Held on by our fingertips. Ojomoh was exceptional, the only starting back who had a good game in my opinion. The other standout for me was Coles who is every bit a top level test lock.

To be fair beating Argentina with all the disruption of the injuries is no mean feat.

Oh I agree, I just thought the choices at 9 and 15 made it really clear that our plan was to not have very much possession and that was how it played out until Mitchell came on, and then suddenly we were getting through the phases and giving them trouble with ball in hand rather than just testing them under the bomb. That said the best player on the pitch by quite a distance was a guy who wasn't even in the 23 until Thursday.

We won so that's all that matters but 2 tries were individual brilliance from Ojomoh and the other (which he scored) was a fucking mess created by some really poor technical skills on their part. Argentina played poorly and yet, in my opinion, had a far more cohesive plan of attack.
