OK, I understand the "Why" but an accidental clash of heads carrying a higher tariff than an assault on a fly half means the laws are daft.

Agreed BD

Mallia, the Argentinian full back, got banned for something similar against SA despite successfully making the charge down.

How this was a yellow I'll never know:

Head contact> foul play> high degree of danger (direct and high force)> no mitigation = red

Must have been deemed low danger or some kind of mitigation

It was very similar to Lambie/Stander

1. Needs to wind his neck in - less yabbing more playing
2. Understand kicking ball away is not his job. That seems to be Mitchell's role.

The pressure from England has forced Argentina into the position they are....

Me too - played the game as it’s required in the situation and adapted very well.

Argentina lost their heads when the drop goals started going over and haven’t recovered

Need 20mins more

Not sure (euphuism for absolutely convinced) that Daly brings nothing to this team

Any team could play well against this rubbish.

[WhitecapTiger]

That was one of the best kicks to touch/corner from distance I have seen for quite some time.

[CJ]

They’ve made us look good

Yellow soon surely.

The 'rubbish' exists because England have played the game that's needed (man down) and prevented the Argies from playing their expansive game while also nullifying their tight game, IMO
