Jones heaps praise on 14-man England

England are now one match away from matching Clive Woodward’s 2003 vintage side’s 14-game winning streak but Jones was concentrating on winding up his team’s next opponents.

The talking points kept coming, however, as Argentine replacement Enrique Pieretto was red carded for stamping on the head of prop Joe Marler, who was sin-binned for holding in the same exchange. Now the latter is definitively absent, and Wood has reclaimed the openside starting spot he was first handed by Jones for week one of the autumn series, the 37-21 win over South Africa a fortnight ago.

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.

The match took on a changed complexion nearly immediately when Daly became the first back, and the fifth player overall after Mike Burton, Simon Shaw, Danny Grewcock and Lewis Moody to be sent off playing in a Test for England. He is also only the fifth Englishman in Tests in a list which also includes Mike Burton, Danny Grewcock and Simon Shaw.

England secured victory with the aid of a penalty try and score from Jonny May.

The tactical switch involved driving more mauls, committing fewer players to breakdowns and deploying scrum-half Ben Youngs as a back-field defender to fill the holes.

“If we want to be the great team we’re striving to be, we’re going to have to rectify that”.

England can complete an unbeaten calendar year with victory over Australia next week as the Jones revolution continues.

“I don’t read a lot of the papers, so I’m sure Eddie’s up to his regular tricks but I will try not to make myself aware of it, because it’s kind of irrelevant to what we want to do next week”.

It was the end of the concussed Puma’s afternoon and 75 minutes of toil now awaited England.

It certainly was not as unsafe a tackle and again it was an awkward tap from Estelles which knocked his rival to the ground.

A penalty try and a yellow card for Matias Orlando after an onslaught of pressure and Pumas penalties stretched the lead – Farrell had no troubles converting it either.

Farrell’s first penalty had given England an early edge but they found themselves a man light a minute later when Daly was sent off.

A 27-14 loss to 14-man England at Twickenham on Saturday left Hourcade’s Pumas with four wins and nine defeats in 2016 and the danger of missing out on top-eight seeding in May’s World Cup draw.

ENGLAND: Brown; May, Joseph, O Farrell, Daly; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Hartley (capt), Cole, Lawes, Kruis, Robshaw, Wood, B Vunipola.

Farrell kicked penalties in the 52nd and 64th minutes.

At the time of the incident, referee Jerome Garces explained “it’s not a dynamic situation” to both captains in awarding Mumm a yellow card.
