[EOYT] England vs. Argentina 09/11/13

[HenryChinaski]

Leguizamon has given away 3 penalties already...

 

[Jaguares]

England 10 - Argentina 3, try by Launchbury (maul and try)

 

[Big Ewis]

Nice scrum pumas !!!

 

[Jaguares]

10 - 6, kick by Marcelo Bosch

Nice scrum pumas !!!

Yeah, good scrum.

 

[Big Ewis]

wow, England really really should have put this one down......

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Twelvetreeeeeeeeees! What a run!

Saves our blushes after Ashton makes a right tw** of himself before.

 

[Peat]

Thoughts from the first 20 minutes

Farrell is playing a lot flatter and doing better with it. Good.
Lee Dickson is still not completely persuasive.
Twelvetrees was a wee bit greedy there for his try.
Its mildly disappointing that Ashton can't finish a 1-on-1
Mike Brown looks a really classy act

 

[Jaguares]

Ashton is so inconsistent...

 

[Bluemoon]

Great try. Really well worked. Twelvetrees gave himself a lot to do, but finished it well.

 

[j-dawg]

To be fair the last ditch tackle on Ashton was a hard one to pull off.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Twelvetreeeeeeeeees! What a run!

Saves our blushes after Ashton makes a right tw** of himself before.

Yeah, he cut up the fantastic defence.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

This gonna be a long series for Argentina.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Add to that Dylan Hartley looking impressive

 

[Bluemoon]

Argentina aren't putting any pressure on at the ruck in order to keep the defence organised out wide. It's really not working for them as its allowing England to recycle quickly, play at pace and gain momentum down route one.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ashton is so inconsistent...

Not really, he's been consistently poor, internationally, for a couple of years now.

 

[Jaguares]

Pumas defense is poor. It will repeat a new Soweto???

 

[Big Ewis]

Add to that Dylan Hartley looking impressive

buy boyyyy oh boy am I sad he learned about Movember...

 

[Bluemoon]

Good building for England's try there, but the Puma's defence is almost non-existant around the base of the ruck. Too easy.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Did ashton even get that down before sliding into touch!?

 

[Big Ewis]

yeah ok....sorry Argentinian fans, but you're not Tier 1 anymore atm.
It's one thing to lose games, it's another to lose them by 50 or more, even at home, and having a defense that looks like a Tier 3 atm.

They've slipped. They just don't have the level to come into Twickenham right now, flat out don't have the level altogether.

 

[Tony Manx]

Nor at the line out where they do not even jump................they are a bit poor but not to take anything away from England with the energy, drive and no little skill on show!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Did ashton even get that down before sliding into touch!?

I don't think he did!

 

[04perryo]

I swear Ashton didnt get that down

 

[Jaguares]

Not really, he's been consistently poor, internationally, for a couple of years now.

I remember when he first appeared he caused a great impact, now he's only the remains of that player. He should play for Sevens team, has great attack but poor defense.

Typical rugby league player, he doesn't like the rucks.

 

[Big Ewis]

Argentina 2007 would SMASH Argentina 2013.

 

[Big Ewis]

oh NOW they call obstruction...
lol even the English pundits emphasized that..

 

[HenryChinaski]

The ******* in me wanted that Ashton try not be given

 

[Superalexmarket]

It's gonna be a long and painful tour for the pumas...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Two hours of international rugby for Joel Tomkins and I can't recall him making a tackle or run of note.

Roll on Manu's recovery

 

[Jaguares]

yeah ok....sorry Argentinian fans, but you're not Tier 1 anymore atm.

They've slipped. They just don't have the level to come into Twickenham right now, flat out don't have the level altogether.

Hopefully the game against Italy, the game will tell if Argentina is still a Tier 1 team. If they can't beat Italy, then...

England won against Wallabies. They are favorites today.
