RWC Week 1: England v Argentina

[Victor Meldrew]

Lawes is playing a blinder

@chimoaus and the way players are doing what Barrett got carded for...so easy for that to go very wrong

[sparky]

So we now know what England have been practising in secret under Borthwick.

Drop goals….

[Stargazer]

Did Matera change his position? It looked like the English player just ran into him.

[chimoaus]

5 drop goals is the record btw.

[game_film]

What a f’n embarrassment

[Stargazer]

@chimoaus Way too many IMO. They don't even try to score tries anymore.

Yep worst Argentinian performance in awhile.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer they are playing to win, they know they are less likely to score, is smart by England against a dumb Argentinian side

[hydro11]

England are playing smart. You have to give them credit.

England butchered a certain try and screwed up another arttack.

[Kirwan]

Good tactics from England with a man down. Putting scoreboard pressure on the Argies.

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby I agree with the tactic. I just don't like watching it.

The Pom commentators are having a circle-jerk.

[The Irishman]

England deserve credit for this performance so far.

Good leadership from Lawes.

If they don’t tire they win

Ford is playing a blinder

That 50m drop goal was a thing of beauty.

[Bovidae]

When Jonker the plonker is the TMO you always expect some controversy.

[Billy Tell]

Pragmatic from England. This game is like a match from 2007. Fairly dull but somewhat gripping. Imo the red should have been for Argentina if there was one to give. Wouldn’t have even penalised curry.
