Don't really think I will replay this game to many times. Highlights package won't take long to watch.

I think I counted 5 decent attack phases in the whole game.

George Ford scores 27 points. Outstanding performance by the England Number 10.

Is this the greatest red card performance?

I can’t think of a better one.

This has to be the highest score without a try surely.

[Billy Tell]

This is a SA 2007 display from England. Except Daly couldn’t nail the distance penalties.

[Donsteppa]

At least Argentina joins us as another top tier nation who aren't getting anywhere near the Final this time around.

Winning ugly is winning.

Couldn't agree more, not criticising the Poms by any stretch.

[Kirwan]

Of course they score a try in 79th minute. lol

[sparky]

27-8.

[Victor Meldrew]

It's almost as if Argentina thought "England are a forward down, we'll take it up the guts, what can possibly go wrong?"

[African Monkey]

An awful display from Argentina, allowing England to choke them out if the game like that.

Samoa will beat them.

Something we couldn't bloody do

All over. A fantastic performance by England. So much Rugby smarts. Steve Borthwick’s side can take a bow!

Wellington 2003.

Wilkinson...

Well done England - you're still my least fav team.

Accurate loooong kicks and lots of truly contestable kicks from England and the got a large percentage of them back. (Fossie needs to take note of that - but wont)

Certainly a stoic performance.

13/7 penalty count
I look forward to the predictable Chikea spray in the interviews

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

[MiketheSnow]

Well done England
Will go down in RWC history

[BerniesCorner]

ABs aren't as smart as England Yikes
