Arundell showing why Borthwick doesn't pick him.

I.e. can't kick.

Good chat from Flats re Arundell

Edit: in saying that, he’s a young guy new to the team and should be getting more support and direction

Only saw it once but it looked like he got his arm trapped when the tackler was trying to roll him and lost his rag a bit.
Nah that was Aggy

Yet the telly boys (and the reffing boys) didn't spot it. Bizarre in multiple ways.

Dan makes up for it.
What the fuck was the afters about though. Niggly twat. .
Hint of a punch to the back of the Arg 15's head.
Looked at it again. I think he is very lucky not to get a yellow. Curry obviously saw it and ran up to apologise

I'd settle for him having the ball. That shanked kick was the first time he'd had the ball in hand I think.

That; or he got hit in the face by one of his passes, while sat in Row Z

I’m sure the moral guardians of rugby will be along any minute to criticise Argentina for wildly celebrating that turnover like they do England.

If he strays from his wing and isn't there to chase a kick, he gets a bollocking from Faz

It isn't once or twice it is time and time again by successive England coaches. Farrell must be superb at brown nosing coaches.

Of fucking course farrell isn't withdrawn.

Whenever we get attacking ball the forwards just crash into tackles

Farrell can never be substituted. He would literally have to be dead, and even then Borthwick would consider keeping him on.

Three fly halves in your back line. Doesn’t strike one as particularly structured.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Yup, hurt himself making a double tackle under the polls.

Faz is avoiding contact too. Arg really need to target him.

None of the Argentinians want to know about the high balls coming their way.

Why not bring on Lawrence then and retain the shape you've "coached" the team to use? Seems an odd choice.

But Smith and Ford defer to Faz. He is the chief, captain and creative fulcrum.

Edit: I think we are fucked and Farrell won't be ditched before the next world cup. As I watch Lawrence come on for arundell.
