Engelaaaand Engelaaand Engelaaaand…….
Should be a good game with both teams favouring a forward dominated game plan.
I think England will be a bit better prepared and coached.
England by 10 – 12?
Looking forward to this game.
Goooooooooooo Argies!

@ Puma:
I dont think it was sport, I think it was safety and security and when i/viewed on tv the old lady said she is sad to go but doesn’t feel safe in her own home in Westville so is following the rest of the family…his comment was something along the lines “well go then, we don’t need people like you here”….serious doos.
Argies by two
I see I chose England by 16 in Superbru.
Hmm, maybe a few too many.
This has got to be the closest game of the tournament thus far on paper.
Yip, this is the first real biggie of the Competition.
I think England should take it comfortably though!
OK guys I’m going downstairs, not taking the computer with me…see you half time.
ons sal sien ons sal sien!!
8 @ Scrumdown:
Snap… my pick was England by 16 too!
Structure v passion.
Structure to take it?
Go the England All Blacks!!!!
@ 4man:6 – Yeah, not right that from the minister of security. People should be able to live where they want. Like any other country, people can leave their country to live in other countries without any hassle.
Anyhow going to watch the start of this game. Back in 5.

England in their Black Jerseys
Scrum battle will be something to see here!
Penalty Argies, on their own 10m line.
Great line kick!
Should be a scrummaging battle for the real purist.
England just get the advantage at the first scrum IMO.
Great touch Argentina.
Penalty advantage to the Argies, 2m out now!
Penalty right in front for the Argies
Penalty adv Argentina.
They play on. On the Eng’ line. England defence holding.
Back for the pen’. Kickable.
Argentina 3 / 0 as Filipe Contepomi slots the easy one.
Penalty for the Pumas again, about 44m out, they go for goal
Missed to te right
Missed right.
England on a team warning?
