This English team is disgustingly hard to hate. Hope the Argies thrash them.

Doubt that will happen but I do expect the Argies to win.

Henry Pollock is doing a great job to change that. Give him time.

Smuts

@MN5 how can you hate a golden retriever? He’s just doing the tricks he was taught so someone will pat him on the head and say who’s the goodest boy?! Polly is! Yes he is, yes he is!

And then give him another ball to chase or ruck rat to harass. Even his mouthing off is just like a retriever barking at you saying play with me.

I'll give this reply an upvote for being so bizarre and unexpected

Smuts

@MN5 puts his licking his chops during the Haka in a whole new light, don’t it?

Catogrande

Dingwall out with a side injury and Ojomoh to start at 12. I've been wanting to see Ojomoh in the side for some time now, ideally with his club mate Lawrence outside him, so I'm excited to see how he goes. But to counter that, Dingwall was beginning to look like he could crack it at this level so I'm a bit torn.

At least we are not seeing Earl start at 12. Thank God.

England to win the world cup at the first Argie knock on.

Bones

That! That fucking rolling the ball around with your hand at the back of the ruck! It went about 2m and went out of the ruck about twice too.

Fuck it off.

Bones

Is brake foot not a thing in these internationals?

Bones

Ojomoh making Rieko look like Conrad Smith with that distribution.

Bones

And now making Rieko look like Marler in terms of try scoring.

Bones

Like that from the ref, calling England lock offside even though the ball went out.

MiketheSnow

Argies blow a great opportunity

MiketheSnow

Healy is thick as fuck

MiketheSnow

That’s two blown opportunities from the Argies

Should have gone to the scrum

Genge would have had a YC

Bones

"England didn't purposely put the ball in goal"

Then what the fuck was that pass back from the scrum Austin?

Bones

The fuck? That was 10 metres away from the ball
You got played ref.

MiketheSnow

Kay and Healy doing their version of ‘Good Cop, Bad Cop’

‘Smart Cnt, Thick Cnt’

It’s like Healy has just started watching rugby

Bones

Argentina take a smoko break for a minute.

MiketheSnow

If the Argies don’t take stock then this could be a record defeat

Bones

England 6 finally gets called for no arms, he's done it at least twice before that.

MiketheSnow

YC coming up

MiketheSnow

England gone right off the boil

Not a big enough lead for them to just coast

This could easily be all square

Victor Meldrew

Loving Danny Care's insight

Ref calling offside nicely

MiketheSnow

England foregoing a penalty
Kick to the corner
And LCD is over

Poor defending

Fortune favours the brave

Eng 24-3 Arg
Halftime

Nope spilled

Fuck off Austin you ignoramus

Too much slow ball for England. Not making it difficult for Argies. Spencer at Half Back is a step down from Mitchell.

sparky

England kicking it too much this week. The Argies are very comfortable under the high ball.

sparky

Feyi-Waboso is the danger man for England. They need to get the ball in his hands in space as much as they can.

sparky

Argentina not getting bullied physically. Giving as good as they are getting. Impressive to see.

sparky

Four penalties in a row against England. Warning coming up. Cards will be next.
