Couldn't believe the England game outcome once the yellow became a red card send off. I thought that was it; we are in for a thrashing especially on our current form. Down to 14 men against a very strong Argentina (on recent form) and the veteran Ford drop goals were an absolute delight to watch, much like Johnny Wilkinson in 2003 and we know the final outcome of that World Cup. Thank goodness the 80 minutes came quickly towards the end, as the English substitutions saw the game start to swing towards Argentina, A great day for English supporters who have had very little to cheer in recent matches. I still don't rate England's chances this tournament, but It was uplifting to see the team come together and play their hearts out.
Looking forward to watch the South Africans play today, its already looking like the makings of an excellent World Cup and we haven't seen what Fiji, and the other pacific island nations will bring to the event and what upsets may unfold.
