RWC: England v Argentina (Pool C)

@Damo said in RWC: England v Argentina (Pool C):
I'm not seeing much from England to suggest they should be among the top 2 or 3 favourites for the world cup. They look a bit slow and predictable to me.
World Cups aren’t won in the pool stages.

This is all about World Rugby’s lawyers and the fear of litigation. You can sit around and nod sagely about safety, but they’re not doing this because they care about the players. They’re doing it because they don’t want to be sued. But they’ll destroy the game in the process and piss off the advertisers. When games are wrecked by refereeing decisions you have a dud product. People won’t pay to watch it. I paid a fortune for tickets to the Wales-France semi-final in 2011 and was ropable when Warburton was sent off. There has to be a better system.
Warburton deserved to be sent off.
Wales lost because they couldn't convert territory and possession into points.
There is a better system, it's called learn to tackle.
My most effective tackle when I was playing inside centre was right under the rib cage. Get that right and they fold up like a deckchair often spilling the ball.
It's funny how it's all world rugby's fault yet no blame apportioned to Lavanini who's seen so many cards he should take up poker.

how the fuck do England plan to make it through four games and have enough in the tank to win a final. they're fucked,

You need to get out of the pool though.

I’m watching a bit delayed.
The current system with red cards is ruining rugby. Completely ruining it.
17.24 minutes in and I now have zero interest in continuing to watch the game, as it’s over as a contest.
I’m not disagreeing with looking after the players and coming down hard on high tackles, but the system needs looking at.
Red carded player should still be sent from the field, but may be replaced after 10 minutes.
This way the game remains a contest, and the carded player can be dealt with by the judiciary.This is the 7th? red card of the WC!
How long will the playing public put up with lopsided games due to red cards? -

England look Ireland-like to a certain extent. But Lavanini has probably ensured his side head home after the pool stages.

This match is far from over

Yeah just no way Argentina can keep this up enough to win. They'll run out of steam very fast
