Think Borthwick is very limited as a head coach. Did well in turning Leicester round but the English Prem is not a good standard compared to the international game and he just got Leicester doing the basics well. That’s not enough at international level.

A good half for England despite playing all of it a man light a good battling performance with some excellent drop kicks from Ford to keep the scoreboard ticking over. I've managed to secure tickets for England V Japan and England V Samoa so hopefully we are in a good position in out group by then

Early red card so back to good old Leicester basics - with an absolute masterclass from Ford. Los Pumas were very poor mind.

I turned it on after five minutes or so and saw there was a red card against and expected to watch a drubbing, but the Argies imploded after we kept our heads and Ford knocked over those drop goals. A ridiculous result, really, but it would be nice if we could keep a full complement on the pitch...

Uruguay and  Fiji proving very tough opponents for ‘favoured’ teams Shame about the performance! We are so far behind the big boys it’s scary. Fiji’s physicality, counter rucking and turnover is outstanding. “I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards.” –Garth Marenghi

Plenty of tasty games to come before we even get to the knockout stages!

At that level I prefer it to international football.

They had a Plan B and Plan C and we didn't have the players on the bench to adapt. Great effort, of course, but ultimately not quite good enough. Even if we had sneaked through to the final, I suspect it would have been like the last World Cup where we couldn't raise our game enough twice in a row.

One poor kick. One poor jump. Fine effort Yep two fine efforts today; at the start of the day, I was expecting a humping for Town and England (rugby), I wasn't expecting that absolute trashing for the cricketers mind. Dan Cole was magnificent, scrummaging with his brain when he took that little step back so the Bok loosehead went down when they were in our 22. That one mistake by the Norfolk lad is going to haunt him, but it still needed the (almost inevitable) scrum pen as his ex-Leicester colleague goes down on one knee, and then his current club colleague nails the long kick.

The format this year with the group stage taking over a month was ridiculous. Next time the group stage will be over in around 18 days, the tournament will be a week shorter and they’ll be an extra round of knock-out Rugby- maybe even Ireland could win their first ever knock-out match at a RWC with having a Round of 16?

Thing is having played the game for my school its a tough old sport and certainly more physical than football. Helps to get on the weights as well when your playing and put some bulk on 💪. One life,one love .
