Argentina v England

:00:35. > :00:45.Its arid, it's dry, ready-made for rugby. England against the Pumas of

:00:46. > :00:53.Argentina. Sensational try. Ten young guys coming. Winner against

:00:54. > :00:58.prop and the winger is the clear winner. England had good players and

:00:59. > :01:04.I'm the even more impressed now by the youth coming through. Big blast,

:01:05. > :01:10.took a while but it has truly come to life. Brilliant buys Slade,

:01:11. > :01:19.lilting forward, and Jonny May get them first. De La Fuente in support,

:01:20. > :01:24.he scores, what a game this is. Argentina's lead grows. Brilliant

:01:25. > :01:30.try. Good support from Slade. Ford has the pace to go all the way.

:01:31. > :01:35.England strike back on this game. Our aim is not to play like that

:01:36. > :01:42.every week, we want more control. The drop goal, up goes Nigel Owens's

:01:43. > :01:46.hand. Argentina take the lead. This has been one of the games of the

:01:47. > :01:52.season, one of the games of many a year. The power of Solomona, he will

:01:53. > :01:59.score, remarkable. England have seized the game.

:02:00. > :02:03.Remarkable it was, Solomona's dazzling try saw a much changed

:02:04. > :02:09.England edged a victory in an epic encounter against Argentina last

:02:10. > :02:15.week. With the Lions with a host of injuries Eddie Jones is deprived of

:02:16. > :02:18.30 players. It caps to ten debutants last week and this week he makes

:02:19. > :02:22.three changes from the team that scored four tries against the Pumas,

:02:23. > :02:27.the most headline grabbing the inclusion of former captain Chris

:02:28. > :02:31.Robshaw. Last week Argentina were a constant threat in attack, good

:02:32. > :02:34.value for their four tries and today they are looking to avenge their

:02:35. > :02:41.last-minute defeat. They made just one change. Welcome to the

:02:42. > :02:47.programme, Saturday Night Live rugby on the BBC, you cannot beat it, we

:02:48. > :02:53.hope for another cracking encounter. There are 143 England caps in the

:02:54. > :02:57.studio this evening -- caps. Jeremy Guscott and Brian Moore, Brian,

:02:58. > :03:00.great to see you, how you feeling? Lucky to be here are many ways but

:03:01. > :03:05.all the more welcome because of that. Feeling better with an England

:03:06. > :03:12.win? Looking forward to it, yes. More of the same? It was interesting

:03:13. > :03:15.to listen to Eddie Jones's quote, our aim is not to play like this

:03:16. > :03:20.every week. I can see there must have been tension for him with the

:03:21. > :03:24.game being so close them Solomona scoring, but when you have players

:03:25. > :03:29.like Ford, Slade and Francis, they are more apt that playing a more

:03:30. > :03:34.open game rather than a structured game, hitting the gain line. They

:03:35. > :03:38.want to lose that use their skills. Eddie Jones on radio 5Live last

:03:39. > :03:44.night said it wasn't a game of rugby but not as much fun for him as us

:03:45. > :03:48.watching in the studio. I can imagine. More than happy watching

:03:49. > :03:52.that game every week, it was fantastic, really open, probably to

:03:53. > :03:57.open for a coach but defensively they need to tweak it a little

:03:58. > :04:01.because they are sloppy. Tom Curry, fantastic debut last week,

:04:02. > :04:05.celebrated his 19th birthday this week, dropped from the squad. Do you

:04:06. > :04:12.understand what Eddie is trying to do? Yes I do. Underhill needs a run

:04:13. > :04:16.out. They have 30 players who aren't here who also have claims, there is

:04:17. > :04:20.limited time he has even though we seem a long way from World Cup,

:04:21. > :04:24.there are very few games. It is unfortunate for him but he is a boy

:04:25. > :04:27.for the future and will to your. He has shown he can play at this level

:04:28. > :04:32.and his future is ahead of him and looks bright. We will talk about the

:04:33. > :04:41.Lions and their performance today, and also what has happened with

:04:42. > :04:43.Warren Gatland calling up players for Wales and Scotland causing

:04:44. > :04:46.social media debate. But a night for Chris Robshaw May be to show gallon

:04:47. > :04:52.what he is made of. Chris is 31, we know what he can do. What he does is

:04:53. > :04:55.performs at a high level every single game, doesn't drop behind it.

:04:56. > :04:59.A consistent player is worth his weight in gold for a coach and the

:05:00. > :05:03.team. You don't see the Flash, Hollywood stuff from Chris, but he

:05:04. > :05:11.has Duracell batteries in his engine and will go the full 80 and be a --

:05:12. > :05:16.is strong in the second half of the first. He grinds on grinds and you

:05:17. > :05:19.want on alongside you in the trenches. There has also been talk

:05:20. > :05:24.about Underhill, a big night for him. He had his opportunity at

:05:25. > :05:29.Twickenham against the Barbarians and lasted 20 minutes. Look at the

:05:30. > :05:33.size of his back, we expect big things, a lot of debate about him.

:05:34. > :05:38.He has moved to Bath and hopefully will go well. Tonight in an England

:05:39. > :05:41.shirt to get his first cap, expect big things of him. Eddie Jones is

:05:42. > :05:48.stockpiling all these young players at the moment, an exciting time to

:05:49. > :05:50.be an England fan. He said he wants contention from three players in

:05:51. > :05:56.every position, and when you get that you are in a good situation. He

:05:57. > :05:59.is not far for it in the vast majority, which augurs really well

:06:00. > :06:05.for English rugby. Let's hear from Eddie Jones talking to the host

:06:06. > :06:09.broadcaster. Thanks for your time. After last week's game did you

:06:10. > :06:14.change anything from your game from last week or will it be similar?

:06:15. > :06:18.It's a different referee, so different ground, different

:06:19. > :06:24.conditions, so we will alter things slightly. Knots of things, you

:06:25. > :06:30.cannot tell anyone? We can't talk with them. The set piece will be

:06:31. > :06:34.important. Against Argentina the set piece is always important. Do you

:06:35. > :06:39.expect something different from Argentina? I think they might focus

:06:40. > :06:44.more on the old-style Argentinian rugby. Every time they get a chance

:06:45. > :06:48.to scrum, scrum long, maybe more little more, but in phase play I

:06:49. > :06:52.think we will see what we have seen in the last three four years. Last

:06:53. > :06:58.one, are you happy you didn't receive a call from New Zealand?

:06:59. > :07:01.Look, I am disappointed my players have been called up but they are

:07:02. > :07:06.playing for England so it is a good second prize. Thank you very much. A

:07:07. > :07:12.reminder, we will talk about the Lions very shortly. We can't wait to

:07:13. > :07:16.get stuck into that. Eddie Jones says he will end this test is

:07:17. > :07:20.halfway through a four-year project, it is all about the World Cup and

:07:21. > :07:25.going to plan so far. Certainly is, they have only one game in the last

:07:26. > :07:28.19 through design, some through injury, missing 30 players but it

:07:29. > :07:34.has allowed him to see how deep the talented. We saw it last week, and

:07:35. > :07:38.let's face it, they acquitted themselves really well. We know

:07:39. > :07:43.about their talent. Someone told but in terms of these guys, on the bench

:07:44. > :07:47.last week, the only person with any experience was Mullen, but they came

:07:48. > :07:54.on really well, Collier in the scrum I thought was outstanding, is I

:07:55. > :07:59.quick, great for him, but Underhill we spoke about, Lozowski will be

:08:00. > :08:04.disappointed not to be involved, and Maunder has a huge feature ahead of

:08:05. > :08:10.him, break -- played brilliantly for Exeter. Probably the worst and best

:08:11. > :08:14.debut for Solomona stop blue he is into a new system, a new game. The

:08:15. > :08:19.tries he has scored this season have been wonderful and he has continued

:08:20. > :08:27.that in the scoring side of the game. His defence wasn't great, he

:08:28. > :08:30.was appalling, but you forget about that a little when he scores the

:08:31. > :08:35.tries at the quality he does. Eddie Jones said in the interview last

:08:36. > :08:46.night on radio 5Live, after the match, I said -- he said he and

:08:47. > :08:50.Denny were going shopping. You are right, he didn't defend well but

:08:51. > :08:56.farewell he redeemed himself. I hope if he comes on and have a positive

:08:57. > :09:01.impact it is not going to wipe out his defence. He wasn't taken down by

:09:02. > :09:04.the poor defensive effort. When he had the opportunity he had the

:09:05. > :09:09.minerals to take it which is brilliant but he has a lot to learn

:09:10. > :09:14.in rugby union. Let's look at the Argentina team, a single change to

:09:15. > :09:17.the starting line-up for this second test, Moyano starting on the right

:09:18. > :09:23.wing in place of Moroni who drops to the bench. His first start against

:09:24. > :09:32.hemisphere side. Do you expect fireworks? I think they will try to

:09:33. > :09:34.play with more control. The half-backs are experienced, in the

:09:35. > :09:38.back row huge experience and a lot of caps. I think at times they lost

:09:39. > :09:41.control... Having put the tries over England they needed them to control

:09:42. > :09:44.the game better than they did. Whilst they will still play

:09:45. > :09:52.expansive rugby I think they will look to exert that control through

:09:53. > :09:58.those five players. Also worth noting, Ugo, that they have been

:09:59. > :10:01.watching the Lions because it is Eddie's goal to be the number one

:10:02. > :10:03.team in the world. Yes, and they are looking for more of the same

:10:04. > :12:51.tonight. It is the second test, Argentina

:12:52. > :12:55.against England, fantastic atmosphere, let's say good evening

:12:56. > :13:01.to our commentary team, Andy Robinson and Eddie Butler.

:13:02. > :13:05.COMMENTATOR: The team is being shown, and all change in the back

:13:06. > :13:09.row bar Nathan Hughes, the Rock, Chris Robshaw, the glue is back,

:13:10. > :13:17.Underhill, the youngster at 20 back from injury. Danny Care and George

:13:18. > :13:23.Ford, Ford, 23 points in the first test last week. Danny Care, second

:13:24. > :13:26.most experienced member of the side, 73rd cap today. Piers Francis comes

:13:27. > :13:34.into the starting line-up in place of Lozowski. Guile rather than grunt

:13:35. > :13:38.in the centre. Yarde and Jonny May try scorers in San Juan. Like Mike

:13:39. > :13:47.Brown they will be busy again this afternoon. Argentina, well, they

:13:48. > :13:55.sensed a set piece dominance last week. They will be coming at England

:13:56. > :14:02.in the set you, Agustin Creevy, the captain, the totem of this Pumas

:14:03. > :14:09.side. Heavyweights in the second row. Lavanini scored, Alemanno, a

:14:10. > :14:13.giant, towering second row forward. Matera was singled out for not

:14:14. > :14:18.having a great start so expect the Argentine backroad to come at

:14:19. > :14:24.England with a burst. Experience at half-backs, over 100 caps between

:14:25. > :14:29.Sanchez and Landajo, and plenty of experience in the centre, Lando and

:14:30. > :14:35.De La Fuente, Tuculet, try scorer last week, the one change, Moyano

:14:36. > :14:42.comes in on the right wing instead of Moroni. Today's referee, John

:14:43. > :14:51.Lacey of Ireland. The sun is out, we have had overcast skies, warm here

:14:52. > :14:59.in Santa Fe. The stadium, home of: Football club given over to rugby

:15:00. > :15:08.today. -- home of Colon football club. We are off. The second test,

:15:09. > :15:26.Argentina against England in Santa Fe. Ford goes long. Boffelli, the

:15:27. > :15:30.try scoring wing takes the catch. Creevy, the captain, Underhill

:15:31. > :15:36.immediately involved. In contact. Not a great deal of length therefrom

:15:37. > :15:40.Tuculet, but a sign on the wind, it has been swirling, good afternoon,

:15:41. > :15:44.Andy Robinson. Yes, there is a little bit of wind out there,

:15:45. > :15:52.looking forward to seeing England put structure in their phase played

:15:53. > :15:55.today. Down off the top from Launchbury, a change of tactic and

:15:56. > :16:09.the ball bounces, they have found space. Moyano involved. Sanchez,

:16:10. > :16:21.straight down the middle. Ford, back for England, the outside-half.

:16:22. > :16:30.Sanchez from his opposite number. There is space there. Brown comes

:16:31. > :16:36.across. Inside his 22. It is a good clearance by Mike Brown. Brown did

:16:37. > :16:40.really well there to cover England. Just one man back in the backfield

:16:41. > :16:45.and Sanchez saw the space, kicked into that space, both sides using

:16:46. > :16:53.the kicking option at the moment, trying to get a feel for the game,

:16:54. > :16:57.some early hits in. Creevy, who is massively worked. Williams wearing

:16:58. > :17:05.three for England, through on the loose ball. Scrum down. Argentina

:17:06. > :17:09.put it. John Lacey the referee. It was an important battle ground, the

:17:10. > :17:12.scrum, always important when you play against Argentina. You will is

:17:13. > :17:27.getting up, knocking the ball on as he went to contest, that is why it

:17:28. > :17:31.is a scrum -- Ewels knocking on. Both looking at getting the bind

:17:32. > :17:39.right. Robshaw hasn't played for six months in a Test match. Played

:17:40. > :17:44.against the Barbarians. Here is an echo of the first test, an epic

:17:45. > :17:48.game, but began with so many reset scrimmages. Both sides trying to

:17:49. > :17:53.fill each other out, the front row is working hard. Scrummaging very

:17:54. > :17:58.low there, England, trying to counteract the power of the

:17:59. > :18:07.Argentinian front row. Williams with the scrum. Hartley in the middle,

:18:08. > :18:15.Ellis Genge on the far side. Landajo to feed the scrum.

