...and Watson to replace Brown.

Teo will be an interesting question, clearly a solid option as a big physical centre, but for still need to improve his handling. If he was 25 I'd be all for bringing him in with a view to polishing his weaknesses but at 30 years old?

So - George to replace Hartley; Watson to replace Brown......Farrell to replace Ford? And, if Ford doesn't start at 10, does he make the 23 given that he only covers at 10?

I suspect 10 Ford, 12 Farrell will remain in place for a while.

Jones has experimented with Farrell/Te'o/Joseph in the latter stages against France and Ireland in the six nations. It worked against France but not so against Ireland.

Jones seemed keen to get Manu involved previously so he might effect the thinking if he can stay fit long end gh otherwise Te'o as bench impact might continue with Ford/Farrell running the show, they are both young enough to keep improving.

Tough gig so far for England but the inaccuracy is on both sides. How experimental are Argentina or are they pretty much full strength?

That George Ford has a useful pass.

Good pass from Ford for the try and a tidy conversion.

I did like the respect the kicker sign that the guy held up in vain during the kick :smt005

Can't bear to listen to him when he commentates on the French because of his exagerated pronounciation of the French names, unfortunately he seems to have started doing it for Argentina now aswell :smt013

Well I cursed it! It's a bit loose out there to say the least.

They've given a winger and some less experienced props a go. I think anyway. They are a lot me experienced than the England team.

George playing and kicking well. Genge looks a handful but will be kicking himself after the knock on that led to the second try.

England's first try - proper contributions from the Tigers boys! Genge shows he's the 'real deal' each time he plays.
