Argentina vs England - 18/07/26

[Groundhog]

Haha a few bans surely being handed out for the end there.

That was 100% the correct call.

Good win.

Angus needs to be told in the post match review that what he was doing wasn’t on.

 

[ncurd]

Bottled consistency IMO.

Yeah he was happy for Argentina to do what they wanted.

 

[Groundhog]

Fair play for TMO for standing his ground

Oh **** off. You, a fan, know better? Sod off you biased twat.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

My head hurts.

Bizarre game.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

It's a 2 hour only thing and not completely unprecedented!

It was real. Fair play for doing that 11 times a year.

Probably got bored of Gardner incompetent and embarrassing all rugby refs.

 

[Jimbo]

44 missed tackles.

If we face a team with more of a cutting edge than a spork. We are still in trouble

Idk missed tackles can so easily be a skewed when down men you always tracking and trying to make players pass and go out, I’d be interested to see the overal stat vs when down men.

 

[Groundhog]

Seeing as what Sexton got for calling the ref a ******* disgrace have to assume the Argentinian squad will be summarily executed by Bill Beaumont

 

[Saintjay]

Still think that tackle was high but he let a lot go, so Argentina can't grumble.

 

[Quel Carreleur]

Now to go back and find out WTF happened after the first try, and with the clothesline to JvP(?)

Thing is our missed tackle stats are awful in all games

I agree, and he lets them go for all teams all of the time. He is at least consistent with this.

Yes but we do that rush defence and that type always have a few misses and Argentina are a good team.

Wierd ass game playing with 13 men, defending with 13 we lasted a while and great it by Slade to keep the win.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

dear lord, that was a mess.
Congrats, well deserved.

 

[Scotty]

IDK I kinda think he got it

Really i felt the opposite tbh it was tight though

It depends, Peyper was very scared of Sexton (and discussing his new job with Rassie at the time).

Maybe Gardner wasn't scared, certainly didn't seem capable of enough cohesive thought to understand fear out there.

No dude, you're just wrong here, and have been every time you've made the claim, however many commentators, refs, and World Rugby themselves tell you that youre wrong.

WR are making plans to take TMO out of local broadcaster control, but they're not in place yet (except URC)
This is a known thing.

TBH I just wanted the game to end already Argentina would've missed the kick imo

The Henry Pollock school of thinking.

You can't be scared if you're oblivious.

I have a feeling there will be a lot less concern about the degradation of Rugbys moral superiority in any case.

 

[BrokenWing]

How on earth has Chessum been the only player punished for rushing in during the entire 80 minutes?

It disgraced the rugby world cup to the point all results have to be queried.

Asterix on the champs if I've ever seen one.

 

[Scotty]

I feel sorry for Pollock yes he was offside but it was just unlucky that he was the last 1.

Statistics show gingers are rightly the most picked on rugby players in the world.

Have to do the O'Connell and go bald if you want to be great.

Getafix's potion is on the banned list, there's no way Obelix isn't loaded to the gills - we need proper testing and for their trophies to be stripped
