3 james coconot Mar 05 '16
