How the fuck we let Argentina beat us still baffles me

[ARHS]

Matter Carreras is some player and so is Ben Earl. Well done England

I see Creevy has a “new” pronunciation

That would be Miles Harrison

Suspect it was Rupert Cox (world feed), he of Ardie SarVaya fame.

Creevy = Gravy apparently.

@Stargazer No.

Argentina penalty. Kickable.

That’s where they lost the match

Should have gone for the catch and drive

Agree. 5 minutes left, down by 3, penalty 5m in, 22m out. Your previous maul made good yards.

Did someone have money on extra time being called?

Second half was good.

I think it is illegal. The lifters need to lower the player to the ground.

That is potentially dangerous I would say.

Watch a condensed version, 5 minutes or so would do it. There were a few highlights in there.

Yep. Law 18.29.c

18 Touch, quick throw and lineout

29. Once the lineout has commenced, any player in the lineout may:
    c. Lift or support a team-mate. Players who do so must lower that player to the ground safely as soon as the ball is won by either team. Sanction: Free-kick.

[Kirwan]

What if they catch him and lower him safely?

[Old Samurai Jack]

England looked tired. Hopefully, there is not too much left in the Bok legs, too.

[MiketheSnow]

England are frustrating to watch knowing how many talented players they have to choose from, but you have to tip your hat to Borthwick based on the previous 6N and Summer Warm Ups form

“I'm delighted for the players, who have worked so hard," he said.

"We won six games out of seven and lost one game by one point to the world champions, which shows the progress of the team."

He added: "I've already started looking forward to the Six Nations in my mind.”

[sparky]

England celebrate their Bronze Medals.

Reading the law I'd say it would be legal.
