[Closed] RWC Day 2 Spoiler - England v Argentina

We got the streaker for a couple of seconds but the comentators didn't mention it 🙂

I can't see us winning this.

I don't know, England's kicking is marginally better.

Edit: oops I'm not sure of that.

pee poor kicking from both. 🙁

erm?

I've never seen Armitage look so clueless with the ball in his hands.
Oh, why am i so wound up by this performance? I support the Wallabies, don't I?

see I said that on purpose . . . . 🙂

YES YES YES

Early morning starts, lots of coffee and England's propensity for cocking up really isn't good for my blood pressure!

In the face of the evidence a very flattering and undeserved scoreline, however the fat chick has started singing yet... 😀

Come on guys you can do it.

Keep the chin up, your one 1 point behind. 😀

I think Flood will be getting the nod next game.

8 mins to go . . .

Finally!!!! cool . . . .

thats the way to do it

AWESOME.

Had to cheat at the end to win.

Looks like a win for the drabbest team in world rugby,hurrah.

Well mighty England look good don't they 🙂

Bosh, job done. Who's next ?

😉

Who's top of the group? 😈

Wilkinson found touch to end the game which was quite a surprise

That was certainly painful to watch. I hope they sort themselves out before the next match.

😆

I wouldn't say any of the 'top teams' have looked particularly good so far, the opening games have all been much tighter than I would've expected, telling that this game is the most dour and lowest scoring of them all so far, typical England play really, booooring.... 🙄

Officials didn't think it was a cheat and that's all that matters. A win is a win and that is the bottom line. England need to get smart quickly though.
Scotland hardly shone did they TJ? Or was it the world class opposition that they found tough?

Think i'll go for a ride now, need to get rid of all this extra adrenaline and aggression now!

Bonus point for scotland - I am just watching the game now.

Johnson should check that streakers parentage...he made more space running at the argies than any of his creatine fueled orcs

Too Late, the Kiwis have already signed him from Tonga 🙂

If Wilkinson's kicking stays that bad... Well they've taken the wrong no.10!

I reckon the [i]Other[/i] All Blacks looked just slightly better...

10 debutantes in the team covers the unglamorous scoreline then, good call.

as an aside has anyone got any feeds in english for RWC matches..ie from canada/aus or nz...cos I can't watch this shocking ITV drivel anymore.

I wouldn't crow, because:

a) You're actually English yourself
b) Scotland hardly did much better, against a much poorer side

I wouldn't say any of the 'top teams' have looked particularly good so far,

They don't need to at this stage in the tournament, they just need to win even if it is by 4 points only.

Good thing for a neutral is that the Eng/Sco/Arg group looks very open so should produce some interesting games.

Well, I'm watching ITV over the web here in Oz. Not found anything better yet....

NOTE WELL: This is what happens when people complain about the BBC spending too much on sports....

Well, I suppose. But ITV have had the RWC for a long, long time. I may be imagining it, but I think they had it back in 1991?

re. Japan should host the RWC... it has already been awarded to them.... in 2009.

England awarded 2015 Rugby Cup, Japan 2019 hosts

England will host the 2015 Rugby World Cup and Japan will stage the event in Asia for the first time four years later, the International Rugby Board (IRB) council said on Tuesday.

a bit close wasn't it. not pretty, either. but give it time, they'll improve... won't they?

i watched with australian commentary and i was surprised at their unbiased opinions....

Sh*te. But at least we have the easier teams to come in the group

Scotland hardly did much better, against a much poorer side

Very true, but then we've not been talking ourselves up as potential World Champions 😆

based on the limited perspective of the matches so far, the All Blacks look pretty devastating, especially when you start to consider the quality alternatives that exist for most of the positions in their starting 15. If that is them just getting warmed up, they should be awesome to watch in subsequent matches. Their back line just looks in a completely different league to the English guys - there's an incisiveness and creativity about them that seemed completely lacking in the English backs.

Reasonable game from Scotland. Some good stuff, some of the usual dross.

Romania have a decent pack - I think they will ask questions of England as well.

Scotland won well in the end, England very lucky to win

Lol Scotland were woeful tj, based on these games Argentina will wallop them!

But then if Scotland beat England, which they are very capable of, how does affect the group?

Scotland were woeful with a bonus point win? A mixed bag from Scotland for sure but nothing much to fear from england or Argentina. Scotland should win the group

who is top of pool B?

😆
