RWC Week 1: England v Argentina
-
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.

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'

That was a painful display from Argentina. Was expecting far more from them which failed to materialise, truly awful.
England probably couldn't believe their luck. -

England probably couldn't believe their luck.Argentina played poor, but a lot of that was England’s fault.
Calling England lucky us just wrong.
