Farrell’s kicking from the tee is well off today.

Yep, and with Ford's goalkicking being so reliable lately Farrell will need to improve that he wants to keep that job.

It won’t matter today, but fucking hell Farrell has missed another easy one. That’s 9 points we’ve left out there.

Well the last 10 minutes of the half we played sensibly and allowed the numerical advantage to take effect. It should be a stroll now and we just need to make sure no one gets injured when Argentina inevitably bring out the cheap shots. Their world cup is effectively over now so they will want to leave a mark on someone.

As I said earlier, it was clear the mindset Argentina came out with, and a yellow card for the poor, blatant late hit on Farrell would have probably made them reassess. There wasn't an option other than red for the hit by the lock.

Dallaglio suggesting that the hit on Farrell is affecting his kicking. Jonny soon put him right!

England will run away with it second half, Argentina look knackered now.

Hope Marler injury isn’t bad.

Argentina score. England have been rubbish for a while here.

Probably harsh to single him out but I think Heinz is bang average.

I thought we were pretty average for most of the second half and their try seemed to shake us out of a collective stupor.

Game over afted the red card and once England got the 4th they took it down a notch. It was only when they scored that we looked like we woke up. So long as the injuries aren't serious I'd say it was a near perfect game, 45 minutes if graft and then played it like a training session.

Bit boring but I liken it to Juve being 3-0 up with 15 mins to go. Rest players see out the game.

Is the hush in the stadium down purely to Japanese politeness? It's a bit spooky.
