En sábado nocturno
melancólico por el clima porteño, los All Blacks jugando mal, golearon a los Pumas
por 35-17 (5 a 2 en los tries) y se proclamaron tricampeones en el 7º Rugby Championship, cuya quinta y penúltima
fecha se disputó en el Estadio José Amalfinati del Club Vélez Sarsfield y en el
Estadio Nelson Mandela Bay de Port Elizabeth, donde los Springboks ganaron a
los Wallabies por 23-12.
En la noche de la Ciudad
Autónoma de Buenos Aires, los All Blacks sin Luke Whitelock, Kieran Read, Brodie Retallick y Owen Franks, celebraron el tercer título de campeón
consecutivo (ganaron 6 y Australia conquistó el certamen reducido de 2015), dominando
el scrum, y lines, y poniendo de relieve defensa y destreza a a partir del centro Sonny Bill Williams
(que incluso tuvo tarjeta amarilla). Los All Blacks que en
los pronósticos tenía ventaja de 15 puntos, ganó de 18, en partido mediocre y con equipo de suplentes
que no jugó bien, aunque destacó en su disciplina para aprovechar los errores
del equipo argentino que cometió penales reiterados en su primera línea ; y sus
tres cuartos carecieron de tackling en el fondo, con los porteños Matías Moroni, Bautista Delguy
y Sebastián Cancelliere. Por lo que los únicos
que cumplieron su cometido para frenar a Waisake
Naholo, Ryan Crotty, Sonny Bill Williams, y Rieko Ioane, fueron el full back rosarino Emiliano Boffelli y el
centro rosarino Jerónimo De La Fuente, quién sobre el final contó con su
compañero de siempre el tucumano Matías
Orlando, que reemplazó al porteño Bautista Ezcurra, de
frágil actuación en el centro de la
cancha. Además no aprovecharon
un hombre menos de Nueva Zelanda cuando salió por tarjeta a amarilla el centro
Sonny Bill Williams entre el final del primer tiempo y comienzo del segundo,
donde se mantuvo la diferencia kiwi de 21-3. Y fue el mismo Sonny Bill Willians
en magistral penetración por el centro de la cancha , a lanzar al try a Rieko
Ioane a los 54´ de juego.
Marcaron para Argentina, 2 tries el medio scrum suplente,
el porteño Tomás Cubelli (en un doble movimiento), y el full
back rosarino Emiliano Boffelli, más 1 penal y 2 conversiones de apertura
tucumano Nicolás Sánchez. Para Nueva Zelanda, 5 tries de Rieko Ioane 2, Waisake Naholo, Patrick Tuipulotu, Anton
Lienert-Brown, y 5 conversiones de Beauden Barrett y 1 de Richie Mo’unga.
Tras cinco jornadas Nueva Zelanda es 1º con
21 puntos, 2º Sudáfrica con 14, 3º Argentina
con 8 y 4º Australia con 5 unidades. Sexta y última ronda el próximo sábado con
Argentina vs Australia,
en el Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena de la Ciudad de Salta y Sudáfrica
vs Nueva Zelanda en el Estadio Loftus Versfeld de la Ciudad de
Pretoria. The All Blacks playing poorly, thrashed the Pumas and
were proclaimed three-time champions On Saturday night melancholic weather Buenos Aires, the
All Blacks playing poorly, thrashed the Pumas by 35-17 (5 to 2 in the tries)
and were proclaimed three times Champions in the 7th Rugby Championship, whose
fifth and penultimate round was played
at José
Amalfinati Stadium of Vélez Sarsfield Club, and at the Nelson Mandela Bay
Stadium in Port Elizabeth, where the Springboks won Wallabies by 23-12. On
the night of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the All Blacks without Luke
Whitelock, Kieran Read, Brodie Retallick and Owen Franks, celebrated the third
title of consecutive champion (they won 6 and Australia conquered the reduced
contest of 2015), dominating the scrum and lines, and highlighting defense and skills
from centre Sonny Bill Williams (who
even had a sin bin).
The
All Blacks, who had 15 points advantage in the predictions, won by 18, in a
mediocre match and with a substitute team that did not play well, although they
excelled in their discipline to take advantage of the errors of the Argentinian
team that committed repeated penalties
in their front row ; and
his backline lacked tackling in the
background, with Matías Moroni, Bautista Delguy and Sebastián Cancelliere from
Buenos Aires. So
the only ones who did their job to stop Waisake Naholo, Ryan Crotty, Sonny Bill
Williams, and Rieko Ioane, were full back from Rosario Emiliano Boffelli and centre
from Rosario, Jerónimo De La Fuente, who on the final match had his partner of
always Matías Orlando from Tucumán, that replaced Bautista Ezcurra from Buenos
Aires, of fragile action in the center of the pitch. In addition they did not take advantage of a man
less than New Zealand when left by sin bin the centre Sonny Bill Williams between the end of the
first half and beginning of the second, where the kiwi difference of 21-3
remained. And
it was the same Sonny Bill Willians in masterful penetration by the centre of
the pitch, to throw the try to Rieko Ioane at 54' of play.
They scored for Argentina, 2 tries the substitute scrum half, Tomás Cubelli from Buenos Aires (in a double movement), and the full back Emiliano Boffelli from Rosario, plus 1 penalty goal and 2 conversions of fly half from Tucumán Nicolás Sánchez. For New Zealand, 5 tries by Rieko Ioane 2, Waisake Naholo, Patrick Tuipulotu, Anton Lienert-Brown, and 5 conversions of Beauden Barrett and 1 of Richie Mo'unga. After five rounds, New Zealand is 1st with 21 points, 2nd South Africa with 14, 3rd Argentina with 8 and 4th Australia with 5 points. Sixth and last round next Saturday with Argentina vs Australia, at the Padre Ernesto Martearena Stadium of Salta City, and South Africa vs New Zealand at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria City.
