ITV in decent sporting coverage shocker?

Seems to be good balance and analysis in the studio, from what I can tell with my fuck-all knowledge of rugby, like.

They seemed nervous and copied sky a bit but was decent. Though Dallaglio and Pienaar were about to nick Care's dinner money.

Right...here we go!

They're top seeds in this group but it would still be seen as an upset I think. Not a huge one but guess England are favourites. Just my inbuilt arrogance!

Jill, just thinking we lost to NZ in 91 and still made the final but still, think we need to top the group to have much chance of going far.

Their intro is longer than our entire anthem!

Forgot about the 91 final. I think you're right, about time England had a song of it's own. If Ireland can have two surely we can have something other than the national anthem.

http://www.786cast.tv/channel.php?u=HitSports.Net_52F0X is a decent enough stream

http://www.hitsports.net/ is ok but weird aspect ratio

Ha ha, I feel the same. They could have the equivalent of Ian Wright in the studio and I wouldn't be able to tell.

Fuck sake can tell its the morning still!

I was going to ask why England are wearing black arm bands.....then I realised it was the design of the kit!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #411 on:** September 10, 2011, 09:39:49 am »

Well we know it's going to be tough. Could have been worse.

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #412 on:** September 10, 2011, 09:46:31 am »

Black jerseys. Look like a bunch of tools. Numbers falling of most of their jerseys and we're 10mins into the game. Oh, and the fans are now singing slave songs.

Red_Isle_Chap · « **Reply #413 on:** September 10, 2011, 09:54:17 am »

Not making the english pay for the penalties, i think that'll cost the argies pretty dearly later on.

Some of the penalties seem a bit harsh or am I talking rubbish?

sinnermichael · « **Reply #415 on:** September 10, 2011, 09:57:37 am »

england could easily be down to 14 by now.

Where's the ref from?

Mr Kipling · « **Reply #417 on:** September 10, 2011, 09:58:23 am »

Did we forget our kit and are using a spare All Black kit instead?

Argentina now 6-3 ahead. Not seen Messi all game. Overrated.

harsh? Not really, that's what 3 now for not rolling away? (alright possibly a little harsh, but there we go)

My streams died, any new score?

England need to cut out the stupid mistakes.

This scrum rigmarole is still a puzzle to most players.

How crappy are the English shirts? The numbers are dropping off the shirts

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #425 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:09:23 am »

Poor half hour but slight signs of improvement. Contepomi off so no need to panic...yet!

Red_Isle_Chap · « **Reply #426 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:11:11 am »

Sorry, but you've been warned and warned and warned, that's terrible discipline from the english forwards.

awful penalty kicking from argentina. In fact it's just poor decision making. They've already missed 3, now it's 4. The lad clearly isn't a good long distance kicker (at least not under pressure)

Dr Manhattan · « **Reply #433 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:13:38 am »

Anyone else noticed the extremely hot girl with boom mic over on the touchline?

England are lucky these Argies are shite at penalties or they'd be fucked right now.

It's usually the English who are shit at penalties against Argentina.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #436 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:15:33 am »

Needs a spark, no urgency at the moment. Youngs on maybe?

stevensr123 · « **Reply #437 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:16:13 am »

England are lucky it's still only 6 fucking 3.

Argentines dropping like flies!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #439 on:** September 10, 2011, 10:17:43 am »

Our best bet may be to hope they finish with about 11!
