    Though full marks for including the "da da da da" bit in the middle that football fans always sing.

    I really like this system of upgrading yellows to reds. the ref can't make a mistake and ruin the match by giving an incorrect red anymore

    Got to send the Argentinian guy  off now too surely?

    I haven’t watched live rugby in 5-6 years… I don’t remember clashes of heads being a yellow card, let alone red? That’s mad

    Absolute bollocks:
    The ref didn't even want to give Curry a yellow card until the TMO said look at it again.
    Total stitch up.
    Curry didn't take him out in the air.

    I take it their guy is ok and coming back on from the sin bin.

    whatever they are doing messing around with the anthems is not working for the audience. Not the players in the games I've seen so far.

    what's with ENG playing in navy (rather than red?)

    I will caveat this by saying it relies on having competent officials making the correct decisions

    England do seem to cop a lot of shocking decisions. Freddie Steward got a stinker of a red Vs Ireland recently too

    Really not sure what Curry could do there. Guys momentum has taken him into him more than a anything. No way was it intentionally dangerous but then I don't really know the rules.

    Between the TMO and this little man sitting in a van in Paris, England have been set up.
    The ref thought a penalty was enough until he had his arm twisted.

    Utter garbage decision that red card upgrade.
    No intent, accidental collision ends up being a red.
    Geezer clearly takes yer man out after the kick intentionally, come back on, no problem.
    Games being ruined.

    Superb drop goal by George Ford.

    I’d argue it’s more dangerous to swing your head down like that when you’re coming out of the air. The Argentina yellow was far more dangerous

    Hat trick of dropped goals by Ford.

    I thought dropped goals were out of fashion!

    I love these drop goals.
    Get points at every opportunity.
    Old school.

    That's not a HT scoreline I was expecting...

    Lots of mistakes from Argentina, hope they don't regroup at half time.

    Superb from Ford, second drop goal was class.  Shame we couldn't get that try when May went into touch, need a cushion a man down.

    And I thought VAR was killing football.
    Not really an egg chucking expert, but whatever happened to the like of JPR Williams type tackles.
