Slade has been poor for a long time. He hasn't offered anything for a while.

So does El-Abd get some credit now? The guy's definitely taken some criticism in the past but tonight, our D has been great.
Yeah that's fair but the commentary has been ok
So much promise, that he's just never been able to bring to the international game.
He did have a few matches when breaking through when he would show some sublime skills. It's just that he'd show 2 brain-dead fumbles for every one of them.

Forgot about McGuigan - fair play, big impact.
Can't comment on that. I started on Stan with South Africans, who were fine, ended on Canal+ with Frenchies, who were fun despite me not speaking the language

I think it's too much to expect him to be dropped next week, but I hope we go 5:3 and have Ojomoh to bring on for him in the 2nd half
Great win that. Really impressed with England. The whole pack was brilliant and Ford is an absolute great

Re-watching those tries, Steward did very well on Roebuck’s second
El-Abd wasn't there for the first few weeks of camp, think he joined up when we flew to Argentina - so I'm claiming this one (probably unfairly

Really, really pleasing performance. Good tries and very solid D against the odds. I’m impressed.

The big improvement does seem to have coincided with BM's arrival, so I think you're entitled.
Didn't expect that second half, feels very player driven. Defence was immense throughout
Honestly im a little shocked.
After watching argentina beat the lions, i thought with the numbers that are missing england was on for a hiding.
The first half should be forgotton, it took 40 mins for it to click.
The defence, including last line was outstanding bar a few times we got caught out with argentina going wide.
The attack seemed to change spectacularly over the break,
Nice to see a few new starters showing what they've got on the international stage.
