[Dan54]

Thought the red card was bollocks myself, maybe a yc at worst, but if this is how the bunker works f*** me!

Hope to see some rugby this half..

See the stat, the England 12 has run once in 40 minutes. It’s smart to play territory and kick 3 but fuck me it’s boring.

@chimoaus
Exactly I hope not but reckon it will be the story of this WC . Bombs all day hoping for a mistake... little to no ball in hand
Losing interest already

[His Bobness]

England -especially Ford - showing the All Blacks the virtues of pragmatism. The ABs always seem to up against two opponents - the guys in the other coloured shirts and their own myth.

[chimoaus]

Zinzan and Larkham would be proud of that 50m drop goal.

[Luigi]

Fuck me: Ford ran forward into a space with the ball. Then he passed it.
I’m still reeling.

Argentina are monumentally retarded

[Kirwan]

Argies are super inaccurate

Not sure Argentina could play any worse. Props to England for playing the perfect gameplay so far.

How long did it take to get through the first 40mins?>

[Billy Tell]

No upsets from the minnows so far. Romania, Georgia, Argentina, New Zealand.

[Mattasaurus]

Gawd I hate listening to English commentators getting a hard on over penalties.. "Is this Borthwick's big comeback"

Pumas not in the refs good books and their own worst enemies...

[Kirwan]

Argies are choking a bit here, crumbling under pressure

[chimoaus]

Jesus what’s the penalty count, must be lopsided.

[Victor Meldrew]

One of the most bizarre games I've seen

[taniwharugby]

England showing how to play within yourself to win a game, then once you get a sniff ride the wave in

[Billy Tell]

Has been a master class from England. KISS rugby and Argentina have imploded.

[sparky]

Huge credit to England here. They’ve found a useful strategy here.
