Actually all Scotland have to do is lose by 3 or less. Not that hard surely??

Surely Scotland is a better chance of not letting in four tries than letting in four+ tries and still only losing by 3!

What if the Argis beat England?

Means nothing unless it's by 30+

The Argies have given the Soap Dodgers a few great shunts in the scrums though.

Not making excuses, we are just not up to it, but...
NZ have 2 18 year olds in that starting side and every player has a contract with a provincial side.
We have 4 18 year olds and a 17 year old starting, a lot of our players are signed to amateur clubs back home.

Our chances of not letting in 4 tries is as good as zero, if we score a try I'll be happy.

Argies are right up for this one - giving the Poms a heap of curry.

The men in white are rattled too, despite having a man advantage right now

I might've spoken too early about Cam Skelton. He's taking it to the Boks.

Samoa 5-0 after 35 mins.

Are you on an IRB Stream @Qwerty?

Foxtel are showing ENG v ARG. About to go to Oranges and ENG lead 9-6.

Loving the scrum battle between ENG and ARG. Fucking superb

 

[qwerty51]

Nah another stream. Skelton has looked like a VIP in the game. The Argentina scrumhalf also has a good BOX kick.

Who said scrums are boring?

Argies giving the Soap Dodgers a bath. Beautiful to watch.

ENG defending well with only 14 players, but Los Pumas Juniors get meat out wide under weight of pressure.

Argies take the lead with a conversion 16-14. 71 minutes gone. Call the game off now, Sir.

South Africa and England didn't manage 4 tries. However they didn't need them.

Slight chance for us I guess. GO SCOTLAND

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Argies just couldn't hang on and give away an offside penalty in an easily kickable position which they duly to take the chocolates by 1 point.

17 ENG - 16 ARG.
