Only good thing for us out of this is that we've blooded several new players, and we might've found ourselves another 9, a 12 and possibly a 15.

As for the rest, England has our number, as they've been doing for the last decade.

Maybe a little bit overcooked for my taste, but good on them for indulging in it!

A reinforced front 5, but Vivas is still on the bench... Seems like a faster but lighter back row. Maybe trying to dispute the breakdown a bit more. Carreras still at 10. Would've preferred going all the way with the youngsters, or trying Prisciantelli. Another 6-2 bench, Moroni is in to cover multi...

Four changes in the Pumas squad: Guido Petti comes back after losing the Top 14 final and replaces Lautaro Simes. I'd say he's quite likely to start. Gerónimo Prisciantelli joins the squad after recovering from injury, and he might make his international debut at centre or (maybe) at FH. Gonzalo Ber...

Coquard didn't make many friends in the peloton with that.
Not his race either.

Didn't seem to be his fault, though. Got bumped into Philipsen by another rider.

How bad was his own fall in the final turn?

That 2nd half was terrible. We gave away the 1st and never came back from the sheds. Must've been a sad watch. But players need to be blooded, and this was an ideal opportunity. Maybe the lions game made them a little overconfident? I was afraid there was going to be a dip in quality, specially sin...

True story.
Not with these halfbacks.
Montoya must be telling them not to pass it beyond him or a forward.

"Sticking to the gameplan".

Uninspiring half by LP... Scrum solid, lineout good as usual, but nothing from there on. England's defense is rock solid, and there's been no variation whatsoever in our attack. Bertranou is solid but slow, but had one decent choice kicking over the defense for Isgró. Carreras showing he's better at...

Well, that's a surprise so far.
