Sluggish England leaves fans nervous at Allianz Stadium after Argentina comeback
“A really angsty energy around the Allianz Stadium now, with a Twickenham crowd not accustomed to his sort of sag in the second half pretty frustrated by England’s errors and ill discipline,” writes the Independent’s rugby correspondent Harry Latham-Coyle from Allianz Stadium.
“Argentina are firmly on top at the breakdown, where they are going in with superior physicality on both sides of the ball – it is a real strength of the side at their best.”

England sloppy to start second half against Argentina
“This has been a sloppy start to the half from England, even if they were a little unfortunate, perhaps, to be penalised by referee Pierre Brousset there,” writes the Independent’s rugby correspondent Harry Latham-Coyle from Allianz Stadium.
“Their impressive replacements are readied and might need to have an impact with the starters just wobbling a little after a soft concession of 10 points in 10 minutes.”

Steward takes huge hit after high-ball collision with Isgro
OUCH! Steward is clattered by Isgro, he goes down, wincing and stumbles away. He’s in agony.
Cruz smothered by Pepper, up and over from Argentina and Daly drops it, Delguy has the ball and now Mallia able to dash forward four yards or so. This is dangerous for England… Inside the 22 and knocking on the door.
Pepper thought he won it back, but penalty Argentina, how bold will they be?

England’s clinical edge decisive against Argentina after first half
“A disappointed Luke Cowna-Dickie gnaws on his gumshield as referee Pierre Brousset and TMO Eric Gauzins chalk his try off – in his heart of hearts, you suspect the hooker knew he had lost that as he went to ground after a powerful maul surge,” writes the Independent’s rugby correspondent Harry Latham-Coyle from Allianz Stadium.
“That would have given the hosts plenty of breathing room in a half where their clinical edge has contrasted with that of Argentina, although they will be wary of letting the intensity slip at all after what happened to Scotland last week.”

HT England 17-3 Argentina – Pumas survive after Cowan-Dickie try chalked off
Cowan-Dickie’s hand rolls off the ball, his forearm might just remain on it as the ball passes the try line?
It’s tight, the TMO will take a look. Just as Ford was about to take the conversion…
NO TRY! Groans from the home crowd and a real pity for Cowan-Dickie.
