England v Argentina

Stargazer

Less than 90 seconds on the clock.

Bones

I don't know whether that's a courageous or stupid decision.

Flats is explaining it well.

But that was a maul that broke apart and ended with a tackle and the English player not rolling away. Refs need a fucken massive upskill on mauls.

Don't understand the thinking Bofelli turned down two points scoring opportunities

England with the ball on your 40 vs England with the ball on their 10. Makes a whole lotta sense.

Stargazer

Knock-on!

Pumas win. Great year for them.

Jailbreak7

I will say that I'm glad we don't have Argie in our pool at the WC

Bones

Argentina will be pretty fucken happy with their year eh! Wow.

They didn't even play out of their skins.

Stargazer

Wow, Congrats Argentina!

Not the best game to watch, but well done to the Pumas.

Seeing England lose at home is always one of the more satisfying rugby experiences

mencey

Argies won. All that matters.

Bones

England looked like the All Blacks in their first game of the season...

Stargazer

So is this because Eddie and England have again put all their money on the game against the ABs and haven't had enough focus on this game, or is England really not that good?

MiketheSnow

Fucking great

Based on that we could get hammered again next week

cgrant

England were poor. They are so slow. With the notable exception of Van Poortvliet's try, they were never dangerous.

Perhaps he’ll use Pivac’s line

Played a battle hardened team and we’ll get better

Yep, they wanted to play rugby more and were way more controlled.

Stargazer

Back to staring at the backside of my eyelids. This interrupted sleep is going to have some effect on my day at work.

Poor Owen Farrell. His side loses and then he has to be interviewed by Sonja.....

Jailbreak7

@Stargazer Think a lot of it is down to Argie improvement. A number of players also based in England clubs too, so familiar with players/conditions/thinking.
