0:00:00 > 0:00:00internationals, and of course in the summer England played Argentina and
0:00:00 > 0:00:01won the series in
0:00:01 > 0:00:03won the series in South America. What happened at Twickenham today?
0:00:03 > 0:00:07That is where we are going right now.
0:00:07 > 0:00:16You think England against the Pumas of Argentina.What a great piece of
0:00:16 > 0:00:23play.Argentina's lead grows. England strike back.This has been
0:00:23 > 0:00:28one of the games of season, one of the games of many a year.We're off
0:00:28 > 0:00:36the second Test. And it is a try. Brilliant by England. And they score
0:00:36 > 0:00:43straight back. It has been a tough test, it has been a sparkling series
0:00:43 > 0:00:48and England come away victorious. Hello and welcome to Twickenham,
0:00:48 > 0:00:54where England are about to kick off their 2017 autumn international
0:00:54 > 0:01:03campaign against Argentina. Six month ago, England went to Argentina
0:01:03 > 0:01:10and won the series 2-0. England are building nicely ahead of the 2018
0:01:10 > 0:01:19Six Nations. Eddie Jones says these games are the most important in the
0:01:19 > 0:01:24calendar, next week promises to be an exciting game with Australia.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31They come after being beaten in the series 3-0 and then is Samoans come
0:01:31 > 0:01:40to Twickenham. Eleven years s ago this weekend, England were booed off
0:01:40 > 0:01:46after being beaten by Argentina. Eddie Jones said he wants a fast
0:01:46 > 0:01:50start. Will he get it? Let's find out.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57start. Will he get it? Let's find out. COMMENTATOR: Argentina familiar
0:01:57 > 0:02:01opponents this year. A rather different setting on a chilly
0:02:01 > 0:02:08November afternoon. But many expecting a similar outcome -
0:02:08 > 0:02:13England victorious in the summer. This is how the home side lines up.
0:02:13 > 0:02:20Hartley continues at hooker and continues as captain. Sam Underhill
0:02:20 > 0:02:34starts at No 7 in only his second cap.
0:02:50 > 0:02:58The big decision by Dan bell Hourcade was to make a change.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Boffelli is an exciting prospect on the wing. And Creevy is captain. On
0:03:03 > 0:03:09the bench for England a powerful front row in waiting. Simmonds may
0:03:09 > 0:03:16get his first cap on the flank. Rokoduguni will feature at some
0:03:16 > 0:03:22point. Today is of course the 11th day of the 11th month, a weekend of
0:03:22 > 0:03:26remembrance and the country will remember here at Twickenham those
0:03:26 > 0:03:33who gave their lives in the Great War and all conflicts since and
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Twickenham will now take pause.
0:03:40 > 0:03:49THE LAST POST.
0:04:10 > 0:04:19Away we go and good conditions for this match. A bit of a roar from the
0:04:19 > 0:04:25Twickenham crowd as it is taken in safely by the Pumas in their
0:04:25 > 0:04:32familiar strip. England not so. The home side in the new change strip.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Chris Robshaw talked about the importance of England's defence, how
0:04:47 > 0:04:58it has to improve, and he leaves the defence there. Up from Landajo.
0:04:58 > 0:05:09Brown clears it well. There is Nathan Hughes. And penalty, first
0:05:09 > 0:05:18penalty of the match goes to Teng. To England. Brian Moore.It will be
0:05:18 > 0:05:22difficult enough for Argentina without giving away penalties when
0:05:22 > 0:05:28they don't have to. No real threat there. The ball was going to be slow
0:05:28 > 0:05:34any way. They had slowed Hughes down.Farrell just a water boy
0:05:34 > 0:05:42today. Wearing the H2O band proudly.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Didn't sound the liveliest strike, off the upright it goes and no early
0:05:50 > 0:05:57points for England. The clearing kick bounces to Watson.
0:06:12 > 0:06:21Argentina moving Vunipola to touch. Argentina still with just 14 men.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26Lavanini was injured. But he is back on his feet now.
0:06:34 > 0:06:43Youngs sends it down the line. It is taken by Hernandez again.
0:06:54 > 0:07:08REFEREE: Stay up, please, No 1. England's line speed here, Hughes...
0:07:08 > 0:07:15Up quickly. They have worked very hard and Underhill as well, they
0:07:15 > 0:07:21worked very hard on getting back to their feet once they have been into
0:07:21 > 0:07:25any contact situation. At the moment, England's defence on top.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34This one through the posts. A bit of a slappy sound, but England have
0:07:34 > 0:07:39their first three points and get something on the board within seven
0:07:39 > 0:07:43minutes and Farrell leads the cheers. The challenge from Robshaw,
0:07:43 > 0:07:50but Argentina get it back. Hitting the line at pace. But a fearful
0:07:50 > 0:07:54thump as the England defence stood firm.
