RWC Week 1: England v Argentina
-
Wheels to fully fall off the chariot and Argentina to canter home
-
great first weekend. Us and the Frogs. Boks v Scots, and this game.
-
If England win this one, which I doubt, then we’re a good shout for a semi-final spot. If that happens, I’m not sure how I’d feel. Great to be there, but do we deserve it and would it allow the gin swillers to paper over the cracks?

The rest of us will just put it down to a favourable draw.

And unless something drastically changes in the England camp you’d all be right

That's very magnanimous of you for dedicating nearly 20 years of your life on an internet forum waiting for justification to say "Very magnanimous"...

This doesn't mean we weren't robbed blind
But a win I'd a win, and however it is achieved it's deserved.

There are other reasons to spend time Ferning. For instance trying to ascertain how many times @MN5 can post the same meme or waiting for that elusive post from @Tim that everyone can understand.
There's lots on here really.

The Times suggesting this team
Steve Borthwick: England players have been written off too early
Steve Borthwick has said that his players are fired up for the World Cup by the English public having written off his side too early.

I'd think that's pretty close if not spot on. Something of a contradiction though. 2 initial non-selections and then 2 "always going to be there despite being injured and not having any game time".
All a bit muddled for me.

I think I would have been inclined to let this match go and focus on the other two matches to secure a place in the QF
Playing unfit / not match fit players against your toughest opponent could come back to haunt Borthwick
