Agreed. Red for Daly and yellow for the Argie would have been my call too.

Daly was stupid but a rush of blood to the head I think.
He seemed to realise he'd made a mistake and release the man in the air, by which time the damage was done. However, if he'd have held on, he might have been able to bring the man back to the ground safely and got away with a yellow (at worst).

I agree. Alternatively, if he'd jumped to challenge in the air he'd still be on the park.

But he was way off being able to challenge

England have been poor today in many ways, albeit with some good bits in between, but they deserve a lot of credit for the way they've held this together

Disagree, I think, with 14 they have been very, very good.
They are a massive force, and hard as it is to day as a Welshman, they will romp the 6 nations and put 30+ on all the teams, bar perhaps Ireland.
Argentina have been poor, very, bad decisions, kept it too tight when should have gone wide. The yellow cards ruined the game, as they always do.
How Haskell got a job as a pundit in his silly tight suits and pointy shoes beggars belief.

I think we can all agree on this.

Yeah, I guess it's my frustration that Daly got himself sent off and, really, England shouldn't be struggling in the scrum against anyone, albeit they do seem to have got agrip later on. George is a beast.

England should take a lot of confidence from this: learning to win ugly is all part of the journey

thankfully the Argies were poor. I think that even Cuthbert could have run one or two in today. All in all though, I'll take that!

Don't count on that.

Scotland have been playing very well recently which is pleaseing to see as no one likes going into a game knowing it's an easy win instead it will be a test.
Wales - with Howley as head coach it's the issue. He is an ok IC2 but he simply doesn't get the step up not his fault it's simply beyond his abilities.
French always going to be fun
England good to see finally they have some form
Italy hmm too small a Rugby nation to have any impact

I don't know what that means, but at the moment it's France 0, New Zealand 7.
