Great game to watch. NZ response at the beginning of the 2nd half was classically ominous, but Ireland have played the ABs often enough recently to withstand. Tadgh Beirne was huuuuuuge.

Great description of England from the Guardian:
“ Their team have turned up for the biggest party in the sport in a work shirt, a sensible pair of shoes and with hours of chat about the best way to navigate around the roadworks on the way back. God, but you don’t want to get stuck in a corner with them. Which was exactly the mistake Argentina made.”

This was the most appalling match Nigel Owens has refereed....at least three yellows missed by head high and neck rolls by the Irish and the penalty try was absurd...Todd was hemmed in there against the post by an Irish player and couldn't get away even if he tried...lucky that wasn't a decision that could've effected the out come of the match. The world's best Ref?????
Fucking hell. Never happy aye?
I remember when Dan Carter got yellowed for a horrendous tackle against Wales and the Fern foamed endlessly at the mouth about the IRB (as was) conspiring with the illuminati, aliens, English rugby clubs and the man on the grassy knoll to besmirch his sainted name.
Get a grip.@Luigi, there's a blast from the past. Welcome back. Been lurking?
I'll disagree with you, although I don't fully agree with @Blackheart. But Nige made some strange calls.
Nah, just dropped in.
Congrats boys. I think we will be lucky to keep it to 12 points in the semi.
Still drinking at 1pm (bst) and need to be up for 8am for the welshies day of destiny. 😳 -
Sean Edwards is a name behind a fair few bloody noses for England in the 6N.
Dreadful performance from us. As Borthwick said right after the game: “they won all the collisions, offensively and defensively.” Says it all really. Our pack was anonymous. All the haters for Smith (and yes, he isn’t the answer) should recognise the soggy, sinking platform he had to work with.
As for France, they’ll give anyone a run in the RWC. -
@catogrande rehab 😉

@jegga I have had that displeasure, yes.

Not really sure what Matt Todd could do there?
Tackle?
Exactly. It ain’t about intent anymore. Or even it being an accident. If you’re in the way, flailing around like a epileptic squid you’re gonna get pinged. Todd got sent off for being a muppet. Can’t even claim cynicism, just rubbishness.

“Are you Scotland in disguise” ringing out in the pub.

Ah yes. Robinson flopping all over the ruck like a cheap mattress and Shaw nudging him out of the way with his knee.

As an Englishman who has the watch the AWJ referee-influencing masterclass EVERY six nations, I feel Kolisi’s pain.

I'm really getting fed up with hearing the word 'Chicago'

@chimoaus all comms are blinkered twats - it's a fact.

fluffybunnies everywhere I guess
Yeah. It was the relief as much as anything.
Firstly we weren’t shit. Then we won.Far from shit, England were awesome.
I’ve rarely felt so physically sick during a match.
The danger is we treat that as our final. -
Phew! That game put me through the wringer. Hard lines for Fiji. I thought they were going to do it at the death.
The Borth roll on. Resistance is futile, -
Fuck me: Ford ran forward into a space with the ball. Then he passed it.
I’m still reeling. -
@chimoaus said in RWC: England v Argentina:
I wonder what the highest score is in WC without a try.
Hope we find out
