England’s Elliot Daly set to learn his punishment on Monday afternoon
Elliot Daly has been banned for three weeks after his red card for tackling Leonardo Senatore in the air in England’s 27-14 win over Argentina.
England kept pressing though and a great hit by Farrell dislodged the ball from Juan Martin Hernandez but with the line beckoning, Matias Orlando batted down the final pass and French referee Pascal Gauzere awarded a penalty try and sent the winger to the sin bin. “Flexible, adaptable, courageous, we went out with a certain game plan but had to abandon it after ten minutes”. Man of the match Chris Robshaw chased down full-back Santiago Cordero before Billy Vunipola pounced when the full-back coughed up the ball. When do you get an opportunity to win a Test match with 14 men at Twickenham against a very good team?
“Our team was brilliant today, the way we adapted and coped with the problems put before us, our senior players today were absolutely outstanding”.
The coach added: “Tactically we’ll beat them but we’ve got to have a greater will to win than them”.
Eddie Jones turned his attention to taunting Australia immediately after 14-man England had crushed Argentina in an exceptional 27-14 victory at Twickenham.
Jones said afterwards that it was an error of judgement by Daly and concentrated lavish praise for how his side reacted on the field of play.
Enrique Pieretto was sent off in the 76 minute for stamping on the head of Joe Marler, who had been holding his other leg at a breakdown and was sin-binned. “I don’t know why he’d be anxious about our scrum”.
“I think you should always be respectful”.
‘About our scrum? Mate, our scrum got penalised everywhere tonight so they should be pushing us around no trouble.
“It’s not ideal to lose a man – or even a second man when we went to 13 – but it was a very gutsy performance from the guys”.
The second half had barely started when England’s line cracked for a second time, a missed tackle from Ben Youngs enabling Estelles to break free down the left and, following some attractive link play, Cordero crossed.
“The desire was there. I’m not sure what we’re doing wrong, but maybe that’ll be a conversation for next week perhaps when we get to England”.
“It would be incredible effort and it would show how far we’ve come”, Youngs said. An unbeaten year would show the team application, the detail from the coaches and how we are learning as a side. He took particular umbrage with a promotional television video that mocked England’s past failures and is not expecting their approach to change when Cheika’s side, beating Ireland 25-24 at the time of writing as their quest to complete a first autumn Grand Slam since 1984 hang in the balance, travel to London.
