RWC Week 1: England v Argentina
-
It doesn't help the ABs that they play a team as dumb as the Argies every year. Talk about lulled into a false sense of security.
England with a Ford-Tuilagi 10-12 axis are much better.

they beat us in Aus, and then here last year. How you ask? No idea
leaving Super has not been good for them

@Tim not the harshest RC of the past few years, of course it is the harshest so far, being the first, but unlikely the last one we will see at this RWC

How anyone can think that game was boring is beyond me.

It’s getting really fucking old that certain posters think that if Meg can’t say ‘razzle dazzle’ 10 times a match then the match is not worth watching
This was chess of the highest order, which will always frustrate those who can only play & appreciate draughts

Stolen from Twitter - but it was my own tweet I stole from.
Everyone: You don't win World Cup games with drop goals any more.

Great description of England from the Guardian:
“ Their team have turned up for the biggest party in the sport in a work shirt, a sensible pair of shoes and with hours of chat about the best way to navigate around the roadworks on the way back. God, but you don’t want to get stuck in a corner with them. Which was exactly the mistake Argentina made.”

With you Mike, I never took eyes off the game. Mid you I one of those dinosaurs who think one of the beauties of our game is the different ways you can play it'

That was a painful display from Argentina. Was expecting far more from them which failed to materialise, truly awful.
England probably couldn't believe their luck. -

England probably couldn't believe their luck.Argentina played poor, but a lot of that was England’s fault.
Calling England lucky us just wrong.

England go back to being England: points are points. As long as you have more than the other bloke.
@NTA That's generally how games are won...

@Mackerzzzz said in RWC: England v Argentina:
Complete bullshit what was he supposed to do?
This is just another example of needing the traffic light system. England should be able to replace after 20.
@chimoaus Or, alternatively, learn how to tackle.
One of the arguments in favour of the 20 minute replacement is that an early red penalises the team for the mistake of one player.
But in the case of England, it's clearly a systematic, recurring, collective problem.
