Beauty? See England, this is why people are so against you. That was the most ugly win in years. Great drop kicks though, felt like I was at Croke Park!

      Harsh on England, imo. Played almost the entire game a man down and showed excellent game management to beat a team ranked two places above them in the rankings.

      There’s no doubt that’s Argentina choked, but England definitely deserve credit. Just don’t ask me to rewatch any of the match - I’ll be busy watching paint dry.

        Yeah that’s definitely harsh on England. England controlled the game and Ford really showed his class (I’m of the opinion that he should be the first choice 10 for England anyway).

        Argentina were poor, but part of that was trying to force things against a defence they couldn’t breach, with mounting scoreboard pressure and, yes, some bad luck.
