Eng v Argies

A red in world cup is a real damper...the same happened to Pumas in 2019, when Tomas Lavanini fouled up. 

Penalise the player harshly by banning and fines but not the team or the spectators. Something should be done to allow a sub.

Cheika is a clown. He has the most talented backline in SH rugby, with a good selection of forwards and he can do nothing with them. Rudderless like his Wallaby sides when they hit resistance. 

The ridiculous red card has irked me to the point where I barely feel like following the rest of the season. Rugby is a collisions port. Collisions happen. The standard of reffing I've seen the past few years has been some of the worst I've seen ever, in any sport. 

Cheika is of the Aussies who love the gas particle offence. Free flowing in any random way. Players often lament the lack of detail and preparation of these kinds of coaches. It's the opposite extreme to Erasputin and the subordinate who does all the work for him. 

England's form is looking ominous. They have been a team that can raise their levels at world cups tournament rugby.

1 game is not form. Argentina where woeful in this game.

Argies have been to the same “How to get on the wrong side of the Ref” school as the ABs…….

bravo England .. ............ woeful Argies

Thanks, chaps . 

Certainly a better performance than we’re used to seeing from England of late. 

Yet another boring game that I struggled to stay awake through. Well done to Ford who completely controlled the game with the boot and to build score board pressure. But where did I see a team play like this. 

Oh, the boks that got some much criticism for their boring play. 

Ford use the exact same tactic the boks use with constantly peppering the wings with cross field kicks where players put pressure on the winger, but didn't kick it too deep. 

So many kicks. 

Well, when you have a player Like Ford that only skill is to kick, then why bother. 

The red card is another thing that is ruining the game. But we'll done for England for changing tactics and playing a smart game 

They did their job and in RWC stages that's what you have to do but it was a lack-lustre mess with Argentina, some players were good but the majority were awful.

Anyway congrats Mr Ford, a splendid display of the boot.

Agree, they did what they needed to do. England solid but not spectacular. 

Having someone that can drop kick is great. It will force defending to shoot out of line, but this can also open up space out wide
