Fourteen-man England too strong for Pumas

It was all about positivity from the coach, who held back on critising Daly for his misdemeanour, which resulted in Senatore landing on his head and came a day after World Rugby announced harsher penalties for risky play.

There was still time for a second red card, Argentina replacement prop get his marching orders in the closing minutes for a stamp on Joe Marler. After four penalties, the referee sent Dan Cole to the sin-bin and the Pumas eventually exploited their two-man advantage when Facundo Isa forced his way over from a scrum.

“Elliot’s tackle was an error of judgement but I’ve got no issue with the decision, none at all”, he said”.

“I was very interested in their scrummaging over there during the summer and they are welcome to come to the meeting with the referee”. Ladbrokes favours the Roses for the win at odds of 1/11, and remember that you can also use the Rugby Score Generator to predict the outcome, just for fun.

I noticed the confidence and the feelgood factor when I came in.

“We had a lot of rubbish fired at us while we were over there and I expect the same rubbish this week”.

The win over South Africa more than anything confirmed the effectiveness of Jones’ new playing style against the very best. So much drama and things happening outt there. We haven’t got a specific senior leadership group, but there are boys who have been around long enough. For work-rate he definitely gets a nine out of 10.

Flanker Lewis Moody was the last England player to be shown a red card against Samoa in 2005. He’ll get over it.

So what can the former outsider tell us, now he has the inside track on a team who have accumulated a scintillating 11 wins out of 11 in 2016?

Argentina didn’t immediately play smart rugby against 14 men, conceding silly penalties that allowed Farrell to nudge England 9-0 ahead by the 24th.

Billy Vunipola’s exit on a motorised cart was a awful loss for the Grand Slam champions and there followed a sequence of seven scrums in which they were repeatedly pulverised under the posts. This weekend we have a chance to change things, in our last game.

“It would be incredible effort and it would show how far we’ve come”, Youngs said.

England have not produced a world class player since Jonny Wilkinson but several of the current crop are making steady progress towards such lofty heights, according to coach Eddie Jones. “We were so ready for it, so organised and so in control of what we were doing”.

Elliot Daly became the fifth England player to be sent off when the converted winger tackled Leonardo Senatore while the Argentina No. 8 was off his feet catching a high ball.

Farrell missed another penalty but a swift England move across to the left wing put May clear and in for the decisive try. The yellow card brandished to Marler was debateable; the red to the 21-year-old Pieretto was inevitable, and revived memories of the wild punch by a Pumas predecessor, Freddy Mendez, when he was sent off in this fixture 26 years ago.

Vern Cotter’s Scotland signed off on their best year since 2002 by overwhelming Georgia 43-16 in their final autumn test at Kilmarnock’s Rugby Park.
