RWC Week 1: England v Argentina

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby I agree with the tactic. I just don't like watching it.

England are playing smart. You have to give them credit.

The Pom commentators are having a circle-jerk.

[The Irishman]

England deserve credit for this performance so far.

@Kirwan said in RWC: England v Argentina:

Good tactics from England with a man down. Putting scoreboard pressure on the Argies.

Good leadership from Lawes.

If they don’t tire they win

Ford is playing a blinder

That 50m drop goal was a thing of beauty.

[Bovidae]

When Jonker the plonker is the TMO you always expect some controversy.

[Billy Tell]

Pragmatic from England. This game is like a match from 2007. Fairly dull but somewhat gripping. Imo the red should have been for Argentina if there was one to give. Wouldn’t have even penalised curry.

Awesome work by the commentator telling me ALL the overnight scores.

Saves me watching the games with any degree of uncertainty.

Dickhead.

Argentina looking like NZ with non stop errors and just stupid decisions. Who puts up a bomb from a Free kick when you have a one man advantage in the scrum?

[Billy Tell]

Raynal is a bit random but he really does not take shit. As Aussie know well.

Hope to see some rugby this half..

[Dan54]

Thought the red card was bollocks myself, maybe a yc at worst, but if this is how the bunker works f*** me!

See the stat, the England 12 has run once in 40 minutes. It’s smart to play territory and kick 3 but fuck me it’s boring.

[kidcalder]

@chimoaus
Exactly I hope not but reckon it will be the story of this WC . Bombs all day hoping for a mistake... little to no ball in hand
Losing interest already

[His Bobness]

England -especially Ford - showing the All Blacks the virtues of pragmatism. The ABs always seem to up against two opponents - the guys in the other coloured shirts and their own myth.

[chimoaus]

Zinzan and Larkham would be proud of that 50m drop goal.

[Luigi]

Fuck me: Ford ran forward into a space with the ball. Then he passed it.
I’m still reeling.