0:08:00 > 0:08:06This time the penalty goes to the Pumas. Hartley infringing. A good
0:08:06 > 0:08:11hit by Underhill. He is a specialist openside flanker. So many of the
0:08:11 > 0:08:21great sides have an out and out 7, which Underhill is. A good strike
0:08:21 > 0:08:29from Boffelli ties things up at Twickenham.Be interesting in the
0:08:29 > 0:08:34first scrum, Argentina priding themselves traditionally on a strong
0:08:34 > 0:08:43scrum and about time England got their act together in this area.
0:08:43 > 0:08:54Pretty decent from England. A penalty goes to England, says the
0:08:54 > 0:09:00referee. Penalising Matera and it will be another shot at goal for
0:09:00 > 0:09:07Ford.Matera thinks he was contesting the ball on his feet.
0:09:15 > 0:09:28It is good from George Ford and England back in front. As Lavanini
0:09:28 > 0:09:34once again. Slows down for a moment. Landajo goes down that mind side
0:09:34 > 0:09:43again. Matera, the big ball-carrier.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53Brown leaps and took it well and a collision, a fair collision it
0:09:53 > 0:09:58seemed, watching it in real time. Brown is in a bit of trouble here.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04At first sight that looked like a fair competition for the ball. No,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07no foul play there. Just unfortunate. Brown landing
0:10:07 > 0:10:14awkwardly. If you're very committed, as he is, and you have got your eyes
0:10:14 > 0:10:21on the ball, that sometimes happens. REFEREE: Not in a realistic position
0:10:21 > 0:10:31to catch the ball.Wow.Nonsense. Absolute nonsense.REFEREE: No 15. I
0:10:31 > 0:10:40need No 15.Tuculet will get a yellow card for that.It is not a
0:10:40 > 0:10:43realistic contest for the ball. It is dangerous. The player lands on
0:10:43 > 0:10:49his shoulder. It is a yellow card.I think some of the boos from the
0:10:49 > 0:10:54crowd are for the decision. I'm astonished at that.If he is going
0:10:54 > 0:11:00to give, penalise and give a card, by the law would that not be a red
0:11:00 > 0:11:05card, if he is going do that, go by the letter of the law. I looked,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09everyone thought that was a fair challenge.He was in a realistic
0:11:09 > 0:11:15position to catch that ball.It is a big decision by the referee.
0:11:15 > 0:11:23Argentina down to 14 men. Tuculet off for ten minutes. Rokoduguni is
0:11:23 > 0:11:27on for Mike Brown. But certainly a talking point. And maybe something
0:11:27 > 0:11:30which affects the match.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41This might be the spark England needed. They have been quiet, but
0:11:41 > 0:11:45they're a man up now.And a full-back can be a dangerous man to
0:11:45 > 0:11:54lose. Lawes sensing, England picking up the pace, sensing that weakness.
0:11:57 > 0:12:11Daly tries. Rokoduguni is the bridge. England deeper into the 22.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20England threatening again.Vunipola lace it off. Beautiful long pass to
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Hughes and he skips it in and Hughes for the line. The try for England
0:12:24 > 0:12:31comes now. The giant man with soft hands and great skill on the wing,
0:12:31 > 0:12:38Nathan Hughes, over for the try.It didn't take long for England to
0:12:38 > 0:12:43exploit the man advantage. They kicked up a couple of gears. That
0:12:43 > 0:12:47will have pleased Eddie Jones.First try for Teng for Nathan Hughes and
0:12:47 > 0:12:52you can sense it coming after that decision. But he was the man in the
0:12:52 > 0:13:00position on the wing.This is what started it, Daly doing the work.A
0:13:00 > 0:13:06great bit of skill, but few are going to stop Hughes.The important
0:13:06 > 0:13:11bit of handling is from Vunipola. He committed the defenders and then the
0:13:11 > 0:13:15drag back.
0:13:21 > 0:13:27Just curling away at the end off that right foot. Tight angle. And a
0:13:27 > 0:13:31couple of kicks off the post. But another look at the try.Right on
0:13:31 > 0:13:35the edge, but he still does it. You're not going to stop the big man
0:13:35 > 0:13:37from there.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46A big six minutes coming up for both sides. England will again look to
0:13:46 > 0:13:52press home their advantage. The ball out to Vunipola. The referee said
0:13:52 > 0:13:58sit went side ways. This one benefits Argentina.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Argentina with a good squeeze on their penalty. Held at the back and
0:14:22 > 0:14:27they do get the penalty. It was Kremer. He wears No 7, but plays No
0:14:27 > 0:14:368. A good opportunity to sneak three points here.With a man down,
0:14:36 > 0:14:49they're not going to move the ball, taking the advantage and the
0:14:49 > 0:14:53opportunity. England are going backwards and they're always going
0:14:53 > 0:15:00to be under pressure. The referee's always going to look at that.
