England v Argentina

[Grizwald]

I think it's interesting that all AIs whenever they've spoken about defence it's always about McGuigan - is Wigglesworth not involved in defence at all?
When they first announced McGuigan they said he was going to be an assistant/contact area coach or something

Noticed that. Officially Wigglesworth is the defence coach, I thought and McGuigan is juat an assistant coaches.

Feels like England could be further ahead of where they are if they'd had not been playing musical chairs with the coaching staff.

Has Slade done anything?

I mean has he done anything wrong? It's been the kind of game where he hadn't had to do alot so you can't blame him for it.

I'm a fan of his as a Chiefs fan but their are a few I'd have ahead him for England.

Ford shoulda just taken a quick tap and drop kicked it rather than trying any of that off the tee ********

Jesus ******* wept SHUT YOUR FACEHOLE HEALY

But it can also be the right option when on the front foot, as it changes the way the defence plays, which can create uncertainty, and space elsewhere that can be exploited another time.
Not to mention is still worth 3 points.

I'm sure we had this discussion a couple of weeks ago

Afraid this is a mute point having a recent discussion, do you think the Argies need a fresh reminder of Fords drop goal prowess, pretty sure it will live long in their memory after it was pivotal in their RWC defeat, they would have watched the AB game last week, I stand by it being a great option when circumstances dictate it id rather see what can be done ball in hand, 5 with the potential to convert to 7 is more favourable I know under this context bonus points are lot a thing but are in other tournaments they are.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Ouch, that was soft...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How's he scored that then,
So many defenders to work through

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

LCD's done incredibly well there. Far from being a standard maul try.

Edit: nevermind.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Good lord. That was painful to watch.

 

[Saintjay]

Has Slade done anything?

Slade who?

 

[TommiG88]

Knock on

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is there any separation?

 

[Saintjay]

Damm those T-rex arms.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Boooooooo

 

[TommiG88]

Felt a weird decision to not go for the 3 though with the clock in the red

 

[Crash Hamster]

I reckon it was the roll along the ground which will see it disallowed. Had he got it on the line without the roll, it probably stands.

 

[Grizwald]

Bit of a gash game tbh.

Either psychological damage to a team is a thing or it isn't.
If it is, then exploiting it is also a thing.

You don't like drop goals, at least whilst other options are available - that's fine and consistent.
I'm allowed to think they have their place, and to be consistent myself.

I absolutely disagree that being consistent make my opinion moot

 

[OllyM97]

Decent by England but Argentina have been shocking. Come on the Pumas, at least make it a game ffs.

Stop booing you twickenpricks
