You would think Argentina had 14 not England. The penalty count is beyond a joke

Wexford had a man sent off in the 95 final and beat Limerick. Eamon Scallan

Hard to believe how shite Argentina have been with an extra man for pretty much the whole game.
They haven't even looked like scoring.

Very poorly managed team and lacking direction on the field also.

[seafoid]

Dreadful. Just the sort of galvanising result that England will be able to build on as well given they should walk the rest of the pool.

That said, England have played excellent 14 man rugby, all things considered. Keeping it quite simple, not being overly ambitious in terms of being expansive, taking the points when they're on offer.

Argentina have been very generous. The media treatment of this match is very different to what it would be if it was a soccer match.

Tuned in hoping to see an England trouncing. Disappointed.

Apols if already discussed but how shite have the anthems been?

Finally are Ire Fra NZ And SA in same half yes? So other half has Eng Arg Wal and Sco? So based on this a decent shout for Sco Eng in the final or Eng if Scots get eliminated?

I've rambled...

This performance is probably worse than Romania's!

The top 5 are all on one side. Ireland,SA, NZ, France, Scotland. 3 of those will be out after 1/4 final.

What a chance for Argentina to get the Falklands back and they've blown it

This match shows what a farce the draw is. Argentina are still likely going to the QF despite one of the most spineless inept displays you have ever seen yet sco, ire or SA are going home early. Why all those times we met Argentina at a world cup they played like France yet when England play them they are worse than a pub team

[Capt Pat]

Argentina warmed up for this tournament by playing Spain, England warmed up by losing to Fiji. this result shows which team had the better approach to warm up games.

[Estimator]

Shocking performance from Argentina.
Useless from start to finish. 
17pt victory for England without worrying the try line at any point in the game.

Argentina were playing NZ, Australia & SA in the Rugby Championship only a month or 2 ago. It could be tricky for the Southern hemisphere teams managing that

It's a timing issue. Scotland have reached one semi. They beat Samoa in the QF. I think Wales have reached 2 semis. On qf was against us. We had a lot of mi adh apart from all the malfunctions. We never got Samoa in the quarters.
