Thanks for the last line NIA. Very kind.NornIrishAddick said:Possibly the worst Argentinian performance I've seen.
Looking at today's other games, both Romania and Georgia offered more of a challenge, IMHO.
It's important to get the win, though...
Scores would tell another story about Romania and Georgia, but never let that get in the way of a bit of good old-fashioned anti-English sentiment...
You forgot to mention Namiba are probably better than Argentina too.2 -
He didn’t say the other teams were better, only that they offered more of a challenge. Whilst that’s debatable, it’s not anti-English, it’s anti-Argentinian, who were truly shocking.Algarveaddick said:

This Japan Vs Chile game is great. Not fantastic skill on show but super competitive and both sides just going for it.0

It could be just what England needed. A victory from adversity will harbour a real togetherness hopefully. It has been frustating watching England recently, a bit like Charlton, where if you gave them a gun you know they would shoot themselves in the foot with it. There was a lot of discipline and fight on show last night and definitely something to build on.0

Just moving the sofa to hide behind it for the South Africa game. So frustrating that Scotland are playing so well and in a group with SA and Ireland!0

Let's just check you're not English.
No, good... You can stay on lad!

The South African head on head? Definitely - absolutely shocking!. I am really beginning to think the refereeing is not not a level playing field.
Not impressed with the commentator saying something along the lines of if you don't watch rugby regularly (yep, that's fine as many watching don't) but then says because you have better things to do! Not impressed with ITV's coverage, the consistency of the refereeing (and it isn't even in South Africa!) and most of the anthems2 -

Htf is that not a red?!Cafc43v3r said:2 -

After the upgraded yellow to a red for Curry I wondered how the South Africans would keep 15 players on the field. After just a few minutes this happened and not even a yellow card.
England should take the video of the above incident when they see the disciplinary committee with Tom Curry and ask why he was treated different to Kriel the springbok.
Bizarrely yesterday it was the catalyst for England to play well and Argentina going missing.

Finn Russell ran side on and hurt his ribs.
I wouldn't call what Russell did a tackle !
A penalty certainly.1 -

Not comparable to the South African head on - that wasn't even discussed as completely missed by the officials!DRAddick said:

Respectfully, I think England should accept whatever punishment is meted out for Curry's red card.soapboxsam said:Cafc43v3r said:

But the RWC organisers absolutely must clarify why RSA kept fifteen on the park. It was a more blatant red than Curry's.1 -

There is a distinct difference with how the players interact with the officials compared to football!

England will accept what ever punishment is handed out to Curry but clarification why the TMO and the 'guy in the Van' decided to make an example of Tom but let Kriel off Scott free.1 -

Despite my Grandad coming from a South Wales family I'm enjoying watching the open play of Fiji and both teams are playing an open game of rugby which is bringing tries. Defending is iffy.
Plenty more points to come.0 -
