@Gunner said in RWC: England v Argentina (Pool C):
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?What if it remains a contest? What if England get a red card?

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

@Bones It’s a stupid system, OK? The NFL alllows unlimited substitutions. Punish the player afterwards, as hard as is necessary. Deprive them of income. But don’t punish the entire team. And DON’T punish the paying public. I’m not sure why this is so hard to understand. It’s a business. It’s about putting bums on seats.

Argentina clearly need a wee bit of fortune in the first ten min of the next half but England probably got this now
-
Fuck England are so frustrating to watch.
They have some fantastic players but they're go to is the mace not the rapier.
May, Watson and Daly should all have two tries each by now if only England could take and give and put the ball in space at pace.

It may remain a contest to a certain extent, but Argentina are now zero chance of winning. Not when the card is given so early in the game.
Zero

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.
2015 English team say hi
Exactly. They didn’t win the World Cup in the pool stages.

Holy shit, Phil Kearns just made sense.
Watching Fox Sport coverage - Phil said rugby needs to go the way of league, put the player on report, this red card rubbish is ruining rugby. He even said send the offending player, but let him be replaced.
