RWC Week 1: England v Argentina
-
Finally saw the Curry incident...have to say I don't agree with the red... no mitigation despite the player jumping in to it.....mind boggling .. I hope that it is downgraded to YC after the fact...
Re the YC i thought it was fair enough - SA should be watching that decision closely as they often clean up the kicker in that manner with a charge down leap from miles back

@sparky argies scrum hasn't been much cop for years.
-
@taniwharugby Yep, but tell that to certain sections of the UK media.

If they don’t tire they win
Ford is playing a blinder
That 50m drop goal was a thing of beauty.
And it cleared the bar easy. Was a great strike.
While some might bemoan it, if you’re an opposition and you know there’s a guy on the other team that is a threat any time they are in their half, that does change the mindset.
Well done England. Argentina were poor

Desperately boring game of football, but so smart from England.
Take all speed out of the game, take all points on offer. Text book way to play a man down. Defended really well and completely shut Argentina out of it.Pumas were clueless. England were smart. Ford was brilliant

It doesn't help the ABs that they play a team as dumb as the Argies every year. Talk about lulled into a false sense of security.
England with a Ford-Tuilagi 10-12 axis are much better.
they beat us in Aus, and then here last year. How you ask? No idea
leaving Super has not been good for them

How anyone can think that game was boring is beyond me.
1 million %
It’s getting really fucking old that certain posters think that if Meg can’t say ‘razzle dazzle’ 10 times a match then the match is not worth watching
This was chess of the highest order, which will always frustrate those who can only play & appreciate draughts

Great description of England from the Guardian:
“ Their team have turned up for the biggest party in the sport in a work shirt, a sensible pair of shoes and with hours of chat about the best way to navigate around the roadworks on the way back. God, but you don’t want to get stuck in a corner with them. Which was exactly the mistake Argentina made.”

With you Mike, I never took eyes off the game. Mid you I one of those dinosaurs who think one of the beauties of our game is the different ways you can play it'