:18:16. > :18:23.Very solid for Argentina, forward they go. Leguizamon picks up. Still

:18:24. > :18:33.going. Hughes wrote that out of the way cleverly. Sanchez, as Eddie

:18:34. > :18:44.Jones predicted, Argentina kicking a little more. Follow-up tackle by De

:18:45. > :19:01.La Fuente. Orlando came up hard on the tackle, as did Desio. First

:19:02. > :19:07.penalty. The Argentina coach there. Argentina struggled in the contact

:19:08. > :19:10.area early last week. We see them here coming from the side to kick

:19:11. > :19:16.the ball out. A cheap penalty to give away by Argentina, giving away

:19:17. > :19:29.field position and possession. Allows England to settle. George

:19:30. > :19:39.Ford puts it into Argentina's 22. The new wing, Moyano. Hartley safely

:19:40. > :19:46.through the hands. Nathan Hughes, breaks the first tackle. If Joe

:19:47. > :19:54.Launchbury can stretch out... And gives the pass, and it is a try.

:19:55. > :19:58.Simple, simple play, Charlie Ewels giving a brilliant support line off

:19:59. > :20:05.Nathan Hughes, great power running through. Looking at Charlie Ewels,

:20:06. > :20:10.as he went over, looking a bit strange, great work, Nathan Hughes.

:20:11. > :20:15.Coming up, Launchbury, Ewels on his shoulder, does he hurt himself

:20:16. > :20:20.there? Excellent to see Launchbury and Ewels working so closely

:20:21. > :20:27.together. As he scored the try he just hits the post. England won some

:20:28. > :20:36.structure in their game, get the power running. Ford has the

:20:37. > :20:42.conversion. Great start for England. The depth of Launchbury's carry,

:20:43. > :20:46.being aware of Ewels in support. Both those players played really

:20:47. > :20:54.well last week. Delight on his face then the Greenwich afterwards --

:20:55. > :20:56.grimace afterwards. Argentina have to restart. Sanchez... Changes play,

:20:57. > :21:14.sends it high. Piers Francis. Theory here, it has

:21:15. > :21:21.gone silent. The crowd hurt by that first score, Argentina under real

:21:22. > :21:29.pressure to score -- it is creepy here, the crowd has gone silent.

:21:30. > :21:39.Advantage being played, back to Landajo. Matera shrugs off Hughes,

:21:40. > :21:45.on the wrong side now, no advantage. Penalty against Charlie Ewels, the

:21:46. > :21:49.try scorer! Technical penalty, trying to stop them all, gets in

:21:50. > :21:59.very early then comes in at the side. -- stop the small. Sanchez

:22:00. > :22:15.down into the England 22. It's still a good attacking position. The

:22:16. > :22:21.figure at the front, Lavanini. Alemanno and Leguizamon, the other

:22:22. > :22:27.scrum cap wearer, number eight. It is Lavanini. England trying to get

:22:28. > :22:38.Argentina towards the touchline, away comes Lavanini. Landajo. De La

:22:39. > :22:43.Fuente. Promising from Argentina, penalty, no arms in the tackle.

:22:44. > :22:51.Penalty advantage being played. Landajo. Here is Moyano. Argentina

:22:52. > :22:56.to within a Yarde and a half. Landajo wants it, Matera -- Matera

:22:57. > :23:06.outside him. They come instead through the three quarters. And they

:23:07. > :23:17.score. Straight back. Tuculet opens Argentina's account. Absolute

:23:18. > :23:22.fireworks in this game. Starting the game as they finished last week,

:23:23. > :23:27.Argentina getting powerful carries, great footwork of Tuculet, runs

:23:28. > :23:40.between Brown and Yarde, scores a great try. Straight back into it.

:23:41. > :24:00.Full house here at the stadium. Eruption of sound.

:24:01. > :24:19.Sanchez, who last week passed 500 points for Argentina.

:24:20. > :24:31.Adds a few more to the tally. And we are all square in Santa Fe is. That

:24:32. > :24:35.will have settled Sanchez. You can see the difference, the real

:24:36. > :24:39.physical carries, Hartley penalised for no arms, just using his

:24:40. > :24:43.shoulder. You can see at this contact comes in, just puts his

:24:44. > :24:51.shoulder in, he was going to get penalised by that -- for that by the

:24:52. > :24:56.referee. It is Pieretto, and in the warm up, they were using the tight

:24:57. > :25:03.head prop Pieretto a lot. Escaped down the touchline by Boffelli.

:25:04. > :25:14.Danny Care gets up, in discomfort from the contact. Matera out to make

:25:15. > :25:22.an impact from the start. Landajo. Turnover ball for England. Or is it?

:25:23. > :25:27.It is, turnover is good says John Lacey, and away comes Danny Care,

:25:28. > :25:34.play on says the referee, here is big, strong Nathan Hughes. Had a

:25:35. > :25:38.good game in San Juan, and Genge to Launchbury, Launchbury... Well, it

:25:39. > :25:44.was nearly his second try scoring pass, it went forward, England have

:25:45. > :25:52.another penalty, Hartley slows everything down. Says, let's go for

:25:53. > :25:58.the posts. Three outstanding hits from the England forwards, doubling

:25:59. > :25:59.up in the tackle, one low, one hi, knocking the physical Argentine

:26:00. > :26:19.ball-carriers backwards. George Ford, Knox penalties and

:26:20. > :26:25.conversions over from all angles and distances last week. Danny Care,

:26:26. > :26:26.Landajo, not ten metres! Play on, both scrum-halves seeking guidance

:26:27. > :27:13.from the referee. Over it goes. George Ford two out of

:27:14. > :27:18.two, Argentina 7-10 England. A little bit of wind just holding the

:27:19. > :27:28.ball up. Argentina playing with the wind currently. Sanchez pulls

:27:29. > :27:41.everybody back a few paces, then goes long. Mike Brown.

:27:42. > :27:46.The important thing for England today is that they work hard on the

:27:47. > :27:53.discipline. They cannot give cheap penalties away. They know Argentina

:27:54. > :28:02.will come hard at them all -- at the maul. They have to try to defend

:28:03. > :28:10.this maul legally. Creevy finds Desio. Leguizamon turns the driving

:28:11. > :28:18.maul into a ruck, Creevy weights. Support from his prop, Noguera.

:28:19. > :28:27.Leguizamon again, shall decide Care, Moyano, Landajo -- Leguizamon shoves

:28:28. > :28:33.aside Danny Care. It is not all about running around, there is huge

:28:34. > :28:39.contact, and it has spilled out of the tackle. Solid defending by

:28:40. > :28:46.England. Nathan Hughes. Much better discipline from England. Argentina,

:28:47. > :28:51.you watch this real power step from Leguizamon, Knox Danny Care over.

:28:52. > :28:56.George Ford on the defensive line holding his ground and winning the

:28:57. > :28:58.turnover. Argentina trying to keep the ball at the short side again,

:28:59. > :29:18.they attack their last week. Two number eight, last to go down

:29:19. > :29:22.Hughes and Leguizamon, interesting, Leguizamon trying to ask the crowd

:29:23. > :29:30.to be quiet as Ford prepared the penalty. Few are more difficult

:29:31. > :29:34.things to do in rugby than keep an Argentine crowd quiet! They are very

:29:35. > :29:38.excitable, which is great for rugby, isn't it? To hear the crowd get so

:29:39. > :29:55.involved, so passionate for their rugby.

:29:56. > :30:07.There is more work for the referee to do at the scrummage. Nigel Owens

:30:08. > :30:12.on the far side, and England have been penalised, so, anti-. I am not

:30:13. > :30:17.sure what they have been penalised for, working the gaps, and they were

:30:18. > :30:21.talking about the gaps. One thing Lacey said to the England team is to

:30:22. > :30:24.make sure they don't put weight forward on the setup. Looking at the

:30:25. > :30:40.bind, they have been pushing that bind forward.

:30:41. > :31:00.The upshot is that Sanchez has a chance to level the score.

:31:01. > :31:17.It goes wide. Flag stayed down. England's lead remains three. Time

:31:18. > :31:23.out. REFEREE: We need to check that.

:31:24. > :31:29.Nigel Owens is underneath the posts. Felt it had to be checked. Here we

:31:30. > :31:53.go. Not much in that. I would say that

:31:54. > :32:09.has gone through. Wow. It goals depends when it crosses... Penalty

:32:10. > :32:13.in the end is awarded! Apologies to Nicolas Sanchez from everybody I

:32:14. > :32:24.suppose. The kick is good. And we are all square. We had just about

:32:25. > :32:31.everything a game of rugby could offer last week, we didn't have

:32:32. > :32:36.that. Boffelli. Not a bad kick, way downfield. It doesn't want to go too

:32:37. > :32:42.long. Good ground made. Nathan Hughes, will he have a blast? Know,

:32:43. > :32:48.leaves that for Mike Brown. Territorial gain for the Pumas.

:32:49. > :32:56.Really good territorial gain. The pledge is only 94 metres long. Using

:32:57. > :33:03.the surplus of that pitch to give Argentina the possession and the

:33:04. > :33:13.territory they need. Lavanini with the catch. Penalty advantage to

:33:14. > :33:24.Argentina. Joe Launchbury. In the way. Pointed out by Landajo. Side

:33:25. > :33:29.entry. Another technical penalty for England. They are allowing Argentina

:33:30. > :33:38.to win the ball on the front of the line-out and then trying to fit it

:33:39. > :33:44.into touch. Alternative penalty in the middle of the field. All of side

:33:45. > :33:50.says John Lacey. This is an easier kick for Sanchez. The ball hasn't

:33:51. > :33:56.left the line-out, the bags have to stay back ten metres. They didn't. A

:33:57. > :34:00.little bit of fun and games on the floor. Collapsed malt. Robshaw

:34:01. > :34:08.doesn't have to roll away. He can stay there. Two penalties given.

:34:09. > :34:11.Firstly for side entry per Chris Robshaw and secondly for the bikes

:34:12. > :34:16.encroaching ten metres bid with the ball had left the line-out. England

:34:17. > :34:28.giving away a couple of technical penalties. One at the scrum and two

:34:29. > :34:32.at the line-up so far. The touch judges will be more vigilant than

:34:33. > :34:42.ever. That looks good. The crowd says so. Argentina having gone 7-0

:34:43. > :34:46.down are now 13-10 in front. Very good response from Argentina. Coming

:34:47. > :35:01.to England's ill discipline. Important they are very disciplined

:35:02. > :35:08.in this game. High towards Boffelli. Orlando the centre rows in front. It

:35:09. > :35:14.could have led to trouble. Good ground made by the hooker and the

:35:15. > :35:19.captain. More ground made. The back row involved. Front row involved.

:35:20. > :35:28.All Argentina already upped the ten metre line. Tuculet still going.

:35:29. > :35:34.Great run by the full-back. Was there a high tackle? The touch judge

:35:35. > :35:42.will have a look at that. I think he has alerted Nigel Owens to it. Jonny

:35:43. > :35:49.May. He was back for England, but is the referee?

:35:50. > :35:59.He carried very strongly, Tuculet. Marland Yarde in with the high

:36:00. > :36:13.tackle. The England captain Dylan Hartley

:36:14. > :36:23.has been warned. High tackle. Penalty for Argentina. No ball on

:36:24. > :36:28.the field at the moment. England just dropping off they tackled

:36:29. > :36:37.there. Harry Williams missing one, Danny Care missing one, Joe

:36:38. > :36:49.Launchbury. Sanchez Mike puts it to within 18 metres. Tuculet running

:36:50. > :37:01.through Sam Underhill. Marland Yarde coming in at the side and going in

:37:02. > :37:06.height. -- hi. Clearly wants to take his time. The referee once the ball

:37:07. > :37:13.in. The players swoop around Lavanini. They have to get the ball

:37:14. > :37:21.back. Have England get their hands on the ball? Excellent work. Chris

:37:22. > :37:33.Robshaw has stolen the ball for England. Robshaw wins the ball.

