[EOYT] England vs. Argentina 09/11/13

Argentina aren't putting any pressure on at the ruck in order to keep the defence organised out wide. It's really not working for them as its allowing England to recycle quickly, play at pace and gain momentum down route one.
 
Pumas defense is poor. It will repeat a new Soweto???
 
Good building for England's try there, but the Puma's defence is almost non-existant around the base of the ruck. Too easy.
 
yeah ok....sorry Argentinian fans, but you're not Tier 1 anymore atm.
It's one thing to lose games, it's another to lose them by 50 or more, even at home, and having a defense that looks like a Tier 3 atm.

They've slipped. They just don't have the level to come into Twickenham right now, flat out don't have the level altogether.

Nor at the line out where they do not even jump................they are a bit poor but not to take anything away from England with the energy, drive and no little skill on show!
 
Not really, he's been consistently poor, internationally, for a couple of years now.

I remember when he first appeared he caused a great impact, now he's only the remains of that player. He should play for Sevens team, has great attack but poor defense.

Typical rugby league player, he doesn't like the rucks.
 
oh NOW they call obstruction...:p
lol even the English pundits emphasized that..
 
Two hours of international rugby for Joel Tomkins and I can't recall him making a tackle or run of note.

Roll on Manu's recovery

Hopefully the game against Italy, the game will tell if Argentina is still a Tier 1 team. If they can't beat Italy, then...

England won against Wallabies. They are favorites today.
