England v Argentina

[Slick]

Berry having to ask the TMO what happens if there is a draw. How does he not know?

I think he said something along the line of “make sure we re all ready if it’s a draw”

[Biffer]

Ref bottled that scrum.

[petej]

Ref bottled that scrum.

Yep.

[ASMO]

Dreadful game, dreadful teams, nobody can take anything positive from that pile of shit.

[Margin__Walker]

Win's a win and it will go in the record books as a third place RWC finish, but boy was that desperate.

Not sure I can cope with several more years of Borthers.

[C69]

How can they possibly say that wasn't forward. Just making it up now.

Fucking hell

[Tichtheid]

Apart from the ITV coms, apparently. It's a major success.

Faz getting self medicated legally was schadenfreude

Absolute dogshit from England.

A few players already checked out.

At least thats the end of Youngs

Its just so depressing...we are going to be a plaything for the other 6N teams.

[TedMaul]

SA should be worried watching this

This.
Fitting it’s now a Youngs show. Excruciating.

[Bloutoria]

Well tried Argies. Respect.

It's really not. Winning is clearly important, but all we've done here is beat teams ranked lower than us. Playing the least engaging style of rugby I can possibly imagine.

Would have been fine last season as I could retreat back to watching LI play heads up, but It's all there is now (as I'm sure you can relate to!).

Just amazing watching a team, where every play is about the kick setup and every ruck takes 5 seconds+. The one occasion they did try to use the ball they had no idea what they were trying to do with it.

[C69]

The result will keep the sponsors, World Rugby and ITV happy.

Didn''t think they'd give a literal medal for 3rd. It's really Winner and Runner up that matters.

[Openside]

Interesting all the endless replays of Dans try stop immediately after he fits the ball down.

[Ymx]

Will Farrell keep his medal on?

Jeez, that was a shithouse 2nd half from England.

What is the point of playing Arundel if you don't even give him the ball.
3 Fly halves on the pitch and they still can't pass along the backline or make a break.

Looks like watching England games is back to the usual, get teed off and turn off the TV at halftime.

[el capitan]

We're an awful rugby team and closer to 13th in the world than 3rd to my eyes..... But a decent banter run in this RWC and it's riled up plenty of opposing fans which is the main thing

[C69]

Oh and me.

Best performing Six Nations side in the RWC by some distance. They can’t take it.

[TedMaul]

But so Fkn skewed

The composition of the backline at that point just shows there's no consideration for actually trying to use the ball.

[Bloutoria]

Cheka is not happy...

[Lady P]

This is actually very sweet, what they’re doing for Lawes

[notfatcat]

Cheka is not happy...

He should team up with some England fans in the pub and they can all drown their sorrows together.

[Jethro]

Cheka is not happy...

Was best part for me, this dude is going to have a heart attack any moment now

[BnM]

At end of day 'exceeded expectations'

[Ymx]

I never saw the landing for that, showed same replay on telly, did they help him down?

I honestly think you need to give him a chance

Yeah, I think he’s the man for England for the next World Cup cycle.

His Leicester team were boring as fuck and so have England been. Pundits in the English game openly talk about this being his style of rugby. We might start executing it a bit better, but we could give him another 2 months or another 20 years and I'm pretty sure he'd have England playing the same dull, zero-risk anti-rugby.

I don't expect us to suddenly turn into prime France or Scotland, but looking like we have a plan other that actually involves occasionally trying to pass to a winger or engineer a line break would be nice.

He was solo, they would only have tipped him if they tried to grip him again.

Yeah, Gonzales is built a bit different. Stuck the landing and set off

Just a fun, unorthodox player to watch.

I know, but look what he inherited and he’s only been there for a few months. They were easily the worst England team in my lifetime and, with pretty much the same players, he got to within a point of SA in a WC SF. He didn’t have time to change the players so I think he’s done OK. He’s a very inexperienced coach and his team are even less experienced. I think you have to at least give him a go.

Also, I’m not sure where this vision of England as an expansive attacking team is coming from, you’ve always been dull as fuck