:37:34. > :37:37.Great defensive work from Robshaw at the front of the line-out. And

:37:38. > :37:49.Charlie Yuill is getting through. -- Ewels. They can exert some

:37:50. > :37:56.pressure in their own 22. Both sides of the scrum looking to gain an

:37:57. > :37:59.advantage. Argentina will try to get forward as the ball is put in. Put

:38:00. > :38:24.England on the back foot. Argentina go for the surge, scrum

:38:25. > :38:33.turns. Referee allows played to go on but it is lit. The whistle has

:38:34. > :38:39.gone, Ellis Genge. Huge pressure by Argentina. England will have to face

:38:40. > :38:45.it again immediately. Great pressure. This is what playing in

:38:46. > :38:56.Argentina is about. Argentina won the turnover. A little not gone from

:38:57. > :39:02.Leguizamon in the tackle. Agustin Creevy good little football skills

:39:03. > :39:14.at the end. England tried to go forward on the central.

:39:15. > :39:26.Argentina, they love, if we can see that ankle again, you can see the

:39:27. > :39:39.whole scrum the work, as they come down. They all pull their arms in

:39:40. > :39:47.together. They all work together. It is a real nine man operation.

:39:48. > :39:55.Landajo has a huge part to play with it. Inside looking out. This is very

:39:56. > :40:21.much the world within the world. It is a penalty for England. A

:40:22. > :40:29.technical penalty by Pieretto. You have got to scrum square. John Lacey

:40:30. > :40:37.judging that the angle was inside Ellis Genge onto Dylan Hartley which

:40:38. > :40:50.is why the scrum went backwards. George Ford provides the extra

:40:51. > :41:02.relief. Enrique period to. -- Pieretto that was easy to give. He

:41:03. > :41:11.has got to get his hips square. Joe Launchbury with the catch. England

:41:12. > :41:17.go sideways and then forwards. Nathan Hughes hasn't had much to run

:41:18. > :41:27.onto yet, the big number eight. Danny Care, did that get in touch,

:41:28. > :41:31.Boffelli. A good follow-up tackle by Launchbury. Here is the other second

:41:32. > :41:36.row Lavanini on the other side, Sanchez gets the boot to it and it

:41:37. > :41:44.bubbles away from Danny Care, Mike Brown there to launch a

:41:45. > :41:49.counterattack. Good tackle on him by Alemanno. England suddenly with the

:41:50. > :41:55.chance to run up to halfway through the captain Dylan Hartley. Turnover

:41:56. > :42:06.for Argentina. Penalty is won by Argentina.

:42:07. > :42:19.Argentina implying the chopped tackle by Dylan Hartley, allowing

:42:20. > :42:27.Creevy to get on the ball. Putting him on the floor and Creevy is very

:42:28. > :42:33.strong in there. The right call from John Lacey. I think you can call

:42:34. > :42:47.Agustin Creevy and express of Captain! -- expressive captain.

:42:48. > :43:01.The front rows and referee talking scrummaging. Sanchez just thinks

:43:02. > :43:10.about accuracy. And sort of failed the test a little bit, just pulled

:43:11. > :43:17.it wide. England are only three points down, still in this game,

:43:18. > :43:26.under huge pressure at the moment. A really good test for them.

:43:27. > :43:36.Leguizamon read it well because that was coming out of the sun at him.

:43:37. > :43:48.Landajo waits and finds Tomas Lavanini. Sanchez. He ducks, darts

:43:49. > :43:54.and goes. Mike thumping tackle. I think it is Harry Williams who made

:43:55. > :44:00.the tackle. Somehow Argentina have managed to regain possession.

:44:01. > :44:11.Sanchez tests Aik Brown, the full-back took it well. Gets half

:44:12. > :44:13.through the tackle. Genge. There has been plenty of running but the

:44:14. > :44:39.tackling has been ferocious as well. Care, Yarde follows up with the

:44:40. > :44:44.tackle. Just seeing Chris Robshaw at his very best. Great tackled by Sam

:44:45. > :44:48.Underhill on the kick chase and Robshaw comes so fast to win the

:44:49. > :44:56.turnover. England winning that territory battle. Really good chase.

:44:57. > :45:01.Tuculet catches the ball, Marland Yarde, look at the speed of

:45:02. > :45:05.Underhill, two back row forwards getting in really fast, really good

:45:06. > :45:17.territory gained by England. Great technique employed.

:45:18. > :45:40.George Ford. It's a lovely old stadium. It is now named after a

:45:41. > :45:45.general from the Wars of independence, the war that followed

:45:46. > :45:57.to make Argentina that sort of Federal Republic that it is now.

:45:58. > :46:11.Ford likes it. Touch judges like it. The scoreboard is level. 13 points

:46:12. > :46:16.apiece. George Ford just continuing on from last week, exemplary kicking

:46:17. > :46:30.performance. The difference between the two fly-halves is the accuracy

:46:31. > :46:37.of Ford's goal-kicking. Sanchez. Piers Francis, we haven't seen much

:46:38. > :46:42.of the England midfield yet. Argentina have had a lot of

:46:43. > :46:49.possession since the start. Leguizamon has had lots to do, Harry

:46:50. > :46:53.Williams has felt the heat in the scrum. That is how we expected

:46:54. > :46:58.Argentina to come out. We expected them to a physical and they have

:46:59. > :47:02.been in the contact areas, a good kicking game, England have been ill

:47:03. > :47:11.disciplined which is not allowed them to have the ball. Boffelli,

:47:12. > :47:16.Mike Brown Reddit beautifully. Brown on his own. Frist up in support!

:47:17. > :47:27.Francis is there! Brilliant by England! Majestic by Mike Brown. His

:47:28. > :47:33.timing onto that kick was sensational and then to have the

:47:34. > :47:39.presence of mind to run, Sanchez going for the crossfield kick but

:47:40. > :47:45.watch Brown in the air, fantastic and watched his running line. Space

:47:46. > :47:51.in the five metre channel. Piers Francis runs a superb support line.

:47:52. > :48:00.One-handed off-load, rate work to score the try. Mike Brown changed

:48:01. > :48:06.his line but Piers Francis changed his, read the pass will. Creative

:48:07. > :48:15.space in the channel to stop the Argentine defence come across to

:48:16. > :48:23.make the tackle on Brown. What a game again! Fantastic, it just goes

:48:24. > :48:27.on and on. George Ford having had a kick to level the scores almost

:48:28. > :48:32.immediately as one to put England up to 20 points and a converted try

:48:33. > :48:54.clear, which is some reply. Will it curl? No, it won't.

:48:55. > :49:02.England's new lead stands at five points. An interesting tactic from

:49:03. > :49:06.Argentina. They have been using their power runners to good effect,

:49:07. > :49:16.but Brown timed that perfectly and just watch how he sets up Tuculet,

:49:17. > :49:21.allows Francis great support line in the corner. Back in action. Jonny

:49:22. > :49:43.May takes the cake. -- kick. Nigel Owens, who refereed last week,

:49:44. > :50:05.has swapped with John Lacey. Lacey the man in the middle.

:50:06. > :50:12.Ortega Desio again the target, Argentina, mistake, they won't want

:50:13. > :50:17.England to have a full advantage. So we come back to the scrum. That was

:50:18. > :50:23.a really good running line from Ortega Desio. Unfortunately for

:50:24. > :50:31.handling skills. The ball was fired at him, the pass, creating the

:50:32. > :50:41.knock-on. We seek Leguizamon, fired that pass to Matera. They want to

:50:42. > :50:46.bring Matera into the game, but it seems he is a slow starter. It is

:50:47. > :51:01.not the any more, nearly into the last moments of the first half. Time

:51:02. > :51:07.has shot by. George Ford with a variation, that has gone very high,

:51:08. > :51:18.taken by Tuculet. Tuculet did well to present, Sanchez Way back in his

:51:19. > :51:25.22, but Matera on hand. Better by the wing forward. Allows the captain

:51:26. > :51:34.to make a yard. Orlando can't get past Hartley. Landajo takes his

:51:35. > :51:43.time. Sanchez is going to put a boot to it. Straight down the middle,

:51:44. > :51:57.very deliberate by Sanchez. Jonny May. Tuculet didn't make the mark.

:51:58. > :52:02.Did go for touch this time. England are putting a lot of pressure on

:52:03. > :52:05.Sanchez and trying to stop him from kicking, really working hard to get

:52:06. > :52:10.charge downs. That is forcing Sanchez just to change his mind a

:52:11. > :52:14.bit, not getting the accurate kicking that he would like to imply.

:52:15. > :52:23.Hartley quite happy to get on with the game quickly. Charlie Ewels the

:52:24. > :52:26.try scorer. Here is Sam Underhill, little chance for the new wing

:52:27. > :52:35.forward to have a blast. Harry Williams surges clear. Up to the 22.

:52:36. > :52:42.Charlie Ewels docs it. A rare mistake by the buyer second row.

:52:43. > :52:48.Smart play by Danny Care attacking the Argentine forwards around the

:52:49. > :52:54.rock, attacking the near side of the ruck. Charlie Ewels, a really good

:52:55. > :53:18.low-power tackle. Ellis Genge looks on, just paused

:53:19. > :53:24.while Lucas Noguera Paz some attention. That was a really good

:53:25. > :53:31.scrum. Some really good height. Just as the ball came into they all sang

:53:32. > :53:37.together to stop the Argentine push driving them backwards. -- they all

:53:38. > :53:58.sang together. Noguera back to his feet. Good crowd

:53:59. > :54:02.here in Santa Fe, very much part of the new Argentine approach, to take

:54:03. > :54:08.the Pumas around the country and not just play all their tests in one as

:54:09. > :54:13.I raise. Now they go all over there huge country, from the far West to

:54:14. > :54:31.Santa Fe. Argentina tried to generate more

:54:32. > :54:47.shove, John Lacey gets them to hurry up. George Ford with the tackle.

:54:48. > :55:08.Lavanini to Creevy, England read that as well. Sanchez back in the

:55:09. > :55:17.pocket where we go this time. Towards Mike Brown. Jonny May off

:55:18. > :55:39.his wing in close support of Brown. The young England forwards just

:55:40. > :55:41.knocking the ball on in the tackle, some really big physical heads

:55:42. > :55:48.coming in from all the Argentine defenders, but good to see Brown and

:55:49. > :55:55.may working hard together. Another low tackle. And Underhill just

:55:56. > :56:13.spilling the ball as he hit the floor. Let's go, says John Lacey.

:56:14. > :56:18.One and a half minutes to go. The Argentine scrum has been going

:56:19. > :56:21.forward. John Lacey has made them play the ball away from it, good

:56:22. > :56:47.defensive technique by England. Free kick, Argentina. Landajo took

:56:48. > :56:58.it quickly. Ortega Desio in support. Lavanini, Sanchez didn't get a hand

:56:59. > :57:06.to it, play on. De la Fuente. Get past Danny Care, de la Fuente, a

:57:07. > :57:24.resurgent Argentina on the stroke of half-time. Noguera drives it on.

:57:25. > :57:35.Sanchez. Crossing, crossing, he was coming off his wing. An injury back

:57:36. > :57:44.in the own have. Clear and obvious from Lavanini. Alemanno going in

:57:45. > :57:51.front. He is a big blow to get in front of you. As Sanchez is running

:57:52. > :57:55.across the field he needs to be squaring up a bit more to bring a

:57:56. > :58:09.man like Alemanno onto the ball. Jonny May is down. Matera is happy

:58:10. > :58:14.to go. De la Fuente played very well last week. Exceptional break them.

:58:15. > :58:18.But what England have been smart with is their scrambled defence,

:58:19. > :58:22.their work off the ball has been exceptional. They did very well

:58:23. > :58:34.there to get behind the ball and stop the Argentine attack. George

:58:35. > :58:42.Ford restarts play. The ball goes into the moat which kills around

:58:43. > :58:53.this ground. The hooter goes for half-time. -- goes around this

:58:54. > :58:59.ground. England secure. Ellis Genge has his hands on the ball. Lavanini

:59:00. > :59:06.came through. Genge crawls a couple of yards. Care behind Boffelli.

:59:07. > :59:14.Boffelli jigs checks were Marland Yarde is and that will be half-time.

:59:15. > :59:18.John Lacey ends it and motherly heads for the changing rooms at the

:59:19. > :59:27.far end of the ground. Argentina 13-18 England.

:59:28. > :59:30.STUDIO: And remember it was 17-13 to Argentina at half-time last weekend

:59:31. > :59:34.and you know what happened at that. Ryan Moore we had a try -fest,

:59:35. > :59:39.heading that way again. I said last week it was a gloriously flawed game

:59:40. > :59:42.and it is the same here. England starting very well. It could have

:59:43. > :59:48.been even better. Very well-organised first try then it

:59:49. > :59:51.kept Argentina in the game by three or four success of unnecessary

:59:52. > :59:57.penalties and actually Jones will be very pleased that the experience of

:59:58. > :00:04.Brown and Ford behind and Rob Short and Launchbury capped England in the

:00:05. > :00:08.lead. I love it, gloriously flawed, however it is very entertaining,

:00:09. > :00:13.Ugo. It certainly is. Six times England gave possession away early

:00:14. > :00:18.doors but it was great for them to get into the game in terms of the

:00:19. > :00:21.game plan but defensively poor last week and conceding four tries, this

:00:22. > :00:25.week they have missed 11 tackles that will be a key fix. Looking at

:00:26. > :00:30.the stats Argentina have had a lot of the ball. Yes, they haven't made

:00:31. > :00:35.the most of it. The game has so much momentum. When you have that much

:00:36. > :00:38.possession and territory, they had at four minute period where England

:00:39. > :00:43.were under the cosh and they conceded penalties and one or two

:00:44. > :00:48.penalties and they missed one and that gave the moment and England has

:00:49. > :00:55.slowly clawed their way back into this second-half. Let's take a look

:00:56. > :00:59.at some of the big moments. Charlie Ewels getting his first try for

:01:00. > :01:03.England. I love this simplicity, it is beautiful. Carrie, keep the ball

:01:04. > :01:10.alive. Quick ball is what everybody wants. They have come from the

:01:11. > :01:18.second row, Launchbury and Ewels and they are powerful tall guys. This is

:01:19. > :01:22.so clean, it is simple basic rugby and attacks in space and they come

:01:23. > :01:27.with pace. Always going to be difficult to defend against.

