England prove there is beauty in winning the Borthwick way | Andy Bull

Coach is booed before kick-off but team deliver a win against the odds and no one will want to play them

Beauty? See England, this is why people are so against you. That was the most ugly win in years. Great drop kicks though, felt like I was at Croke Park!

          Yeah that’s definitely harsh on England. England controlled the game and Ford really showed his class (I’m of the opinion that he should be the first choice 10 for England anyway).

          Argentina were poor, but part of that was trying to force things against a defence they couldn’t breach, with mounting scoreboard pressure and, yes, some bad luck.

    Reminded me of the last Argentina pool game – a red card means Argentina play a certain way, so England capitalised with good game management. Just the red card went the other way this time!
