"tlaii - david steetle!"

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Our rucking and support is atrocious.

EDIT except for that.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Another great try.

 

[Tony Manx]

36 is really on song...lots of support running and now a good try that was very nearly butchered!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Attwood is playing well - good to see a lock as good at the rough stuff as they are at the lineout.

 

[Peat]

Some of the best tries I've seen from England in what feels like forever.

 

[j'nuh]

Becoming so evident now how much England missed Morgan during the 6N.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Freddie Burns is nailed on Lions captain on this performance.
Dat backhand pass

 

[Tony Manx]

Getting a little too cocky and need to be professional....that was stupid play just throwing the ball anyway and some poor passing

 

[ratsapprentice]

Becoming so evident now how much England missed out by not picking their best players for the last 10 years.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

FFS ****ing about at the back of the ruck again. Just get the ball out.

 

[Draggs]

This is entertaining. Every single player in this 23 should fly to Australia next week.

OK...sometimes it works!!! Great play by Wade and 36 again......

 

[big ginger 8]

Wonder what Superalexmarket is thinking now?

 

[ratsapprentice]

I have no way of knowing how good the Argentine players are supposed to be...

But this is some of the most entertaining rugby I have seen England play.

Have you forgot about who we've got at 9?
The IRB introduced the 5 second rule solely because of Dickson.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I think England aren't doing particularly well, it's just this is such a poor Argie team. They won't enjoy this dominance in the set piece against good teams.

Wish Care was playing, decent SH when on form. Great hair too.

 

[ratsapprentice]

They won't enjoy this dominance in the set piece against good teams.

No doubt they won't, but Wilson is the best scrummager in England, and Attwood is among the best lineout operators and scrummagers.

Edit: commentators curse! Just as I say that, the lineout comes a cropper.

Henry Thomas for Lions captain!