:01:28. > :01:34.They will be frustrated how they started last week and they couldn't

:01:35. > :01:40.have kept it simpler. Simple try. It is tit for tat, Ugo, because

:01:41. > :01:47.Argentina comes stalking back. , defensively poor. I think Yarde

:01:48. > :01:55.should be blitzing. He can't be hovering like that. That is not the

:01:56. > :02:00.aggressive press we know in English rugby but fair play to Argentina,

:02:01. > :02:04.they bounced back well and it was simple, Tuculet outstanding last

:02:05. > :02:08.week, finished well. The Pumas are showing us what they can do. How

:02:09. > :02:13.many times have we seen teams not be precise and decide what to do? Last

:02:14. > :02:20.week they took it short and smashed it over and at least this week they

:02:21. > :02:23.had Sanchez and space to running. Yesterday the defence was passive,

:02:24. > :02:29.but at least they had the ambition to go for it. Have you seen a

:02:30. > :02:33.dramatic improvement in Argentina, being five metres out and able to

:02:34. > :02:37.execute. Perhaps a few years ago we wouldn't have seen that. They called

:02:38. > :02:41.it early, normally that is a last option when they have been battering

:02:42. > :02:46.the line. They think, we might as well. This time it was only two or

:02:47. > :02:57.three phases in and they saw the gap and have the confidence to do that.

:02:58. > :03:02.The Ugo have been doing a lot of that in Super Rugby and it shows. --

:03:03. > :03:06.the Jaguares. If Eddie Jones wants England better than they will backs

:03:07. > :03:10.you cannot afford to miss opportunities. We saw evidence of

:03:11. > :03:14.that the other day from New Zealand. This is what Danny Care does best,

:03:15. > :03:19.get tempo into the game. They moment they get over the advancing line,

:03:20. > :03:25.this is exactly what they do, then it is down to execution. That is

:03:26. > :03:29.four on one, three on the end with Launchbury, Genge, catch, pass,

:03:30. > :03:33.should be a simple try. Simplicity in the game takes you from being

:03:34. > :03:38.number two to number one in the world. The signs of a side coming

:03:39. > :03:43.together and not knowing each other well because Francis there, the new

:03:44. > :03:50.boy, should have got Launchbury and Genge out of the way and boss the

:03:51. > :03:54.situation. Let him use his footwork and trickery and big passing, but

:03:55. > :04:00.when you get forwards in the way they think they are bags, they are

:04:01. > :04:05.not! Get out of the way, Brian! LAUGHTER There is a lot George will

:04:06. > :04:09.be pleased about -- Jones will be pleased about a first half. When

:04:10. > :04:14.England have possession they have looked threatening and if you can

:04:15. > :04:17.create things, you are in better position than scrapping when things

:04:18. > :04:22.are ill disciplined. You have the situation where they need to be more

:04:23. > :04:28.precise and exact. You have been frustrated by England's mistakes. Of

:04:29. > :04:34.course because we want perfection. We are not moaning. We are moaning!

:04:35. > :04:37.But for the right reason. This is a flare-up, you understand that but

:04:38. > :04:43.the problem is they give the penalty away. Another one here, the wrong

:04:44. > :04:47.side. This is on the ten metre line, it is not going anywhere, you can

:04:48. > :04:52.afford to give them five metres here. The old adage, you cannot

:04:53. > :04:57.defend kicks at goal. You are right. What we see is a succession of

:04:58. > :05:03.penalties, painting the wrong picture in the referee's mind. This

:05:04. > :05:08.is Yarde, pressure on pressure and pressure, or within five minutes,

:05:09. > :05:13.they have given away free needless penalties, and that allows... They

:05:14. > :05:17.are between the ten metre line is, not an extremist. You have to giving

:05:18. > :05:24.them credit, they have scored wonderful tries on this tour. Yes,

:05:25. > :05:29.the last try is amazing in itself, although... And off-load is still a

:05:30. > :05:38.pass, give him that much. The pass here from the Pumas not executed to

:05:39. > :05:42.well. Brown has read it very well, stepped the defence and move the

:05:43. > :05:47.defence so there is space for Francis to come through. He did

:05:48. > :05:50.brilliantly to get there in support. Mike Brown as safe as houses in the

:05:51. > :05:56.air. He will be disappointed that Corey Allen in New Zealand instead

:05:57. > :06:00.of himself. He is showing what he can do. The ability to turn defence

:06:01. > :06:04.into attack but also the dexterity to get the off-load away and

:06:05. > :06:09.France's scores his first England try. He did it again because last

:06:10. > :06:15.week he had "Go with Ford and this week he is the scorer. The beauty of

:06:16. > :06:21.that is Brian has been criticised for not passing a lot of his career

:06:22. > :06:25.but what he has done there is drag the defence infield and Francis has

:06:26. > :06:29.read it. We will look ahead to the second half shortly. Let's bring you

:06:30. > :06:33.up-to-date with all the rugby from this weekend, lots of international

:06:34. > :06:37.matches, Wales beating Tonga yesterday and New Zealand trashing

:06:38. > :06:41.Samoa. We will talk Lions at full-time after they put in an

:06:42. > :06:46.excellent performance earlier today against the marry all backs. Gatlin

:06:47. > :06:56.called at six Wales and Scotland players, two in two put Scotland

:06:57. > :06:58.coach Gregor Townsend doing a marvellous job beating Australia in

:06:59. > :07:00.Sydney. We will hear from him later. Ireland beat Japan and a fine win

:07:01. > :07:05.for England women beating New Zealand. England's first away

:07:06. > :07:09.victory in New Zealand since 2001. They recovered from 14-7 down after

:07:10. > :07:15.half an hour to win a ninth game in the row on Sunday and Emily Scaratt,

:07:16. > :07:20.Lydia Thompson, Marlie Packer and clicky -- Vicky Fleetwood scoring

:07:21. > :07:25.the tries. Let's hear from England captain Sarah Hunter. Immensely

:07:26. > :07:28.proud. Through this competition we have done well. One thing we set as

:07:29. > :07:34.a target was to find out where we are as a squad and a team before we

:07:35. > :07:40.came out here. Tonight Show bout, coming across to rugby mad country

:07:41. > :07:45.is not easy, to come and play away, we found out the hard way when we

:07:46. > :07:49.lost three tests three years ago. Tonight was a showcase of women's

:07:50. > :07:54.rugby, the top two sides in the world going hammer and tongs, and we

:07:55. > :07:59.are happy about our performance. A magnificent achievement, well done

:08:00. > :07:59.to Sarah. On the BBC we have a magnificent summer of great British

:08:00. > :08:55.sport. Before you know it the autumn

:08:56. > :09:02.internationals will be starting as well. Sailing for you tomorrow on

:09:03. > :09:09.BBC Two. Challenge Cup action Ben. That is the last of the four rugby

:09:10. > :09:15.league quarterfinals. We also have rowing presented by Sir Matthew

:09:16. > :09:22.Pinsent. A huge game at the Oval tomorrow, big rivalry, Pakistan

:09:23. > :09:24.taking on India. Then tennis from Queens, BBC Two, Sue Barker

:09:25. > :09:31.presenting, can Andy Murray defend his title?

:09:32. > :09:38.We are off, the second test, Argentina against England in Santa

:09:39. > :09:44.Fe. Launchbury stretches out and give the past and it is a try.

:09:45. > :09:51.Through the crew quarters and they score. Straight back. Fun and games

:09:52. > :09:57.on the floor in the collapsed more. Mike Brown read it beautifully.

:09:58. > :10:05.Brown on his own. Francis is there, brilliant for England. What a game

:10:06. > :10:10.again. LAUGHTER. Is goes on and on! Looking forward to the second half.

:10:11. > :10:15.We haven't seen an angry Argentina, we expect a backlash but they have

:10:16. > :10:19.been angry. They are feeling pressure. The season has been

:10:20. > :10:23.appalling, they have not set the world alight since the World Cup

:10:24. > :10:29.performances. They need to get bored of one another, they pay in the

:10:30. > :10:33.superb 18 as a Pumas side and spend too much time together. There is no

:10:34. > :10:38.inspiration yet. Argentina have plateaued. We saw them burst into

:10:39. > :10:41.the scene, you mention the World Cup, their introduction the

:10:42. > :10:46.championship helped ring them to another level but ten losses from

:10:47. > :10:50.the last 12, terrible defeat last week, no pun sure-fire today, we

:10:51. > :10:54.hope to see better in the second half. From an English perspective

:10:55. > :10:58.more of the same. Danny Care said after last week, I have not played

:10:59. > :11:02.like that for a long time, a fast game. He might be saying the same

:11:03. > :11:06.thing at the end of this game, saying I have not played like this

:11:07. > :11:12.since last week? Eddie Jones will just want more control. When England

:11:13. > :11:18.get awed at -- organised they look capable side. Let's take you back to

:11:19. > :11:25.Santa Fe, and this stadium by the way is known as the Elephant's

:11:26. > :11:31.Graveyard take it away. COMMENTATOR: It is, it comes from

:11:32. > :11:35.the world of football but applies to rugby as well. Argentina haven't

:11:36. > :11:40.lost here. They beat Ireland in 2007 and Italy a couple of years ago.

:11:41. > :11:56.They trail England by five points at half-time. Referee John Lacey

:11:57. > :12:03.just... Can you hear me now? I have got you now. Communication issues

:12:04. > :12:13.amongst the officials. It seems the players have been

:12:14. > :12:15.recharged and recharge their batteries but the referee's

:12:16. > :12:36.microphone has not been recharged! The slightest pause. Sam Underhill,

:12:37. > :12:40.the young England flanker. Piers Francis. It's a young England team

:12:41. > :12:46.out here in Argentina but one wind behind them, leading at half-time,

:12:47. > :12:57.one half to go on this tour. Sanchez gets us under way, Launchbury goes

:12:58. > :12:58.high. Here is Underhill. Danny Care weights and watches as Nathan Hughes

:12:59. > :13:11.comes away with it. Leguizamon catches well, under

:13:12. > :13:15.pressure from Underhill, and especially Jonny May.

:13:16. > :13:30.Alemanno. He rumbles and rolls through a couple of tackles, the big

:13:31. > :13:37.second row. Landajo. He goes high. Desio got hands to it. It has come

:13:38. > :13:49.away. Ellis Genge. Matera tries to hold him off the ground. Genge sets

:13:50. > :14:07.out the ruck. Ford. Sanchez makes the mark and goes. Boffelli.

:14:08. > :14:18.Oops! Argentina have to regroup. England steal it through Chris

:14:19. > :14:23.Robshaw. Jonny May. Couldn't pick it up first time, goes backwards to go

:14:24. > :14:33.around, Ford, long to Henry Slade. Mike Brown.

:14:34. > :14:42.Genge to his fellow prop Harry Williams.

:14:43. > :14:52.Oh, beautiful angle run by Robshaw. Ford. Switches play. Genge, gets a

:14:53. > :15:01.really good pass away to Slade, but it was knocked on. Argentina trying

:15:02. > :15:05.to play out from their own half, trying to find some rhythm, but they

:15:06. > :15:09.can't get it going because of the really good England defence. If

:15:10. > :15:12.England can start well in this first ten minutes they could blow away

:15:13. > :15:18.this Argentine side. They lack confidence with the ball in hand.

:15:19. > :15:24.You see hardly getting the pass away to Genge, Genge looking up, just a

:15:25. > :15:29.knock-on, contact by Slade. We saw an outstanding pass and running line

:15:30. > :15:33.from Robshaw there, brilliant pass from Ford. We didn't see a lot of

:15:34. > :15:43.that in the first half, important to see that in the second half.

:15:44. > :16:06.Leguizamon finds Landajo. There could be numbers here. Sanchez.

:16:07. > :16:12.Landajo with a show and go. Orlando, not held, it carries on, brilliant

:16:13. > :16:17.to Leguizamon. Robshaw just the once down to the wing, advantage being

:16:18. > :16:22.played, Argentina, their best passage of play in the entire game,

:16:23. > :16:29.can it lead to something? Landajo with another sweet little pass to

:16:30. > :16:38.the scrum-half. It is all about the advantage now. Argentina have been

:16:39. > :16:43.stopped slightly. Delicately played. Argentina have to be careful. We are

:16:44. > :16:50.still playing the advantage. Sanchez knew what he was doing. The

:16:51. > :16:59.advantage for the high tackle by Mike Brown stopping right at the

:17:00. > :17:04.end, as good full-backs do, just got his timing slightly wrong, got it

:17:05. > :17:09.high. England work hard to get behind the defence. They are showing

:17:10. > :17:15.their fitness after the made by De La Fuente.

