I've a feeling England will win this, something half tangible from this tournament would be good for them.

 

[Geordie]

I believe this goes towards World Cup rankings for the next world cup...so not meaningless and i guess SB will continue with his strongest lineup...give the likes of Courtney etc a final send off.

i would look to get Theo Dan, Ollie Lawrence, Arundel etc on the pitch for a good run though.

 

[Umaga's Witness]

I predict england to score their first try of this World Cup

Say what now?

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Say what now?

A big call I know.

 

[OldSchoolRugga]

Hoping Argentina win this.

 

[Geordie]

Hoping Argentina win this.

Yes most people probably will be... ABE and all that... eh....

Yeah, winning 71-0 sure was a lot of drop goals.
You should try watching some of the games, mate!

 

[Half Pint]

I hope Borthwick gives the squad players a run out. Especially Underhill as he's had no game time so far, and Arundell as he's got a shot at being the most try-scoringgest player of the tournament (are you listening, Umaga's witness?)

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Ah the match that neither side really wants to play. Personally would have preferred a Plate final to this.

 

[ncurd]

I'd like to see this as the first step to new England. SB picking who he sees from the squad as his 6 Nations team. I'd understand giving Lawes the captains arm band though.

And give Dan a ****** run out for god sake, poor lad.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

If I'm in I might watch it but it's a real so what game.

Play all the lads who've sat on the bench and held tackle bags to say thanks. Even Youngs.

 

[BrokenWing]

Even Youngs.

Even more of a kick in the teeth to give them a game but make sure they don't see the ball.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Yeah for this game I'd prioritise saying thank you to the guys retiring/going abroad post-tournament. I've seen some people suggest we should use the game to blood youngsters but we've got 4 years to build for 2027; I don't think it'll hurt to show some gratitude to the servants.

Priority 2 would be to win the game. Sure it's a bit of a nothing game but it's still the World Cup; I'd like to see us go out strong.

I think it would be really poor man mangement not to give Stuart, Rodd, Malins, Walker and Ludlam a roll of the dice. That's not a building for the future thing although most will have some future part to play, it's a thanks for being a part of this squad, even though you didn't get much game time, thing.

 

[Jashay]

Arundell to score 4 tries and break the WC scoring record in two games, then never get seen again because he hurt Faz's feelings.

Experience on the bench and give them all 30 min at the end to finish the game.

 

[Jer1cho]

Arg will be fired up for this. When they click it's impossible to stop.

 

[OldSchoolRugga]

I don't feel Cheika is a good fit for Argentina. Sure, he has won them games, and against NZ in NZ, but I feel someone like Robbie Deans would do better with them. To be honest, I don't really rate him as a really good coach. He is just ok.