0:15:00 > 0:15:11Hernandez this time. Not his finest. That is a very poor effort. Took
0:15:11 > 0:15:14over the kicking duties from Boffelli and Boffelli might get them
0:15:14 > 0:15:23back. A waste for Argentina.It has been a largely uneventful first 30
0:15:23 > 0:15:28minutes. Let's see England pick the pace up here.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Through Alemanno it goes.
0:15:55 > 0:16:05Instructions from Landajo. Creevy and company again... Just got that
0:16:05 > 0:16:09kick away, but it is touched by England hands and it is taken in by
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Argentina.
0:16:22 > 0:16:29England not rolling away. Penalty to Argentina.Yet another
0:16:29 > 0:16:37self-inflicted penalty. England doing some things well. And others
0:16:37 > 0:16:40things inaccurate and indisciplined. They are not been able to get much
0:16:40 > 0:16:49of a flow. When they they have, they have created ground. But too few
0:16:49 > 0:16:53moments of it.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Sam Underhill penalised for not using his arms in the tackle well
0:17:02 > 0:17:10enough. Argentina from the penalty have a decent kick to touch and
0:17:10 > 0:17:20taken down by Alemanno. Creevy steering things on. Landajo looks to
0:17:20 > 0:17:27the referee and a penalty comes.You have to say that Argentina have
0:17:27 > 0:17:33played very intelligently when they have been a man down. Kept the ball,
0:17:33 > 0:17:38driven it tight, no point in moving the ball particularly wide. They're
0:17:38 > 0:17:45counting down the clock. And due to England's being forced to be
0:17:45 > 0:17:49ill-disciplined through drives like this. Let's see what takes it down.
0:17:49 > 0:17:59There you are at the back.I think it is Dan Cole.Again England have
0:17:59 > 0:18:10defended well. No need to give, as the old adage, can't defend, kicks
0:18:10 > 0:18:11at goal.
0:18:13 > 0:18:20And he has made a right Horlicks of that one again. So one of the great
0:18:20 > 0:18:24kickers in the game, certainly from hand, from the tee today he has had
0:18:24 > 0:18:28two chances and missed them both and Argentina might not be able to
0:18:28 > 0:18:33afford that. Still down to 14 men, but not for much longer.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Watson coming forward well.
0:18:49 > 0:18:56Lawes juggling, but just in touch. And Argentina will probably get back
0:18:56 > 0:19:00to full complement now. Tuculet looking to come on.I would like to
0:19:00 > 0:19:05see England pick the pace up and when ever makes a break, they show
0:19:05 > 0:19:11they can shift the gears. They need to be able to do that more often.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21Argentina back to 15. Tuculet back at full-back.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Argentina with two missed penalty fresh in the mind. Hernandez the
0:19:32 > 0:19:38guilty party with those kicks sends it high. And Watson just a step and
0:19:38 > 0:19:42into space. Again a buzz from the crowd.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Hartley chopped at the ankles.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Ford has support from Slade. Slade taken without the ball, the crowd
0:20:09 > 0:20:14feel. But they're coming back for the penalty.REFEREE: No arms
0:20:14 > 0:20:22tackle.Hartley said thank you to the referee. I think there is going
0:20:22 > 0:20:28to be a chat. To both captains. . I'm going to tell you what I'm
0:20:28 > 0:20:33seeing, you have to sort out the no arms tackles. We have had one from
0:20:33 > 0:20:39No 7.I didn't think, I don't think that is a no arms tackle. He has
0:20:39 > 0:20:47tried to wrap his legs round. Hartley's gone. It is a... He is
0:20:47 > 0:20:52seeing things the referee. He is seeing things. When you have got big
0:20:52 > 0:20:57players running at you and a significant impact, you're both
0:20:57 > 0:21:03going to rebound.You have two options. The first is a penalty or
0:21:03 > 0:21:09another penalty for an early tackle by No 12.Where else are you going
0:21:09 > 0:21:14to go. Of those two options, would you like a million pounds or ten
0:21:14 > 0:21:19pounds.Would you like to go an awful lot nearer the posts or would
0:21:19 > 0:21:23you like to go back to the halfway line? Funnily enough, I would go
0:21:23 > 0:21:32nearer the posts!A chip through and Ford gathered and Kremer took Slade
0:21:32 > 0:21:38before he took the ball.
