Better. Keeping it tight and taking the energy out of Argentina.

Youngs is so that is good enough for me...5 nice points.

His speed at the BD is so slow again though you could paint a picture of him!

The game will open up second half methinks. I also think Ford should be given kicking duties.

Great try from Ben Youngs, quick finish to a long period of play, will demoralise Argentina a bit more.

May not have been perfect, should be 24-3 if relatively easy (by Farrell's own standards) kicks had been put away.

40 minutes to go in hot/humid conditions, Eng need to keep heads and stick to their gameplan, even if it goes awry at times, Arg will flag and fall off.

3 tries scored, plenty of time and space for a TBP in 2nd half.

I've noticed at a lot of breakdowns, not all, that other players are taking time to get set, maybe on some occasions it's not Youngs'.

Sure we'd all be happy to see you do better Scott.

Agree :smt023 but don't think EJ will make that decision, if Farrell is a good Captain he'll hand it to George.

I'd leave them as they are but Farrell should recognise his kicking is off and give it to ford, would be a mature Captain's decision.

I'd rest Farrell now. Game should be won with a bonus point. Billy V also I don't think is performing up to his usual standard.

Ford should have a word and take over. It’s not about ego but winning a game of rugby. Hand them over to ford and Daly.

Rest Farrell ,no need for him to be on plus he should've had a HIA tbf,and Whitecap Ben has massive historical form for slowing the play down too much! He isn't called Dilly Dally in the Goldsmith stand for nothing!
