Really good start from England. Albeit daft pen.

But already several lapses of discipline.

Angus Gardner must be devastated he had to chalk that off.

Certainly seemed that way

Perhaps he realised that the Argentinians would kick off.

That’s one thing that p!sses me off with them. They turn into petulant twats when they don’t get a decision, appealing for everything. They’ll be doing the ‘give him a card’ hand thing next.
Shame as they can play some great rugby.

It was a weird game, with some lovely tries. It was nice to see England try and play a bit, but bloody hell the discipline continues to be a drag.

England were poor, terrible discipline and stuttering attack again.

I thought we were pretty lucky at the end, not with the grounding but Calouri was 50/50 being called high, if the ref wanted it would've been easy to give a penalty try for it.

This format is definitely much better than friendlies but Fiji and Japan need to be playing home matches. They should be playing in the Southern version of the Six Nations, too. Eight teams in each section with promotion and relegation so the likes of Georgia and Samoa get a chance, too, would be better.
