England v Argentina

[Stargazer]

Knock-on!

[sparky]

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.

[Tordah]

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.

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.

And it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

I just think they were expecting an early season hit out to test a few things against a below par team. Think of how the ABs are in their first test of the year.

Plus the focus and discipline is farkin way off. How about winning a turnover because your halfback nails the opposition off a scrum and losing your shit like you've won the world cup? You haven't even won the scrum, let alone the game Ellis, get a grip.

I'm sure Sonja will lead the way.
