England vs Argentina - match thread.

by **Biltong** Sat 10 Sep 2011, 8:52 am

First topic message reminder :

My prediction was England by 10, so hopefully the Argentinians give a good account of themselves.

This will have to be a great match to live up to the one we have just seen.

Ha ha they're a bloody nightmare! If they could score points they'd be unstoppable!

Come on ref, where's the yellow?

by disneychilly Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:55 am

Scotland will be worried watching this.

by Cari Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:55 am

Vicki Pollard (Hartley) is coming on now.

dr grey, you got your wish!

by DaDubs1 Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:55 am

Can you believe this?! I thought the All Blacks were the best side in rugby!

Not wanting to sart a whlle different debate here, but if that was Bakkies botha, would you still have said that?

It doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not, diving in feet first or with your knees is dangerous play and deserves a ban. A player's past record shouldn't come it to whether they get a ban or not. And if your previous record is brought in to it, then lawes doesn't exactly have a clean record.

How many times has he been cited?

Who Bakkies? Twice from what I remember

can we please leave bakkies out of this...he lead with his knees and will be dealt with

by HammerofThunor Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:56 am

biltong, no. Lawes

by **Biltong** Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:56 am

England's back line passing is poor, every player has to collect the ball from behind him, no one are able to run onto the ball.

by Guest Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:56 am

Argentina are just so physical, all the hits they're making they're stopping England dead in their tracks.

Surely they can't keep it up for the full 80??

by Gatts Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:57 am

argentina getting tired..wilks will come good here

by doctor_grey Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:57 am

kick down deep and drive over for a try. Do not kick from here.

by EnglishReign Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:57 am

Why not kick for the lineout?!

Awful kick again

by Guest Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:58 am

omg that was an abismal kick! dreadful.

seriously something wrong in that stadium.

by **rodders** Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:58 am

Flipping hell thats the worse kick I've ever seen!

by doctor_grey Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:58 am

Bad juju. Take the ball and run - forwards preferably.

by paulscholes Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:58 am

Or England.

I rarely say this. But we know England are capable of more than this. Cmon lads you're letting down the jersey.

by perand25 Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:58 am

What the hell is wrong with the kicking

Didn't feel it this side of the mountains, you on the island or in Vancouver itself?

victoria mate, bought a coffee at 12 40 and felt it....you?

Dead Rear, sorry Red Deer Alberta (the land of dirty oil, pick up trucks and goat roping music). He's hoping there is no monster wave making its way towards you.

by Guest Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

that was poor from jonny again, and england we just cant seem to get any rhythym

by Guest Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

rodders I take it you didn't see Paterson's attempt at a conversion earlier?

by offload Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

This is about leadership on the field. England can win this if they just show some composure. I'm amazed how poor they are.

by Guest Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

Got to be yellow for that

by dubh_linn Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

If england slmehow manage to win this they will have used up a lot of their world cup luck on the other hand if the argies could kick a bit better they would probably already have it in the bag!

by Cari Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

Johnny's got his boots on the wrong feet.

Sorry, Foden upended. Should've been a binning surely?

by MMC Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

Uh-oh........

by EnglishReign Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:59 am

Where's the yellow?! I haven't complained yet but this ref is doing my head in.

by Standulstermen Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

In fairness to Englands point of view that was a yellow for at least persistent infringing.

by paulscholes Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

whats has the kicking been like in the other matchs (if thats not a yellow this ref can RIH)

by nottins Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

That's a yellow card at least.

by doctor_grey Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

good call. now the score.

by perand25 Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

That should of been a yellow

by B91212 Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

Foden has taken some stick. Been Englands best player. Penalty but nothing else. Not supprised they went with the corner with Wilkinsons kicking today

by dubh_linn Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

Should have taken the three tgere methinks....

by Guest Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

Come on ref, you gave Argentina a final warning a couple of minutes ago. Consistency please!

by Gatts Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

10 - 9 final score anyone?

by offload Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:00 am

No. Should only be a penalty as he did not drive him down or drop him. good decision.

by **Notch** Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:01 am

This is the right decision for England. They can win this game from here.

by Guest Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:01 am

yellow for the infringing, not for the tackle though, penalty the right call there I think but only just.

Argentina walking a very, very fine line.

And twas Foden tackled not Ashton.

by Gatts Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:01 am

Hartley looks good in black

by paulscholes Sat 10 Sep 2011, 11:01 am
