[RWC2023 Bronze Final] Argentina vs England (27/10/2023)

[TRF_Olyy]

Smith at 15 must anger the opposition because he gets ******* clobbered when he plays there

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

An Underhill special there

 

[Booboobang]

His issue is he is pretty thick and gives away so many penalties.

Old enough to remember when this was dan cole when he thought he was actually a 7.

 

[Geordie]

He started last week

And if SB can't persuade him to stay on for the 6n etc...he'll be retiring.

Glad the rain has passed and I tuned in. England do not score that try without a second back who can actually pass the ball. I actually kind of like watching them when they play with in this style. Yes, there is still loads of kicking but there is at least some ambition and unpredictability. England playing like this should be targetting 2nd in the 6N, with 3rd as the absolute minimum.

Gardeners World isn't getting a look-in tonight.

Smith at 15 is not it.

Smith in the match day side is, but not at 15...

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Good reffing that.

 

[Geordie]

I've heard for several years now Stuart has potential it just needs to come out...we'll I'm still waiting. He just offers so little.

Maybe he should play hooker

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

First time Earl’s taken a backwards step this tournament

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Why do all our players stand so far back from the main runner when we don't attempt to actually pass back to them? It keeps making our runners isolated.

 

[Wasps92]

Would be nice to see one of our wingers get a touch.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Seeing England go for drop goals in a third place playoff where many of these players are retiring, is quite depressing

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Arundell's kit is comically clean stood next to the forwards there,
I thought he was a sub at first

Pretty pointless selection if you are going to play this style. Go with your big guys who can compete on the bombs. So silly to have him there if you arent actually going to get it into his hands.

 

[Jashay]

Has Arundell actually touched the ball apart from one kick to him?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Kremer’s spilt just about every ball he’s taken into contact so far.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Underhill special number 2

 

[Booboobang]

Argentinas handling all tournament has been dire. For a team known for playing 'silky rugby' they have been poor

 

[Scotty]

Slowmo of curry then underhill both hitting you...ouch
