Yep, good player. Plays at Northampton (Midlands club not SW, that's what threw me). Sone of the head coach Jim Mallinder.

Really enjoying this match.

Great intent and pace from both sides.

Difficult watching at times with all the shadows, especially at the breakdown. It's like Rorke's Drift.

Argentina 17 - 13 England at half time.

Some good tries from both sides.

Launchbury having a stormer.

MiketheSnow

What a match.

Three tries this second half.

Best game in ages

Argentina 31 - 23 England

The crowd is magic.

@MiketheSnow how beautiful was that last try. Silky handling and fantastic lines from the Argies.

MiketheSnow

Bit of a lull the past 5 mins. Monster scrum from Argentina. Destroyed England.

Crowd doing the Mexican Wave. Not because they're bored, because they're going bananas

Bones

That scrum was outrageous, absolutely crushed. Odd that the penalty was for holding on though.

MiketheSnow

Cracking kick from Ford.

Send him to NZ to replace Biggar.

Argentina 31 - 26 England

Brilliant from Ford. Turnover ball converted to a try.

This is a corker of a match.

Argentina 31 - 31 England

Bones

@MiketheSnow Francis with the assist. Is one of them at inside centre?

MiketheSnow

@Bones Francis I think

MiketheSnow

Superb defensive turnover from England. That could have been the match

MiketheSnow

Breathless stuff.

And that's why Brown is in Argentina not NZ

MiketheSnow

Argentina pounding the English line and Hernandez slots the drop goal

That's dumb from Argentina. Quick drop goal with 3 minutes on the clock and penalty advantage?

That'll cost them. They have a habit of losing like this.

Shit tackling, but brilliant finish from Solamona. That's the match.

Argentina 34 - 38 England

Fuvking brilliant match.

That was some game. Well worth a watch if anyone missed it and is at a loose end. Shame one team had to lose.

Crazy decision taking the DG at the end and keep that much time on the clock, but it was that kind of frantic game.
