    @Steve No one was red carded there, they were just down to 13 men for a period of time.

                  No against NZ. Dropped the knees into Keith Robinson.

                  Umagas reaction to the red was priceless.

                    Spencer getting in there too.

                    Not many other first fives would mix it like he did back in the day.

                      Ah yes. Robinson flopping all over the ruck like a cheap mattress and Shaw nudging him out of the way with his knee.

                            How delicious would it be after that performance for England to lose to both Japan and Samoa?

                                A much improved defensive shift by England, backed up by a George Ford masterclass in bossing a game. Mitchell made a difference for Ford IMO. Some pretty good individual performances but in truth I didn’t see too much that makes me very hopeful. I know we were a man down but I still can’t see any discernible attack. Was this a case of Ford and Lawes saying we’re fucked, so let’s play it pragmatic but give it a lash or do we have an actual game plan for going a man down in the first 6 minutes?

                                Still, a mighty effort but it’s only one game. Oh and the Argies were shit.

                                  I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say Farrell has been Englands biggest problem.

                                  Ford was Wilkinson esque today.

                                  Not many higher compliments for an England fly half.

                                    Clever from England. Awful from Argentina. Feels like a Green Day: Wake me up when September Ends if this is our World Cup showcase

                                    Superb displays from Ford Lawes and Earl though.

                                      Finally saw the Curry incident...have to say I don't agree with the red... no mitigation despite the player jumping in to it.....mind boggling .. I hope that it is downgraded to YC after the fact...

                                      Re the YC i thought it was fair enough - SA should be watching that decision closely as they often clean up the kicker in that manner with a charge down leap from miles back
