RWC Week 1: England v Argentina

[MiketheSnow]

I think I would have been inclined to let this match go and focus on the other two matches to secure a place in the QF

Playing unfit / not match fit players against your toughest opponent could come back to haunt Borthwick

[Bones]

Looking forward to seeing how Steward goes at LH, that height may be a hindrance.

The game will hinge on Cole at flyhalf though, will he bring his A game?

great first weekend. Us and the Frogs. Boks v Scots, and this game.

And Wales v Fiji should be a cracker I reckon.

Argies have played some pretty good footy, the problem is that it generally lasts about 20-40 minutes over the 80. They have a good core of players with a couple of quick outsides and some experience.

This version of Cheika-ball puts a lot of pressure on the 8-9-10 controlling the attack. Less of a pod system and more conventional attack.

@Machpants

Yeah I think he’s got a niggle. Hamstring maybe?

[Mackerzzzz]

If that choir is going to sing every national anthem this world cup it's gonna really piss me off by the end

[African Monkey]

Could be red for Curry.

[Billy Tell]

YC for a complete accident. Even my daughter said so.

[MiketheSnow]

That should be upgraded

[Stargazer]

Surely there will be enough mititgation to NOT have it upgraded? Although ... he could have foreseen that the player would change height, so maybe you can't call it sudden?

[Stargazer]

Ugghh, another TMO review. More minutes of stoppage.

[African Monkey]

Could be 2 reds now if Carreras gets upgraded to red.

[Stargazer]

Now that's really stupid. Another card.

Both were so avoidable.

I don't see how that was a red. Curry's maybe but really should only be a yellow.

[taniwharugby]

Didn't see the 1st one, but that one should stay yellow.

[Bones]

Oh come on. That's a yellow.

Justice though.

[Mackerzzzz]

Both of those a bearly penalty

[hydro11]

That's tough for Curry. The player just fell in front of him. Surely that is mitigation.