:17:16. > :17:20.Good support play, as you said. Orlando carrying well. Great flowed

:17:21. > :17:26.through to Leguizamon. He has carried strongly. Not many people

:17:27. > :17:31.bash Robshaw out of the way. Brown just got his timing wrong. England

:17:32. > :17:38.were then able to slow up Argentina which meant they kicked the ball

:17:39. > :17:44.away. Sanchez, missed with his last penalty attempt. Will want to get

:17:45. > :17:55.this. Oh, he's pushed that horribly wide. Oh! Six points go begging from

:17:56. > :18:08.his last two kicks. The gap, five points.

:18:09. > :18:28.Was that another high tackle? Nigel Owens... Argentina through Lavanini,

:18:29. > :18:53.seem to think it was high. Jonny May and Lavanini still at it.

:18:54. > :19:10.Apologies for the rightness of the language! -- the ripeness of the

:19:11. > :19:16.language. Lacey just wants to check the original tackle which was the

:19:17. > :19:23.spark point. It seems as if it just went high, Jonny May comes in. It is

:19:24. > :19:39.a high tackle. There is ducking into the tackle. Clear and obvious.

:19:40. > :19:47.Moyano, and because Jonny May doesn't let him go this might be

:19:48. > :20:00.yellow. Oh, no, just a penalty. John Lacey the coolest head out there. As

:20:01. > :20:01.I say, Creevy is expressive! The first bit of real emotion we have

:20:02. > :20:22.seen their from the Argentine side. Sanchez down the line. Now, while

:20:23. > :20:25.their blood is boiling and while they have a territorial advantage,

:20:26. > :20:34.they really should be looking to get something out of this. We have a

:20:35. > :20:39.replacement on the Argentine side as they lose the ball then fight to get

:20:40. > :21:01.it, Guido Petti is on. Now, Chaparro on the front row,

:21:02. > :21:05.Guido Petti in the second. Chaparro played at tight head last week,

:21:06. > :21:09.comes on loosehead this week. Petti coming on early in the second row,

:21:10. > :21:20.had a good game for Argentina in that second half last week.

:21:21. > :21:42.Desio and Robshaw the wing forwards on the near side.

:21:43. > :22:12.Eddie Jones looks pretty cool, as well. Five points, his team's lead.

:22:13. > :22:24.Ellis Genge. Change your behaviour or you go in the bin, yellow card,

:22:25. > :22:31.you understand? Pieretto singled out, last chance. A warning to the

:22:32. > :22:36.two young props. Nobody wants to give an inch, Genge is certainly not

:22:37. > :22:40.giving an inch. Pieretto constantly putting his knee on the floor. It is

:22:41. > :22:52.important that he keeps that up otherwise he will be penalised by

:22:53. > :23:02.John Lacey. Argentina try to get the second shove on. It's gone sideways.

:23:03. > :23:04.It has been dropped. Lacey says get on with it. England get the

:23:05. > :23:18.turnover. Yarde has knocked it on. The Argentine scrum will be

:23:19. > :23:22.frustrated, they feel they are on the front foot going forward but

:23:23. > :23:31.Lacey is calling the ball out as is right and Argentina make another

:23:32. > :23:38.substitution. Herrera comes on. Ramiro Herrera comes on instead of

:23:39. > :23:50.Enrique Pieretto. So the Pumas front row hasn't got any smaller. Here is

:23:51. > :23:54.the new man, Herrera. Always frustrating for a forward pack when

:23:55. > :23:56.you are going forward and the ball is dropped in the Centre for the

:23:57. > :24:10.first phase attack. We had a surge by Argentina, but

:24:11. > :24:18.this opening ten minutes of the second half has been a scrappy old

:24:19. > :24:22.business. Argentina go for the big drive. England give, then Nathan

:24:23. > :24:28.Hughes manages to pick up and come away with it. Henry Slade has lost

:24:29. > :24:35.the ball. Orlando passes world Tuculet. Tuculet runs into Joe

:24:36. > :24:47.Launchbury. Argentina line-up the big forwards. Matera. And then kick

:24:48. > :24:55.again. Jonny May was back safely enough. The crowd felt that was

:24:56. > :25:06.forward from Jonny May to Ford. Now, this could go all the way. Very well

:25:07. > :25:11.judged by George Ford. Now kicking downwind. Not much of its. A great

:25:12. > :25:15.way to relieve pressure, just to kick the ball straight at the posts.

:25:16. > :25:22.Luckily it is only a seven metre goal area, in-goal area, luckily the

:25:23. > :25:36.ball did stop dead. Allowing England to get the possession back now from

:25:37. > :25:46.this 22 restart. Sanchez, long. Nathan Hughes.

:25:47. > :25:54.Francis. That one doesn't come off. Surging through, the bounce is

:25:55. > :26:05.all-important, the bounce is going to work in their favour! Spectacular

:26:06. > :26:12.kick from Francis, just charged down. Matera under pressure after

:26:13. > :26:19.the first test, scores in the second. You see this tackle on the

:26:20. > :26:24.short side, nothing on for Francis, he tries to kick the ball through,

:26:25. > :26:32.showing great footballing skills, Matera gets over the line.

:26:33. > :26:43.Just a slight change of momentum there to get Argentina on the front

:26:44. > :26:50.foot. He knows it! Oh! Under instructions to get more involved.

:26:51. > :26:55.And the delicate football skills as well to go with the raw power and

:26:56. > :27:10.strength. Now, then, Sanchez for the lead.

:27:11. > :27:24.Curls it, curls it, but not enough. We are all square in Santa Fe. A

:27:25. > :27:29.change on the England side as we re-examine Piers Francis's charged

:27:30. > :27:37.down cake. Back row forward Pablo Matera with the try. Matt Mullan is

:27:38. > :27:44.on for England, Jonny May in hot pursuit. Lavanini can't take it.

:27:45. > :28:01.It's going to be a throw to Argentina.

:28:02. > :28:22.Creevy rides the tackles, and hard tackles they were as well. Melon and

:28:23. > :28:27.lawn spree involved, Robshaw involved in the counter rucking. A

:28:28. > :28:32.lot going on there -- Mullan and Launchbury involved. A lot going on

:28:33. > :28:39.off the ball, over the ball, and now in the air. Jonny May under pressure

:28:40. > :28:53.from Ortega Desio, made as well, good pick-up by Mullan. Care to

:28:54. > :29:02.Ford, to Launchbury. Chaparro with the tackles... Was that a deliberate

:29:03. > :29:08.knock-on? By Orlando? Just the knock-on. Scrimmage. England

:29:09. > :29:15.starting to bring some phases together. We saw only one attack

:29:16. > :29:19.early on in this second half, and England just not finding their

:29:20. > :29:26.rhythm, knocking the ball on, or Argentina getting their hand in. We

:29:27. > :29:29.can see the kick from Francis, a speculative kick, not going anywhere

:29:30. > :29:40.with that kick, would have been better to push it down town. And

:29:41. > :29:43.build the pressure on Argentina. Tomas Lezana comes on, try scorer

:29:44. > :30:00.Pablo Matera comes off. Mullan did a really good job when he

:30:01. > :30:05.came on last week to secure the scrum. It is important for him to do

:30:06. > :30:07.that now. As England look to build some pressure, get some phases

:30:08. > :30:26.together to get on the front foot. Care gets the ball away from the

:30:27. > :30:32.scrummage. Again, Henry Slade has knocked it on. All turned over, to

:30:33. > :30:38.collect changes direction -- Tuculet changes direction. De La Fuente,

:30:39. > :30:42.loose to Mike Brown, and Brown is off. Brown finds Danny Care, Care

:30:43. > :30:53.for the line, England are back in the lead! Incredible pace from Brown

:30:54. > :30:59.and Care. Henry Slade knocks the ball on, counterattack back, try

:31:00. > :31:03.something speculative. De La Fuente, pour offload and simple

:31:04. > :31:07.counterattack from Brown into the space. Care reads him really well,

:31:08. > :31:11.the Harlequins team-mates looking well together.

:31:12. > :31:18.There is the float that goes astray. I suppose the referee must have said

:31:19. > :31:23.advantage over by that stage because there was a clear break by the

:31:24. > :31:31.Pumas. The referee called that really early, watched that. England

:31:32. > :31:34.have practised a lot from turnover ball and you can see how shocked

:31:35. > :32:11.they are when they receive turnovers.

:32:12. > :32:32.That is good. The flags are up. England seven points in the lead.

:32:33. > :32:40.As soon as the turnover occurred, the awareness of Care to pick up the

:32:41. > :33:00.run from Brown and he runs into touch. Piers Francis. He keeps it.

:33:01. > :33:12.Leguizamon onto it. Dylan Hartley. Nathan Hughes over the ball.

:33:13. > :33:37.Herrera of the new prop. Lezana another replacement. Lavanini,

:33:38. > :33:49.Creevy. England solid in their defensive, slow and release. Even

:33:50. > :34:05.now through the summer... Here they are now! Boffelli! Scored in the

:34:06. > :34:13.first test, scores in the second. It is another cracker of a game. Really

:34:14. > :34:20.patient build-up from Argentina. Find the numbers on the short side.

:34:21. > :34:30.Hartley beaten for pace. Boffelli scorers. Really good execution.

:34:31. > :34:37.England were so organised and then they weren't. Argentina just found

:34:38. > :34:45.an edge, manage to get a bit of go forward on the Carrie and beat them

:34:46. > :34:56.four numbers on the short side. On the hour mark we are a level again.

:34:57. > :35:08.25 points all. Some really good curries. Putting England on the back

:35:09. > :35:13.foot. De la Fuente mix-up with his error for his well executed pass.

:35:14. > :35:21.This time he did and is trite speculative off-load. Harry Williams

:35:22. > :35:29.has gone off. Some Underhill has gone off. Changes on the England

:35:30. > :35:41.side. As the try scorer sets off again. This time he is stopped. Good

:35:42. > :35:47.clearance, Argentina out of there own half, Agustin Creevy is off.

:35:48. > :36:10.Julian Montoya, he can play. Just building a little breather.

:36:11. > :36:18.Trusts his boot. We are back in the England have. It is setup for a

:36:19. > :36:31.great minutes again with Hernandez looking to come on.

:36:32. > :36:38.Mark Wilson is on for England, he played so well in the first test.

:36:39. > :36:42.Jonny May looks as though he is struggling a little bit with an

:36:43. > :36:50.ankle injury. Just talking to the bench. Nicolas Sanchez comes off.

:36:51. > :36:57.Captain Dylan Hartley stays on the field. All the changes start to

:36:58. > :37:02.happen now. Joe Launchbury wins, down to Danny Care, need and use,

:37:03. > :37:10.first time we have seen the big number eight on the charge. Robbs of

:37:11. > :37:18.passes well. -- Robshaw. Good tackling by Argentina. England

:37:19. > :37:28.controlled the ball well. Chris Robshaw, aurora goes up every time a

:37:29. > :37:33.tackle is made. -- a roar. Piers Francis, no way through for him.

:37:34. > :37:41.Care goes upstairs and that might be overdone. Advantage Argentina. Great

:37:42. > :37:46.defensive setup from Argentina. England running into brick walls,

:37:47. > :37:50.need to run in twos and threes trying to get a tip on pass. Trying

:37:51. > :37:55.to get it forward but Argentina match them with double tackles. Kept

:37:56. > :38:05.forcing Care to give the ball straight out. This is the new

:38:06. > :38:16.hooker, Will Collier is in on the front row. It has gone list. Wilson

:38:17. > :38:35.scrum-half, Hartley acting outside-half. Ford.

:38:36. > :38:45.It has come safely into the hands of the blue and white shirts. A little

:38:46. > :38:53.kick through, no foul, Marland Yarde turns. Chasers, picks it up, makes

:38:54. > :38:58.it to the halfway line exactly. Brown, there is room for England.

:38:59. > :39:09.Nathan Hughes. Piers Francis, Jonny May. Advantage England. A little

:39:10. > :39:14.phase of play. A lot better from England. Just moving towards an

:39:15. > :39:31.attack. Getting the ball away from the big heavy contacts. A smart kick

:39:32. > :39:38.from May enables to get possession back for England, five metres away

:39:39. > :39:47.from the Argentina line. Good attacking position. Nathan Hughes

:39:48. > :39:59.has the ball. It is now in the hands of Matt Mullan. Dylan Hartley has

:40:00. > :40:06.it. The twist and return and the slow progress towards the line.

