    @Luigi welcome back mate.

    There’s a template there for your mob. Will be interesting to see how they go against a rush defence pattern.

    @ACT-Crusader They will kick even more drop goals. Not much the rush defence can do against that tactic.

      One thing I noted is that when England put up the bomb, they just wanted to cause chaos - get beyond the ball and it is very hard for a defender to get a clear run at a jumping catch. Usual result was a knock on one way or the other and another set piece suited them just fine.

        The Argies gave Ford way too much time and space to kick them, even the ones he wasn’t that deep in the pocket. He will still have to vary his depth because England still like to commit numbers.

          @KiwiPie South Africa have been perfecting that tactic for years

                  Finally got around to catching up on this game with all the travel. That first half by Ford was magnificent. Deserved RC against Curry. Argentina were abjectly shithouse.

                    Once again rugby shoots itself in the foot, just random banning any RWC footage. Despite the fact that channels like Squidge build the game. fluffybunnies.

                      I see @stodders has mentioned Bokke have been doing this.

                      But more to the point England have too.

                      I recall Kafer making that comment about England in 2011. They just throw a man up at the ball and if it's knocked on good.

                            I’d be interested to know your reasons. I don’t see him, or others, doing any harm. If anything it promotes interest.

                              He's fucking tiresome. His videos are terribly edited and offer no insight. His voice is fucking irritating.

                              Other than him, I support the concept of fans making videos and if WR was smarter, they'd support it too.

                                Ah! I got the wrong end of the stick. I thought you were against it in principle but you just hate Squidge.

                                As you were then. 😀
