Nah
He pulled out of that but was already committed

Whateva...if you give yellow for a hand in the ruck...consistancy please. Argentina played afterwards with 14 men.

4 from 4 this autumn, I’ll take that. Haven’t seen the game but was listening to it on the radio, genuinely the worst radio coverage I’ve ever heard, no idea where the ball was on the field or who had it most of the time. Just inane comments about how people feel.

Were you just doing text to speech from the fern?

That’s a separate issue

Sounds 10 times better than Healy

Hell, I thought it was barely a penalty, Curry tackled him not even a second after the ball left his boot.

Fuck off Felipe
If you were worried about player safety you would have stretchered off a player ‘with a broken knee’
-
Good teams find a way to win
This England team is good
-
And Argentina's woes were all on Felipe for selecting a 6-2 bench

I am sick to death of British teams cheating with these constant TV slow-mo replays.
Yeah. Though I missed the bit where the British teams gained control over teh TV coverage and subsequent officiating.

Went to HQ and watched it live, something of a muted atmosphere for much of the game. I've since watched the recording and some of my initial thoughts were reinforced and some I had to take a different view on
In general I thought that we went back to a poor kicking game, many of the kicks looked uncontestable or was it just that teh chase was not as good. The former I feel. Spencer in particular put up bomb after bomb that we couldn't get anywhere near. His kicking for touch clearances though were pretty good. Ford not as bad with the kicking game but overdid it a little. Live I felt that Daly had an OK game, from teh recording I had to change my mind, he looked a little off the pace and his decision making lacked precision. Steward had his best game for England for quite a while but still is not the answer. M Smith not the answer either but I would have liked to see him come on with 20 minutes to go.
From the TV it felt to me that it was a muted England performance though in the first half you could have said the same for the Argies. Second half they really had the energy and we seemed to have lost it. Curry's tackle on the Argie 15 was only a fraction late, he was committed and looked as though he was trying to lessen the impact. Penalty the correct call, the injury was just unfortunate. Both disallowed tries were the correct calls and yes the ref should have wound the clock back for the Argies after their disallowed try.
Take aways for England:
-
Spencer is third choice 9 at best. Give Quirke a go or fall back on JVP.
-
Daly is no longer good enough or fast enough to play on the wing for England. We have a number of better options.
-
Ojomoh, could be the answer, at last, to England's problems at 12 - early days though.
-
We need Furbank back at 15
-
Ewels continues to be a waste of a large amount of space.

-
This is the same player who accused bongi of calling him naughty names. Such a gentleman

Argentina > All Blacks in 2025.
I think their backs overall performed worse than the ABs. But their forwards because of how their loosies played were better.