:40:07. > :40:21.England claim they try, the referee agrees with them. Will Collier they

:40:22. > :40:25.try scorer. Good impact of the bench. Well played, the England

:40:26. > :40:30.forwards, they set them all up beautifully. Really good body

:40:31. > :40:34.heights. You see Mullan and Hughes working in front of the ball

:40:35. > :40:39.creating a really good luck and England just keep moving forward.

:40:40. > :40:43.Partly doing some real damage, collier finding the line, but the

:40:44. > :40:50.England have won the tactical battle up front. They have stopped

:40:51. > :40:54.Argentina's Maul going and scoring. Just got the upper hand. Well done

:40:55. > :41:08.to the England forwards. England four tries last week, four

:41:09. > :41:38.tries again today. George Ford with the conversion.

:41:39. > :41:47.The lead grows. Seven points again. George Ford straight through the

:41:48. > :42:00.middle. More changes on the England side. Alex Lozowski is on offer

:42:01. > :42:15.Piers Francis. Juan Martin Hernandez high towards Joe Launchbury. Mark

:42:16. > :42:18.Wilson and Nathan Hughes. Penalty advantage when Nathan Hughes went

:42:19. > :42:32.down and he didn't like it. Nathan Hughes is hurt. He came at the side,

:42:33. > :42:39.Lavanini, chopped him at his knee, dangerous play from Lavanini.

:42:40. > :42:43.Straightaway Nathan Hughes knew. What's that technique. Very

:42:44. > :42:48.dangerous to catch ride on his knee. That has got to be the end of Nathan

:42:49. > :42:58.Hughes. The need didn't want to go that way at all. -- need.

:42:59. > :43:19.England are using their Maul again to great effect.

:43:20. > :43:26.Hartley to throw. Hughes the number eight at scrum-half. Just have to

:43:27. > :43:31.see how he sets off after this line-out. Chris Robshaw sets off

:43:32. > :43:47.pretty fast up to the 22, gets back-up. Support from Mullan. It is

:43:48. > :43:57.Lavanini again who made the tackle. But mature -- not sure how much arms

:43:58. > :44:05.was used. Knock-on by England. Relief for Argentina. Nathan Hughes

:44:06. > :44:17.is seriously moving very slowly towards this. Just coming into shot.

:44:18. > :44:20.What do you think? It is a big 12 minutes for him. He has worked

:44:21. > :44:24.really hard. Just starting to get himself into the game, carrying

:44:25. > :44:30.well. It is important that he stays on. Nick Isiekwe on the bench could

:44:31. > :45:07.bring some real energy. Slow scrum. Argentina go for the

:45:08. > :45:19.second drive. Told to use it. Long towards Mike Brown. Demi Solomona --

:45:20. > :45:26.Denny Solomona sets off in pursuit. The winner -- the winger who scored

:45:27. > :45:31.the winning try last week is on. Hernandez not entirely pleased with

:45:32. > :45:35.his kick. England forwards working really hard with the scrum. You can

:45:36. > :45:40.hear them: keep your feet, keep your feet, not to move an inch, and they

:45:41. > :45:45.haven't which means Argentina have to move the ball away and England

:45:46. > :45:54.get possession. A smart bit of play in the last line-out. Chris Robshaw

:45:55. > :45:59.and Dawn Hartley, the old heads working together. Ten and a little

:46:00. > :46:16.bit minutes left. England have lost the line-out. Great surge there.

:46:17. > :46:22.Beautiful catch by Bertranou. It is one of the frustrations of playing

:46:23. > :46:27.against, a technical penalty, Argentina on the front foot. Support

:46:28. > :46:32.player comes into the side, picked up by John Lacey. And the crowd gets

:46:33. > :46:34.frustrated. All coaches get frustrated in the type of moment,

:46:35. > :46:45.but well picked up. Great handling skills. Quick ball moved away. We

:46:46. > :46:55.are not going to see that side entry coming in. Tomas Lezana the player

:46:56. > :47:01.going down on the ball. He is about half a metre taller. George Ford

:47:02. > :47:09.just coming everything down, ten minutes to manage, less than ten

:47:10. > :47:15.minutes. Unbeaten on this tour. Bound to be some fireworks. From

:47:16. > :47:26.start to finish there has been something special about this little

:47:27. > :47:41.miniseries. Counter drive by Argentina. Danny Care house to go

:47:42. > :47:58.looking for it. Care again checks, Ford. Boffelli in the end gets it.

:47:59. > :48:03.Orlando couldn't take advantage. Just for a moment Argentina had

:48:04. > :48:12.numbers. Smart kick from George Ford. Great chase from Slade as

:48:13. > :48:16.well. England working really hard off the ball to get the defence

:48:17. > :48:26.setup. But allowing Argentina any room up to short side. Orlando makes

:48:27. > :48:45.the knock-on. Nick Isiekwe warms up on the sideline.

:48:46. > :49:07.Care feeds. Good secondary drive by England. Comes clear. Lozowski makes

:49:08. > :49:17.a yard or two. Robshaw drives it up. Again Lavanini flies in without much

:49:18. > :49:23.use of the arms. Care checks where four days, forward for the drop

:49:24. > :49:31.goal. Beautifully struck. George Ford. The management of the last few

:49:32. > :49:37.minutes. England stretched their lead and the crowd is silent. On

:49:38. > :49:43.this tour George Ford has been world-class. Showing us here a

:49:44. > :49:50.fantastic drop goal, well executed play from the scrum. Lozowski did

:49:51. > :49:54.well to get the go forward. Ford has kicked exemplary and he has been the

:49:55. > :49:59.difference in both Test matches. He has really come of age with his

:50:00. > :50:02.leadership, technical ability and his goal-kicking out of the hands

:50:03. > :50:19.has been exemplary. Argentina restart having made two changes.

:50:20. > :50:32.Six and a half minutes to go. England ten minutes and -- ten

:50:33. > :50:36.points in front. Tuculet the outside-half. Dumped by Nathan

:50:37. > :50:49.Hughes but the full-back gets up and carries on. And away come the Pumas.

:50:50. > :51:09.What is left in this game? Massive strength. Lezana involved. Herrera

:51:10. > :51:12.is up. A metre to go. The crowd Manus Island now. Hernandez. Matias

:51:13. > :51:29.Moroni. Bertranou the new scrum-half. John

:51:30. > :51:39.Lacey goes in to have a look. Held up. It is all about inches. And

:51:40. > :51:47.England defending heroically. Great work by Lozowski to get across. To

:51:48. > :51:54.help may in the tackle. Desperate work from Mullan to get underneath

:51:55. > :51:58.the ball. Backed up by Wilson. Bertranou the new scrum-half has had

:51:59. > :52:04.a haircut since last week. Held up over the line. By all rights

:52:05. > :52:09.Argentina should have scored them. They had numbers on the outside,

:52:10. > :52:12.they had to go forward, but great work from England. That scrambled

:52:13. > :52:17.defence from them, putting their bodies on the line. It is the end of

:52:18. > :52:25.the really long season and this England team has really fought hard

:52:26. > :52:30.together. Mark Wilson part of the operation, assisted by Matt Mullan,

:52:31. > :52:36.he has had an impact since he came on. He has performed very well,

:52:37. > :52:41.technically outstanding in the scrum but also his body had there to keep

:52:42. > :52:48.the player up and hold the ball up. England very smart. They have been

:52:49. > :52:52.doing work with Paul Gustard to improve their technical work in the

:52:53. > :52:56.contact area and you can see it coming through. Less than five

:52:57. > :53:04.minutes to go. Argentina Trail by ten points but they are within five

:53:05. > :53:06.metres from the England line. Chris Robshaw wills his team to do more.

:53:07. > :53:29.Make Hughes still on the field. Bertranou feeds the scrum. Takes a

:53:30. > :53:40.step back. It is going straight, nothing moving so far. Order comes.

:53:41. > :53:54.Leguizamon. Taken well by Care. Use comes away with that. Heresies who

:53:55. > :53:59.is available. Will Collier on the try scorer, Matt Mullan was also

:54:00. > :54:05.there. Care completes the defensive operation. That is what wins Test

:54:06. > :54:12.matches. Fantastic scrummaging from England. Really working hard

:54:13. > :54:18.together not to go back. Danny Care putting pressure on Leguizamon as he

:54:19. > :54:22.picked the ball out of the scrum, great timing can knock him

:54:23. > :54:28.backwards. The sharpness of Wilson again, over the ball to win the

:54:29. > :54:34.turnover. Watch Care come in really fast and Wilson shop into Leguizamon

:54:35. > :54:39.to pick the ball up. It has gone loose. England skipper top through

:54:40. > :54:55.their captain. Way back in his own 22, Joaquin

:54:56. > :55:04.Tuculet. He thinks there is time to go to the set piece. Two and a half

:55:05. > :55:10.minutes. And England have withstood the Argentine last five minutes of

:55:11. > :55:22.their attacks. Just losing a bit of discipline in their set piece play.

:55:23. > :55:31.England taking the sting out of the game, can control it. Hartley,

:55:32. > :55:50.stolen by the Pumas. Bertranou. Socks up them all. Lavanini.

:55:51. > :56:03.Bertranou, back up to Herrera. Play on. This is Moroni. Hernandez.

:56:04. > :56:13.Chance now, Lozowski watches it. Argentina retake possession. Penalty

:56:14. > :56:25.to Argentina. Lozowski showing his football skills. I'm lucky not to

:56:26. > :56:28.get the ball back. Juan Martin Hernandez into the England 22.

:56:29. > :56:47.Argentina's last chance because we are into the last minute.

:56:48. > :57:04.Lavanini with the catch. Turnover by England. Jonny May has a little

:57:05. > :57:12.luck. We will have to take the scrummage. More great work in the

:57:13. > :57:21.line-out stopping the maul. Fantastic work from the England

:57:22. > :57:28.forwards. Argentina's coach knows it is all over. His team are going to

:57:29. > :57:39.lose the two match series 2-0. The hooter goes. We will have the scrum.

:57:40. > :57:44.Eddie Jones, job done. It hasn't had the tingling excitement, the

:57:45. > :57:57.last-minute action of last week, it has been another good game. John

:57:58. > :58:04.Lacey resets the scrummage. Everybody has the energy to have a

:58:05. > :58:09.say step one of the areas Eddie Jones will be delighted as the

:58:10. > :58:13.leadership. The development of his leaders. Seeing Danny Care, George

:58:14. > :58:24.Ford, the way they have managed the game has been exceptional.

:58:25. > :58:36.Nathan Hughes the big number eight has the last action of the game. He

:58:37. > :58:43.bends over exhausted. His right knee. No reason to feel dejected

:58:44. > :58:48.because England have won the second test, having won the first, 2-0 in

:58:49. > :58:53.their series in Argentina. It has been a tough test, a sparkling

:58:54. > :59:01.series and England come away with that victorious. Final score here

:59:02. > :59:06.Argentina 25-35 England. STUDIO: Thank you. England have lost

:59:07. > :59:11.just one of their last 20 games. The 30-9 defeat to Ireland in the Six

:59:12. > :59:15.Nations. The Eddie Jones era, that is their only defeat in ten away

:59:16. > :59:17.Test matches and they have scored 20 tries in their last five Test

:59:18. > :59:25.matches. Have you enjoyed this series, Jeremy? Brilliant from an

:59:26. > :59:29.England perspective with all the players and experience missing, only

:59:30. > :59:34.five experienced guys playing these two tests and they come up with

:59:35. > :59:39.Eddie and his coaching staff, but these inexperienced youngsters in

:59:40. > :59:45.and they have got deserved results. It is not luck or chance of poor

:59:46. > :59:50.Argentina play, they have gone out and won the game will stop in terms

:59:51. > :59:57.of strength in depth, England or in a great place. And these young

:59:58. > :00:01.players have forged a real bond. Yes and they have had to do it really

:00:02. > :00:05.quick. It doesn't get much harder than going out to Argentina in that

:00:06. > :00:08.atmosphere but to deliver the style of rugby, at times a bit sloppy, a

:00:09. > :00:20.little bit underwhelming today I must be honest, ... 130 two across

:00:21. > :00:24.the two tests. For all those guys getting their first caps on tour in

:00:25. > :00:27.Argentina, I hope they go out and have a drink tonight. The desert.

:00:28. > :00:34.Brian, are you happy or frustrated? But ever the criticisms, given the

:00:35. > :00:39.graphic of the squad, to go and win away in Argentina 2-0 is tremendous.

:00:40. > :00:43.Now, we want them to get everything right and it is right to do that

:00:44. > :00:46.because we want to be the best in the world but that's not forget what

:00:47. > :00:54.they have done with the squad they have had. When Pablo Matera scores

:00:55. > :00:59.that try you think here we go again. We didn't know what to expect. It

:01:00. > :01:05.was you have a go, we have a go. Here you expect a bit more from a

:01:06. > :01:11.playmaker of Francis's ability. His execution is normally good. He is

:01:12. > :01:15.getting used to the side and the execution here was poor. A simple

:01:16. > :01:20.nudge through the gap or you take the ball into contact and go through

:01:21. > :01:26.another phase and that the exit strategy in. But they didn't.

