Life is a party for Ben. It's an admirable perspective.

Yeah take Ford off

Well, Tuilagi is playing as a poor flanker??

So...we've been surprisingly good so far. Well, surprisingly not bad.

I have to say, I don't like Ben Earl for the clapping shouty nonsense, but his decision making has been crap. Especially compared to Lawes, who has made good decisions.

Having Ford and Marchant either side of Tuilagi makes such a difference for England. It has to be the lineup going forward.

May looks lost.

I wouldn't make any changes yet in the backs. I would take Earl off, but other than that, you bring on the sub forwards early, and keep shape in the backs.

Try saving tackle on Montoya though, which earns him points.

Marchant needs shooting for fucking up that overlap though. He's got the skills and it wasn't a difficult pass, but he just utterly fucked it. If I'm May, I'm crying with frustration that he's had two good opportunities in space where he just wasn't given the ball (that one and Earl's KADAB).

Puja

That kickoff was shambolic. Chessum tackled the wrong player, Mitchell decided he wasn't going to tackle at all, and there was no-one in behind.

May lucky he catches the ball there. I don't really see how that's much different to the penalty Steward won.

Bring back Farrell as Ford clearly cannot cope with being the main man.

Exactly this. How do you decide how to play that high ball?

For fuck's sake ref. Calls the advantage, Mitchell tries to get the ball out, so Matera just reaches over the top and kills it, **while making eye-contact with the ref** and gets no punishment whatsoever. The absolute definition of cynical.

Puja

Earl is annoying but he seems to be pretty busy and useful thus far. Bit surprised he's taking flak.

I'd be a lot better disposed towards him if he STOPPED KICKING THE FUCKING BALL!

Puja

Chocobares loses the ball in terror at the thought of running into George Ford. Knock-on in self-defence.

There needs to be a gif of earl clapping along in a salsa or tango scene.

Cole's had a good game. Fair play to him.

Puja

That ref just get handed the latest Omaze house from the prize draw?

Literally just woke up my daughter with my reaction to that Tuilagi tackle.

Racist Swedish commentator immediately accused Tuilagi of not using his arms without any evidence. He changed his mind when he saw the replay at least.

You know Farrell will walk back into the team in 2 weeks time.

England doing what they need to do and doing it well, but how bad are Argentina?

Very.

Couldn’t catch a cold

Earl is very annoying and won't stop kicking good ball away, but he has been pretty good today.
