England v Argentina

@sparky Will he though? He seemed a little detached and not as fiery as I have seen him in the past. Used to give the interviewers as good as they gave out, with a few well placed laconic insights. This time he seemed old and out of touch. Plus the England players seem arrogant and inclined to believe their own hype these days.

We’ll done Argies, played more rugby with less ball, showed intent and intelligence. A great try too.
England? Well, not entirely unexpected but disappointing nonetheless. A somewhat leaden performance was likely given a lack of balance in the back row and midfield, no pace anywhere in the back line and blokes playing out of position. But the lack of composure and discipline is unforgivable.

@Jailbreak7 I'd write wily old Eddie off at your peril. As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of cunning.

Just watched the post match interviews
Eddie had a day up North this week with Cheika and the Lebanese Rugby League team
He obviously didn’t take any notice or notes
Just finished the Tonga v Samoa match from this afternoon
Light years ahead in skills and attacking intent in similarly shit conditions

Puts AB loss to Argentina into perspective a bit.
Farrell was a bit of a dick with his attempt to con the ref.
Nice to see England's new approach. Use Tuilagi and the Vunipola brothers to hit it up and Itoje to lie all over the ball and disrupt while Farrell accumulates penalties and Youngs keeps it conservative and safe.
Coles and Van Poortvliet look like good adds so maybe Jones will move on.
Really pleased for Argentina. Boffelli has had quite a year. -
@Duluth That is an amazingly respectful crowd. Or were they bored into slumber?

@Jailbreak7 said in England v Argentina:
Itpje is such a twat
It's a contest between him and ?Dewi Morris? in commentary. Painful to listen to

England won almost everything but the game -

Just shows that bare stats don't tell the real story. England were second best in the game in reality.
Edit: Posted in relation to your first post!

Mate there thought the crowd was really subdued almost from the start
Twickenham crowds seems to be pretty good these days compared to about 5-10 years ago, which is good to see.

@Daffy-Jaffy first Seibold now Hodgson. What’s with the Aussie leaguies for defence coaches?
