@Steve No one was red carded there, they were just down to 13 men for a period of time.
Fair cop....Im mixing that game up with Simon Shaw getting red in 2004.

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.

England totally destroyed the much hyped Argentine scrum.
The Argentinian scrum hasn't been hyped for years.

An optimistic Welsh man

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.
-
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
-
@sparky argies scrum hasn't been much cop for years.
@taniwharugby Yep, but tell that to certain sections of the UK media.

If they don’t tire they win
Ford is playing a blinder
That 50m drop goal was a thing of beauty.

And it cleared the bar easy. Was a great strike.
While some might bemoan it, if you’re an opposition and you know there’s a guy on the other team that is a threat any time they are in their half, that does change the mindset.
Well done England. Argentina were poor
-
Desperately boring game of football, but so smart from England.
Take all speed out of the game, take all points on offer. Text book way to play a man down. Defended really well and completely shut Argentina out of it.Pumas were clueless. England were smart. Ford was brilliant

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.

leaving Super has not been good for them
