June International Tests: Argentina vs. England (2nd Test) (17/06/2017)

Been very impressed with Mark Wilson this tour . Not really seen too much of him tbh due to not having BT sport but I think he's been excellent

Yep, Wilson's been good for a couple of years now, very much deserves his couple of caps, would probably have had more at a more fashionable club

5 England players just let the argie walk through...

Newcastle Falcons? Unfashionable? What are you talking about !

I have serious misgivings about his contributions around the park, but Will Collier is the most impressive English scrummager I've seen in a while.

I'd say he's ahead of Cole in the "can scrum, but that's all you should expect" role.

Ay Argentina . I feel bad for our Sanzaar friends. They score freely throughout the game but when they can win the game and are close to the try line they can't score. This packed stadium deserve a win

Hate seeing posts like this when everything seems to be going very well on my stream...

Ford has been great without Farrell...wonder if Jones might reconsider his 10-12 combo.

I wouldn't

They had that dude who played 10 and did nothing until he went to Toulon Jeffery Gillette?

Argentina do love a badly executed grubber kick in their own half. Suicidal from Hernandez.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Another gem by Hernandez...

Honestly what was the point of taking the U20's lot really.

 

[Reiser99]

Singleton got a nice holiday to Argentina too.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Johnny May celebrates like a complete weirdo.

No point at all ... can't see us winning the final tomorrow . Things might have been different if they had had the Curry Bros and Big Joe

TBH I'm not convinced they'd make a difference, it's the front row where we're toast to torrow. Isiekwe might have helped*, but we've got a genuinely good backrow and back3 in Georgia already (IMO)


* I know too little about right 5 play to know if the front row are rubbish due to lack of shove at scrum and poor jumping, or lack of strength/ability at scrum, throwing and lifting


ETA, oh yeah, we're screwed at IC too with TBC out and Umaga in there instead

 

[Maverick1987]

Jason Mohammed is infuriating when he presents rugby programmes you could write what he knows about rugby on the back of a stamp .... outside of the raucous atmosphere of Scrum V he seems out of his depth .....

To have a closer look at the players and get them used to the systems/being with the big boys.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I'd say Cokanasiga having a couple of weeks with Eddie will have been beneficial, his rawness is extreme.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I mean they are used to being with the big boys they have all played in the Prem.

Just doesn't make sense keeping them from the biggest U20 comp of the season. Esp if they are not playing them.

England hold training camps throughout the year use them in that, don't hold them back from a JRWC experience.



I wonder if there is something in Ford playing better due to not having Farrell outside him.
