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

[MikeTheNative]

Did they they check his/her passport? I'd hate to get into another "poaching" argument

Just asked if anyone in the family had a 2nd name of Jones.

lol who is montayo? looks like an hibrid robot moyano + Montoya I'll pay to hear the English commentator say Urdapilleta

 

[Kapa O Pango]

Billy V and Tuilagi carrying the ball at the Argies will give them the willies.

 

[petite]

I saw an analysis and it showed that England have the most even distribution of ball carrying between positions (NATIONS) among pretty much any team in the world. Theoretically that should help reduce fatigue although we can't seem to fully exploit it.

lol

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

lol

Am I missing something here? Don't really see the joke.

Snarky poaching comment maybe? All I can think of.

oh boys you are so sensitive!! yes I ment that "your" ball carriers are well distributed from other nations. where's the English sense of humor?

Humour and I may be a bit behind the times but in my day humour had to be funny, just saying.

So we win tomorrow and are guaranteed a QF spot regardless of france right? (have to beat france to top the pool provided they beat the easier teams)

But what if we lose? What is the situation? Would a win against France guarentee us a QF france or do we need BPs.

I wouldnt find it funny either if my nacional team had 26 % of foreigners

If we win we are confirmed as through (and Argentina will be out if France beat Tonga tomorrow). Group winner will then come down to England v France.

If we lose - assuming France beat Tonga and Argentina beat the USA - then we will have to beat France and then it will come down to bonus points (or points difference) as England, France and Argentina will all have beaten each other once. In that scenario I would expect France to go home because they only beat Argentina by 2 points, and the other margins will likely be wider than that.

If we lose, and then lose to France, we are out unless Tonga/USA pull off a shock win.

I didn't know Agustin Pichot posted on here,

I don't know what's more impressive: that we have a bonafide legend of the game in our midst, or that he can type out messages with his head lodged so far up his own arse.

 

[TommiG88]

So I went to the local brewery and purchased a 5L keg for the game. Might as well write off the rest of the day.

If we cant beat at least Argentina or France we dont deserve to be a contender for the WC.
