everything you say is correct, I really feel shame for Felipe
I mean, he's ours but he didn't do anything like this during his first year, I'm having flaschbacks from his lovestory with ronan o gara

I genuinely cannot believe the fuss Argentina are making about Curry's tackle.
I'm sorry to see Mallia pick up a long term injury but that was misfortune rather than malice. It's not like it was a deliberate attempt to attack his knee.
Contepomi was giving off long before they got to the tunnel so I find it very hard to believe that he was exhibiting the chilled, non-aggressive demeanour he's describing.

Kinda get annoyed why it seems other nations feel free to do this **** with England. It's like somehow it's fair game to be whiny ******** as long as we are the target, heaven forbid we ever complain about anything though.
If the Argies want to see what actually trying to harm a player looks like, here it is (ones on this board have been fine tbh, it's other fans/coaches/media):

I couldn't watch the match on the day, so I've only seen Ojomoh's three try contributions. Based on that, as a 12 deprived England fan, he's the second coming of Jesus Christ.
How was his game overall? Solid defence, distribution, carrying, etc? And was it the benefit of being under-analysed and eager, or is he similarly impactful for Bath?

Yes. there's an international conspiracy, you're too cool for the world and we have to put you down

How was that only a pen? Cynical as hell, outcome or injury doesn't matter, a conscious choice to collapse the maul.

Or much more simple anti-English bias. Want to deny that's a thing?
No, I do thnk there's a bit of a thing for England from some people, it's just that screaming IS NOBODY GOING TO THINK OF ENGLAND is, perhaps, not the best way to help it
Felipe is a bit of a twat, but Argentina's 25 million dollar budget versus England's... -sorry I assume a vastly bigger number here makes it hard to believe that England is the marginalized poor one here. I do agree that Curry is a nice lad and the tackle was good (I've done plenty worse myself), but Tomás Lavanini did something outreagour almost ten years ago is not a defense for Curry today

He had a perfect highlight reel game. You’ve already seen all the best bits. A lot of that is to do with the gameplan though. He didn’t have a lot ball to play with but mostly made the best of the opportunities he got and was solid enough all round.

It's nothing about being a marginalised poor one, it's about people thinking unacceptable behaviour and idiotic comments are fine when directed at England. We definitely get this kind of crap more than most. Filipe should be told he's being an idiot for what he's suggesting, that he's not being honest about his interaction with Curry and told to put a sock in it. Instead his bullshit is getting magnified.

Most other countries cheers for their team to win and if not play then England to lose. Always been the case.
No conspiracy. What lavanini did was twatish. Card magnetic and had no baring on anything that happened with Curry what so ever.
But what bugs me is that Felipe decided to tell a story and build a narrative that Curry pushed him and told him to **** off unprovoked.... is anyone buying that? We don't know what happened but Curry took himself away from the situation down the tunnel. He was then face to face with someone already angered and argued with the crowd?.... and he chooses to omit the words he said prior to being told to **** off? What a prick
So 6 nations have requested the CCTV footage of the tunnel situation
Contepomi making his mouth go.

Dear Six Nations Rugby.
Unfortunately a French broadcaster was operating the CCTV on the day. As you are aware they regulary do not find any on field footage for the TMO. Sadly no coverage of this incident was found.
Best Wishes Steve.

A lot of kickers also dummy their kick before either kicking from a different angle or running, so curry has the right to commit to that tackle. It’s funny that we see that in ‘literally’ every rugby yet all of a sudden it’s a big deal.
As for the England team has done really well to get so many wins in a row especially with lions and injuries. I still question his selections and tactics at times but overall feels like we are still learning but more importantly still progressing forwards.
Would be fascinated to see what SB does with the centres in the 6 nations if everyone is fit.

I just hope we stop the churn of assistant coaches and bikes some stability
I thought he eventually admitted that he blocked Curry's path "because we were angry" and said to Curry "you broke our player's knee" - which resulted in Curry telling him to "**** off" and pushing him in the chest.
Given that, the only that would reflect badly on Curry is the force of the push. There's a big difference between pushing someone who's blocking your path, out of the way whilst muttering/saying "**** off"; versus pushing someone up against the wall and shouting "**** off" in their face.
One of those is brushing off an annoyance, and one is aggressive and intimidating.
Apparently Tom went to speak to one of their coaches who he knows, and as he went over Contempomi got in his way and ssaid no you dont speak to us you broke his knee etc etc.
Only just what ive seen reported.
Yep, that's what's been reported - including in this thread, though it obviously bears repeating as plenty seem to have missed it (it's a big thread that has been moving rather rapidly)
