RWC Week 1: England v Argentina
-
As a coach, Cheika makes Foster look like a savant.

I am happy to be critical of this sort of game - not dismissive - would love to see the penalty count too.
But as others have said its effective and simple - and in my opinion an awful spectacle.
not surprised its a French Ref involved either - that said, its hard to disagree with many of the penalties - a few 50/50s and scrum calls could have potentially gone the other way but that's nothing unusual.
Pumas have been exceptionally poor with basic skills and options - and the English have been simple and effective playing territory and taking the points on offer. -
Thing is I want to get RM, DMac, BB in a room and make them watch this game, ad nauseam. THIS IS YOU SHAPE AND CONTROL A GAME. Especially when a player down. Change it up. Do something different, something the opposition wont expect. Make it work for YOU.

Fuck me, Argentina win a penalty.

Don't really think I will replay this game to many times. Highlights package won't take long to watch.
I think I counted 5 decent attack phases in the whole game.

This is a SA 2007 display from England. Except Daly couldn’t nail the distance penalties.

Winning ugly is winning.
Couldn't agree more, not criticising the Poms by any stretch.

It's almost as if Argentina thought "England are a forward down, we'll take it up the guts, what can possibly go wrong?"
