[RWC2019][Pool B] Round 3 - England vs. Argentina (05/10/2019)

[Reiser99]

Ford must have been told to kick down the middle. He's put them consistently in the same spot in the middle

The ball is definitely still slippery so kicking and playing in their half is fine. Just not putting enough pressure on the kicks.

We seam to be winning territory in aerial ping pong. Basically I think the plan is to get them to kick back to us and gain 5 meters.

We've been doing it all tournament - I just don't understand it, it's not like we're even putting in a big chase or anything.
We kick long and centrally, they kick back to the halfway line and then we have a lineout and possession in the exact same place we just kicked from.

 

[Jimbo]

What's happened to Daly, he has looked like a proper full back so far, very solid.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Please drop Billy, been so poor at everything.

 

[McTallshort]

What are England trying to do?

 

[ncurd]

Yeah they should, I never criticised the players, but a ref can't and won't go to the TMO on the advice of any of them and every one of them gives out about protesting. In fact, what Owens did there is straight out of the Wayne Barnes playbook.

I think a ref ticking off a team after a call he got completely wrong and was shown up when checked for asking for it be checked. Well it makes someone look like a right twat and surprisingly in this exchange it's not Owen Farrell.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That clearout was so in at the side, lol

 

[Reiser99]

Really need a score before half time to take off some of the pressure.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

We are a man up and we keep kicking it away! Wtf sort of strategy is this? They aren't even good kicks

 

[Rinkadink]

Please drop Billy, been so poor at everything.

He's knackered, needed a rest I think.

Argentina kicking well, much better than England.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Please may not be hurt

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Do Argentina try and cheat this much in the rugby championship?

So you don't think it should have been a red? Nuts, it was an awful tackle.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Urgh, why do we not have any 8 cover.
Binny shouldn't be playing on through injury

 

[OneBlackEye]

It was a clear red card.

But **** ruining an entire match and Argentinas world cup for one tackle. It's just boring.

I thought you turned your TV off?

 

[TommiG88]

Can we bring on Spencer?

 

[Rinkadink]

I thought you turned your TV off?

Waiting for the "I'm drunk, can't you tell?" claims again.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Please drop Billy, been so poor at everything.

that'll reduce out proper ball carriers to Tuilagi unless they bought on Mako.

ludlum to 8 after half time?

 

[Jimbo]

Don't want to see anyone get injured but would be nice if Young's found himself unable to play for the remainder of the tournament he's *****.

 

[Reiser99]

There we go, that's better. Now need some points from this.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

A backs move? By England?
GTFO

 

[Rinkadink]

Not penalising argentina hands offside there, nor feet. No consistency.