:01:27. > :01:38.You were saying at the time, keep it simple, Ugo. Yes, get rid of the

:01:39. > :01:42.ball, a speculative kick on the 50 metre line brought the pressure back

:01:43. > :01:46.on to England and fair play to Matera, a good finish. The

:01:47. > :01:51.experienced players like Danny Care really stepped up. They did, and

:01:52. > :01:55.time and again you see what they achieved, Brown taking the ball in

:01:56. > :01:59.the first half. In the second half the drop goal from Ford was

:02:00. > :02:03.symptomatic of the way he has played under control he has exercised

:02:04. > :02:08.throughout two tests. Do you think is well one the regions Argentina

:02:09. > :02:15.play this fast loose games is they are together for the Jaguares. In

:02:16. > :02:20.Super Rugby there are no consequences because you do not get

:02:21. > :02:23.relegated. On the one hand you are encouraged to play this way and you

:02:24. > :02:28.can expand the way you play, which they have done, but they are prone

:02:29. > :02:32.to do this in areas where it costs them in Test matches, because in

:02:33. > :02:39.Super Rugby nothing happens. You don't go down. Everyone says we will

:02:40. > :02:43.move on to next week. With Test match rugby you can't board that.

:02:44. > :02:49.Which is what we saw with the Danny Care try. We saw a spell of play

:02:50. > :02:53.which was neither here, there, nor anywhere. Lou mac a big frustration

:02:54. > :02:59.was Argentina got the ball back, could they do something with it? No,

:03:00. > :03:05.just give it right back to England. Fair play, for Dan Brown, then to

:03:06. > :03:10.Care, three leaders in that backline that come alive. This England team

:03:11. > :03:14.thrive on the attacking ball and their ability to transition from

:03:15. > :03:18.defence into attack so swiftly and well. We speak a lot about how

:03:19. > :03:21.dangerous New Zealand are on the counterattack. They have gone from

:03:22. > :03:28.defending their try line into scoring a try within about 15

:03:29. > :03:34.seconds. Really smart. Beautiful almost sensory play by Ford here.

:03:35. > :03:39.His peripheral vision and body sends him coming from depth, slipped the

:03:40. > :03:43.ball out, then Care is there, nice to see Quins combination working,

:03:44. > :03:47.where Brown and he had struggled in the first half getting the

:03:48. > :03:54.combinations right, this one worked well, and a well worked try to let's

:03:55. > :03:58.for examples say whether Lions have been struggling and players haven't

:03:59. > :04:03.been there. Instinctively knowing where your mate is? Yes. They are

:04:04. > :04:08.playing for a trophy as well, and we saw Dylan Hartley lift the trophy

:04:09. > :04:11.last week. I am informed it is called the icy BC cup, so there we

:04:12. > :04:24.are, and that is what England have been playing for and they are about

:04:25. > :04:30.to get the trophy. -- ICBC cup. One moment in the second half where he

:04:31. > :04:35.helped on a turnover but apart from that game, Underhill was

:04:36. > :04:41.underwhelming. He was only 20 so he has a lot to learn. For these young

:04:42. > :04:45.lads as well, Ugo, a lot of them are embarking on England test careers

:04:46. > :04:50.and you can see the smiles on their faces, this is silverware for them,

:04:51. > :04:55.a huge moment. For me is the next player who wasn't very good anyway

:04:56. > :05:09.let's face it! Come on, you can't go for the sympathy vote that early!

:05:10. > :05:13.LAUGHTER. You popped my tyres! These young guys who have been watching

:05:14. > :05:16.England the last 20 games, for the last couple of weeks they have the

:05:17. > :05:21.experience, they have been desperate to get involved and to embed

:05:22. > :05:25.themselves with Eddie Jones and come away and taste success is brilliant.

:05:26. > :05:31.They thoroughly deserved it. Some of these guys May not get another

:05:32. > :05:36.opportunity for a while. Playing Argentina is a hard task. Especially

:05:37. > :05:39.after a long season. Very physical, passionate crowds, can be quite

:05:40. > :05:53.intimidating, especially if you are young and inexperienced,

:05:54. > :05:56.and these players have gone in there and put the work in and got the

:05:57. > :05:59.reward, so credit to them. These two are just jealous because they don't

:06:00. > :06:02.look as impeccable and see you! Top button done up as well, very much on

:06:03. > :06:08.point! Let's get back to the rugby, is Yarde to blame for this try? We

:06:09. > :06:13.have 25 minutes so guess, in my book he is, he should have smother the

:06:14. > :06:17.ball in the tackle. He has partly inside him who is shattered. He will

:06:18. > :06:21.never get there and take a three quarters out. He does neither one

:06:22. > :06:25.thing nor the other. If he makes a decision he can blame someone or he

:06:26. > :06:28.could have smother the ball. He stays in no man's land. This is

:06:29. > :06:32.where we disagree because they are numbered up here, one of the biggest

:06:33. > :06:36.aspects of defence 's trust and the trust in the guy inside him to do

:06:37. > :06:42.his job which is to tackle, he steps in the ball goes across, you would

:06:43. > :06:48.be rinsing him. He smothers the ball! Hartley does what he can. You

:06:49. > :07:00.know he is not going to get there. You want your slowest offenders to

:07:01. > :07:03.the ruck. You want Ford to be the man... Ford has just made a tackle,

:07:04. > :07:06.you won't get across. They just got in the wrong way. You are right, but

:07:07. > :07:09.also when you have a game like this the ball is in play for a huge

:07:10. > :07:14.amount of time with many turnovers, there will be fatigue people's legs

:07:15. > :07:19.so mistakes happen. They have also created wonderful moments as well.

:07:20. > :07:23.Let's not forget England have won a Test match here! We will never get

:07:24. > :07:27.away from the fact that this is a wonderful result, 2-0, before they

:07:28. > :07:31.went I would thought if they win one that is a great achievement, to win

:07:32. > :07:35.two in the manner they have this right up there. Talking about young

:07:36. > :07:39.players who remember this tour, Will Collier stepped off the bench to

:07:40. > :07:41.score and has been earmarked by Eddie Jones for a long, glorious

:07:42. > :07:54.future. I have two backs here who will not

:07:55. > :07:57.appreciate what Collier can do first and. I was worried about your heart,

:07:58. > :08:02.you were getting very excited! The technical skill required to make

:08:03. > :08:06.this go forward properly against a big Argentinian pack is huge. It is

:08:07. > :08:10.tremendously energy draining but technically very proficient, then

:08:11. > :08:15.later on they had three four scrums where they were rock-solid against

:08:16. > :08:19.an Argentinian pack which is big and strong and used to scrummage and use

:08:20. > :08:23.it very well and didn't give an inch. Collier is responsible for

:08:24. > :08:27.that because as tight head you take most of the weight and play a third

:08:28. > :08:31.more than at loosehead, and that is where it is anchored. He gets his

:08:32. > :08:37.body height right and body angle right and for a young man I think

:08:38. > :08:42.that is tremendous progress. I have been part of Collier's development

:08:43. > :08:47.and he is one of the poshest players in world rugby, and that was

:08:48. > :08:55.spot-on, very well drilled. How will you part of his development? His

:08:56. > :09:00.binding?! His body angle? LAUGHTER. Compared to last week a quiet night

:09:01. > :09:04.for George Ford. He was quiet because he didn't score the try

:09:05. > :09:07.because he was integral in most of what England did an attack. His

:09:08. > :09:13.skill set allows him to do pretty much everything but what we see from

:09:14. > :09:18.him here is game management. He knows, this penalty goes over, takes

:09:19. > :09:22.them away from the try and conversion, puts massive pressure.

:09:23. > :09:29.Game management, as you say. Puts massive pressure on the Pumas to get

:09:30. > :09:33.back in this game. I was looking at the screen thinking Duda

:09:34. > :09:40.celebrating! Brilliant play by George, which has signed up what he

:09:41. > :09:45.has done in the Test matches. He has bossed for large portions of those

:09:46. > :09:50.two matches, completely, the game, wonderful to see. He was fantastic

:09:51. > :09:53.last week but that drop goal on 74 minutes, conversely, when Argentina

:09:54. > :09:58.probably shouldn't have taken it, many guys losing their heads,

:09:59. > :10:03.Lavanini, his assault on Nathan Hughes, I hope that is looked at

:10:04. > :10:08.because it is a disgrace. The game was a beautiful game but that was a

:10:09. > :10:10.horror moment for me. I don't know if it will be looked at because

:10:11. > :10:15.Hughes ended up playing the rest of the game but that is a planting leg

:10:16. > :10:19.and he attacked his right knee. That could have been brutal, not the way

:10:20. > :10:30.you want when the talk. That could end a career if you get it wrong.

:10:31. > :10:33.Not nice at all is quite how do we think the referee's decisions when

:10:34. > :10:35.this evening? A couple of high tackles. The officiating was fine.

:10:36. > :10:39.Rare is officiating responsible for the team's fortunes. Teams make

:10:40. > :10:44.mistakes more than referees. The refereeing, touch judging MTM was

:10:45. > :10:49.fine for me. Were you happy? I was but I didn't think Brian was because

:10:50. > :10:56.he mentioned the yellow. I thought that one was wrong. You've changed

:10:57. > :11:01.your mind? That was a definite yellow card but we all make

:11:02. > :11:05.mistakes, referees do. Which players... We were down 61 players

:11:06. > :11:09.now putting their hands up for selection so when Jones names his

:11:10. > :11:14.squad for the autumn internationals, 61 players, that is incredible

:11:15. > :11:18.strength in depth. A great bank of players to have. I thought Ewels in

:11:19. > :11:26.the second row did well, Wilson played well last week. Where there

:11:27. > :11:30.is advantages for players is an inside centre and six and seven.

:11:31. > :11:35.Those other positions England don't have massive strength. Neither

:11:36. > :11:39.position has been... No one has put their hand up and said we can take

:11:40. > :11:46.the place of Robshaw and Haskel and Farrell. Taiyo is playing so well he

:11:47. > :11:50.is probably locked into a couple of seasons but remember these kids are

:11:51. > :11:55.young and inexperienced. Which players will put their hands up to

:11:56. > :11:59.challenge the old guard? You mention Collier, it is funny for me to be

:12:00. > :12:02.talking about a tight head but he was outstanding. Look throughout the

:12:03. > :12:08.squad and they will all be happy. Let's hear from the England coach

:12:09. > :12:15.with the host broadcasters. O young squad but serious and you win it.

:12:16. > :12:21.Why? I think in each game we found a way to score points. Today wasn't a

:12:22. > :12:27.great performance for us but we were able to maximise any areas Argentina

:12:28. > :12:32.Meydan turn them into points. To day, you feel the team is more

:12:33. > :12:38.comfortable than last week? Again a couple of new guys this week making

:12:39. > :12:41.their test debut and they will be better for that, playing against

:12:42. > :12:50.experienced players. Some players struggled but they would be OK in

:12:51. > :12:54.future. Two great matches. Yes, George played very well. You are

:12:55. > :12:59.happy and still having more victories. Yes, it is always good to

:13:00. > :13:04.win against a tough opponent like Argentina. It has been a great Test

:13:05. > :13:08.series, some really good rugby, and I think Argentina should be

:13:09. > :13:12.congratulated on the sort of rugby they play. Thanks, Eddie. We

:13:13. > :13:16.thoroughly enjoyed it. Let's turn our attention to the British and

:13:17. > :13:26.Irish Lions who played the All Blacks earlier this morning. It was

:13:27. > :13:29.at risk when, a powerful when we should say, in wet conditions, Leigh

:13:30. > :13:33.Halfpenny landing 20 points in all, 15-10 lead at half-time. There was a

:13:34. > :13:36.mix-up between Halfpenny and George North but the Lions dominated

:13:37. > :13:43.second-half earning a penalty try when they took the Maoris apart.

:13:44. > :13:46.Itoje was outstanding once again, crossed four minutes later. Katie

:13:47. > :13:51.Gornall was there. It had been a mixed tour for the

:13:52. > :13:55.Lions. Before they arrived here. So to beat a side with the reputation

:13:56. > :14:00.and attacking quality of the Maoris all backs sends a huge statement.

:14:01. > :14:05.Not a perfect game, the first half in particular peppered with errors,

:14:06. > :14:09.but they're forward pack was excellent and the driving force

:14:10. > :14:14.behind dominating and defeating the Maoris All Blacks. Peter O'Mahony

:14:15. > :14:19.stood out alongside Sean O'Brien which means Captain Sam Warburton is

:14:20. > :14:26.not guaranteed a starting place in the first test. There was also

:14:27. > :14:28.flawless kicking performance from Leigh Halfpenny here, meaning he

:14:29. > :14:31.looks almost certainly to take the number 15 jersey against the All

:14:32. > :14:36.Blacks. Before that Alliance travel to Hamilton where they take on the

:14:37. > :14:39.Chiefs. Gatland has faced criticism in the build-up to this match in

:14:40. > :14:45.terms of the players he has brought in to boost his squad in Hamilton.

:14:46. > :14:50.He has chosen to call in players from Wales and Scotland who have

:14:51. > :14:53.been touring in Australasia, and overlooked England players in

:14:54. > :14:57.Argentina. The England head coach Eddie Jones has criticised that

:14:58. > :15:03.decision saying Gatland has picked players not on merit but on

:15:04. > :15:10.geography. You are only a few of those players are probably unlucky

:15:11. > :15:14.-- you are only a Lion when you get on the field. A few players are

:15:15. > :15:19.probably unlucky. We have picked up a couple of injuries. In terms of

:15:20. > :15:24.developing the shirt I can see some people's point but we are here to

:15:25. > :15:29.win a Test series and it is about guys covering, not travelling

:15:30. > :15:35.halfway round the world. We found it difficult in the first ten days when

:15:36. > :15:40.we were here in terms of jet lag and time differences and stuff, and the

:15:41. > :15:44.players coming from Auckland last night and from Australia will be

:15:45. > :15:49.able to fit quickly into that time zone. So Gatland not overly worried

:15:50. > :15:53.about that criticism. He knows it is all about the Test series. The Lions

:15:54. > :15:58.have given themselves the perfect platform here. Whether that will be

:15:59. > :16:01.enough to overpower the All Blacks in a week's time is another question

:16:02. > :16:05.entirely. Katie Gornall. Stand-by because

:16:06. > :16:20.these three have been raring to go on Gatlin's call up so we will do

:16:21. > :16:24.that in a moment but first how impressed were you with the

:16:25. > :16:26.performance and the win? I was impressed with the result. They

:16:27. > :16:28.needed a massive rebound to keep momentum or regain it. That is so

:16:29. > :16:31.important. Had they lost confidence it would have been hard work for

:16:32. > :16:34.management to get the squad firing again. It was good on those points.

:16:35. > :16:36.Defence and set pieces great. They are making line breaks, just not

:16:37. > :16:39.showing composure when they make them so people have been moaning

:16:40. > :16:43.about the support not being there which is right but they are getting

:16:44. > :16:46.used to playing one another. What I am more worried about is once you

:16:47. > :16:50.get to the breakdown after the break, where is your shape and

:16:51. > :17:00.attack to walk the ball over the line and score? That's where I think

:17:01. > :17:02.they have to work most on this week. Big performances to today, though.

:17:03. > :17:08.Massive performances. Kate mention Peter O my honey, Sean O'Brien

:17:09. > :17:11.taking a step forward -- Peter O'Mahony. That puts the captain

:17:12. > :17:15.seated to debate because the balance in the back row was wonderful. A

:17:16. > :17:20.huge game for Sexton with Farrell picking up a knock, he had to step

:17:21. > :17:24.up but for me the 9-12 axis worked well, Conor Murray is world-class,

:17:25. > :17:31.Ben Te'o probably raised eyebrows coming onto the talk but he has been

:17:32. > :17:36.outstanding. A backline which at times has lack of that -- lacked

:17:37. > :17:42.some X factor, he has provided that in probably one of the most

:17:43. > :17:46.congested areas of the field. So very tidy, impressive performance.

:17:47. > :17:54.Going back to the pack, to Lupe Pala towel an excellent game, George

:17:55. > :17:59.Kruis and Maro Itoje. I firmly believe they can get a slight edge

:18:00. > :18:04.in the set piece against the All Blacks albeit but I don't think it

:18:05. > :18:07.will be one where they put away, but if they can get that amount of

:18:08. > :18:12.pressure and put them on the back foot, that has huge consequences for

:18:13. > :18:16.the wait any side plays. If they are not on the front foot it is harder

:18:17. > :18:20.to get a quick ball, and the game is more difficult and they have to make

:18:21. > :18:26.different decisions. They need to replicate that. They can do it. The

:18:27. > :18:30.which is most disappointing, which prior you didn't think would be a

:18:31. > :18:35.problem has been the back three where you are wondering who is in

:18:36. > :18:38.form and who isn't. This is my question, we have seen the blueprint

:18:39. > :18:42.as to how the Lions will go into the Test series, good kicking game in

:18:43. > :18:47.defence, massive pressure in terms of line speed and set piece. My only

:18:48. > :18:50.question is, if they are chasing the game, we haven't seen that Plan B,

:18:51. > :18:54.they haven't scored enough tries for New Zealand to be worried about

:18:55. > :19:05.their attack. We know they have it in the scrum, we saw evidence of

:19:06. > :19:07.that. The line-out maul has been brilliant, but can they create and

:19:08. > :19:09.finishing up to challenge New Zealand if they find themselves

:19:10. > :19:11.behind which lots of teams do. What they struggle with is the finish.

:19:12. > :19:16.There will four chances against Crusaders open, three today, maybe

:19:17. > :19:24.four. They are creating but not finishing. We cannot expect an all

:19:25. > :19:27.singing all dancing performance because the conditions have been

:19:28. > :19:36.slippery underfoot, the ball is greasy, the tactics so far have been

:19:37. > :19:42.good. The All Blacks love organised chaos, and if your defence is

:19:43. > :19:45.pushing and pressurising the All Blacks side will cut loose because

:19:46. > :19:50.their game will be two levels up from anything the Lions have faced

:19:51. > :19:54.so far. I feel the nation is waiting with baited breath to hear your view

:19:55. > :20:04.on Gatlin's call ups. Let's see who he has called up in the last 24

:20:05. > :20:10.hours or so. There they are. Confirmation that Ross Moriarty is

:20:11. > :20:15.out. Eddie Jones last night in that interview I referred to earlier said

:20:16. > :20:22.it should be there on merit and not geographical proximity. What do you

:20:23. > :20:27.say? In mine and Brian's day... He has devalued the jersey, no doubt.

:20:28. > :20:31.You want the sport and you are glad that they're out there but you have

:20:32. > :20:35.to be on merit otherwise you cannot look someone in the eye and say,

:20:36. > :20:40.well done. In the modern day, here and now, Gatland has made this

:20:41. > :20:43.choice. If you listen to all he has talked about, something they

:20:44. > :20:49.discussed before the tour, he is taking this risk. He is head coach

:20:50. > :20:53.and make those choices with some influence from his assistants, but

:20:54. > :21:01.ultimately this is what he is judged on. If they lose because the likes

:21:02. > :21:04.of Launchbury or Danny Care or George Ford are not there, Paddy

:21:05. > :21:09.Jackson, toner, Healy, we can argue about it and go to town on him. What

:21:10. > :21:14.he is saying is, he wants some fodder there, why should anyone on a

:21:15. > :21:20.Lions tour be fodder? He should be competing for a test spot. Yes, I'm

:21:21. > :21:27.disappointed, I really am. It should -- shouldn't be based on geography.

:21:28. > :21:30.At the nucleus of the Lions is the best of the best from four nations

:21:31. > :21:34.going against the best countries in the world, that is what it has

:21:35. > :21:39.always been about. I have really enjoyed this series so far and love

:21:40. > :21:43.that the guys are taking time out to understand the history and values of

:21:44. > :21:47.what it is to be a New Zealander and an All Black, but for me to be a

:21:48. > :21:51.Lion is about being the best of the best, and it is not just paying

:21:52. > :22:01.respect to everyone else but devaluing ourselves, forgetting what

:22:02. > :22:04.it is for us. That frustrates me. For the players that are selected,

:22:05. > :22:06.if there is anyone having a pop at them this is misguided. If anyone is

:22:07. > :22:13.called up they will be on the plane, so it is not them. I am just pretty

:22:14. > :22:16.frustrated. Get it in context, this is the highest accolade you can have

:22:17. > :22:20.as a British player. When that letter drops on your Mac and you

:22:21. > :22:24.open it with the embossed Lions thing, it is the proudest moment of

:22:25. > :22:29.your life and it means something to say you have been a Lion. Conversely

:22:30. > :22:34.if you cannot say that, and there are very good players who haven't

:22:35. > :22:39.been able to, and now like Launchbury. He is young enough but

:22:40. > :22:44.who knows where he would be in four years? When you see someone who you

:22:45. > :22:47.know is not as good as you, and arguably, you will be unhappy and

:22:48. > :22:51.other people will be unhappy. I don't blame the players but in terms

:22:52. > :22:55.of Gatlin, he knew this would happen earlier on, he would have been

:22:56. > :23:02.better taking them straightaway. With the England thing, it is an

:23:03. > :23:06.arguable that if you wanted Launchbury, Eddie Jones wouldn't

:23:07. > :23:10.have said with my blessing, go after the first test. He said last night

:23:11. > :23:14.he would have given his blessing. So I don't understand why this has been

:23:15. > :23:18.done because the players could have been released to get over jet lag

:23:19. > :23:23.and they are better players. This has been part of Gatlin's plan. They

:23:24. > :23:28.should have been more transparency about it to allow those guys to go

:23:29. > :23:33.from Argentina, whoever he might have selected last Sunday, they

:23:34. > :23:37.could have had a week in New Zealand. The Lions has never been

:23:38. > :23:40.about convenience and making things easy, it is about challenging

:23:41. > :23:44.yourself against the best, and this is part of the challenge, a

:23:45. > :23:48.challenge you should take, and some of the guys who know they are better

:23:49. > :23:54.than those called up, it is a bitter pill. Warren knows a lot about the

:23:55. > :23:58.Lions tradition and history. This is his third tour, I believe, so he

:23:59. > :24:03.understands that. It couldn't have been an easy decision to plan this

:24:04. > :24:07.knowing the flak he would receive. He made a tough decision with

:24:08. > :24:12.O'Driscoll, which some people at the time didn't agree with. He got it

:24:13. > :24:16.right. Right now, 99% of anybody involved with the Lions will say

:24:17. > :24:20.what he is doing right now is devaluing it, and players on the

:24:21. > :24:23.tour now we'll look at other players and think, you don't deserve to be

:24:24. > :24:29.here. There is a chance it could split the camp. I get the feeling

:24:30. > :24:33.there was political point scoring. Do you think it will cause a rift? I

:24:34. > :24:38.denting so. The bigger picture is you are there to win the series.

:24:39. > :24:43.That's what Gatland said but he said he wants to get his players in the

:24:44. > :24:47.best physical prowess to be able to deliver that. Absolutely. I think,

:24:48. > :24:51.for the Lions it has always been greater than just winning, it is

:24:52. > :24:58.about taking the Lions badge, honouring it, keeping the value of

:24:59. > :25:01.it high, passing the jersey to the next guy in a better position than

:25:02. > :25:05.where you left it. With some of the selections I don't think that has

:25:06. > :25:09.been upheld. He is entitled as head coach to do what he wants,

:25:10. > :25:14.absolutely, I have no problem with that. But it is illogical. There are

:25:15. > :25:19.ways he could have done this to get better players are under similar

:25:20. > :25:23.circumstances, so his squad would be enhanced. All the players could have

:25:24. > :25:28.been released earlier so they could get over the jet lag and this point

:25:29. > :25:32.wouldn't have been... We are here and could do -based that -- debate

:25:33. > :25:36.this forever but we have selected a team that might win the first test.

:25:37. > :25:41.Earlier today we got these three together and believe it or not they

:25:42. > :25:52.agreed, and it didn't take long, I was surprised, you agreed... I

:25:53. > :25:57.wasn't there! LAUGHTER Here is their Lions team. It was a combination of

:25:58. > :26:01.what we thought might be there. When a polar unarguable. Jamie George for

:26:02. > :26:05.me offers more technically and bearing in mind he has is there as

:26:06. > :26:21.well. -- he has Toni Kroos there as -- he has George Kruis there. I

:26:22. > :26:25.think George Kruis is the brains in there, completely. I think Alun Wyn

:26:26. > :26:30.Jones will be there because of his experience. Itoje on the bench, more

:26:31. > :26:33.of an impact player, but that is a front five will be competitive. That

:26:34. > :26:38.back row have played together a couple of times and it operated

:26:39. > :26:43.really well again today. Conor Murray in the back, we hope he is

:26:44. > :26:49.fitter than the centres. I think Te'o showed his form and Davies can

:26:50. > :26:55.make the breaks. We thought Williams will find his form, Halfpenny nailed

:26:56. > :26:59.it, not missing a kick. Watson probably the best of the winners so

:27:00. > :27:05.far. No one has shown a huge amount of form but we hope it comes well

:27:06. > :27:09.last week -- next week. We are all behind them despite the debate, the

:27:10. > :27:14.four nations hope they can do something serious come Saturday.

:27:15. > :27:17.Crucially, no Sam Warburton. I think he probably will get the squad.

:27:18. > :27:30.Thank you. Lots of sport over the next couple of days or so.

:27:31. > :27:40.Mark Chapman presenting the Rugby league. A huge game in the final of

:27:41. > :27:49.the ICC champions Trophy, Pakistan taking on India. Then Queens gets

:27:50. > :27:53.under way with Sue Barker. Thank you very much indeed for Jeremy Guscott,

:27:54. > :27:57.Ugo Monye and Brian Moore, great to see you back fighting fit. Good luck

:27:58. > :27:58.to the Lions, well done England. From all of us here, goodbye for

:27:59. > :28:46.now. to live and enjoy

:28:47. > :28:49.each day as it comes