0:21:49 > 0:21:55Hartley again getting in the ear of the referee as George Ford prepares
0:21:55 > 0:22:02for attempt No 5 at the posts. A 50% success rate so far.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Sneaks inside the right hand upright and England move further clear. Six
0:22:15 > 0:22:19minutes to go and 11 points the difference.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29England into the final two minutes of this first half, looking for one
0:22:29 > 0:22:39more score. Lawes has had a powerful first half. Landajo has strayed
0:22:39 > 0:22:44offside, so advantage to England. Hartley clattering into the
0:22:44 > 0:22:53challenge. He is giving it for the infringement there any way. Taken
0:22:53 > 0:22:55quickly by Youngs.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Argentina down a man, he is receiving treatment. So a big 90
0:23:04 > 0:23:06seconds four both sides.
0:23:10 > 0:23:20There will be pressure on the Argentinian line-out.Unless that
0:23:20 > 0:23:25was a kick for the man to score, probably better kept in hand. You
0:23:25 > 0:23:29can see other times in t season where it is not the first game that
0:23:29 > 0:23:33might go to hand and he is through the gap.Henry Slade getting
0:23:33 > 0:23:39involved in plenty of the England moves now. He is a great talent to
0:23:39 > 0:23:46have at inside centre. Botta is back with us and Argentina back to 15
0:23:46 > 0:23:54men. The pressure on Alemanno and illegally so.
0:24:05 > 0:24:12That is a very impressive tough finder from the penalty from
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Hernandez.I don't think he will be happy with what he has seen. It has
0:24:17 > 0:24:21been uneven. A couple of times England breaking into life, changing
0:24:21 > 0:24:30gear and going forward quickly. But by and large unable to unlock the
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Argentinian defence and not enough ball.Might Argentina have something
0:24:34 > 0:24:37left in is in first half?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43The clock goes red and a fumble will be enough and an end to the first
0:24:43 > 0:24:48half and England lead by a decent margin, but it has not been a
0:24:48 > 0:24:53vintage performance.No, a lot of work to do. A lot of unevenness in
0:24:53 > 0:24:59the performance. At the moment, not able to make ground after the
0:24:59 > 0:25:04initial contact, that is stymieing them. Hopefully more in the second
0:25:04 > 0:25:09half.One try from Hughes. 14-3 the difference. England lead Argentina
0:25:09 > 0:25:12at half time.
0:25:15 > 0:25:23Away we go in the second half. 11 points the difference as Hernandez
0:25:23 > 0:25:26sends it long.
0:25:32 > 0:25:41Youngs chip s it over the top.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53Argentina with the first real attack.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16England's defence being tested. Again it is Matera. Kremer gives it
0:26:16 > 0:26:23on. Argentina still with ball. Still going through the phases. Not making
0:26:23 > 0:26:32too much ground. Hernandez slipping it on to Boffelli.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47Good continuity from Argentina. Just looking for the final piece. Closer
0:26:47 > 0:27:00to the 22. A loose pass after a dozen faces if. Picked up by Moroni.
0:27:12 > 0:27:23Creevy labours to an ugly ball. A good pick up by her Nan Des. Watson
0:27:23 > 0:27:27comes forward, takes the challenge. That was a good contest, says the
0:27:27 > 0:27:31referee. Boffelli was in there.
0:27:40 > 0:27:53Now the carry by Moyano. Underhill trying to turn it over. And Creevy
0:27:53 > 0:27:59the captain. So low to the ground.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Landajo asking for advantage, but the referee says it fine and the
0:28:10 > 0:28:17spill and England can counter. Daly with a forward pass there. But the
0:28:17 > 0:28:25advantage was over just before he gave that pass. So back we will come
0:28:25 > 0:28:31for the Argentinian scrum.A bit of a mirror of the first half.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Argentina diligent and going through the phases, but not being able to
0:28:34 > 0:28:41unlock the England defence. Eventually, making an error.
0:28:50 > 0:28:56Slade with the kick and well taken by Tuculet, the full-back.
0:29:03 > 0:29:10Hernandez wheels and sends it low. But running on to it well is Ford.
0:29:10 > 0:29:16Ford's kick... Is taken by Rokoduguni over the top of Tuculet
0:29:16 > 0:29:22he went. What is the decision on that one?I'm sure Rokoduguni
0:29:22 > 0:29:25doesn't mind challenging and chasing ball in the air, but when you have a
0:29:25 > 0:29:30run up like that and you have his destructive power, it was preferable
0:29:30 > 0:29:36for him to be given the ball.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00No scoring in the first ten minutes of the second half but plenty of
0:30:00 > 0:30:09decent rugby. Just slowing down a bit. And Martin Landajo sends it
0:30:09 > 0:30:15high. Bouncing nicely for Anthony Watson and that is just one of his
0:30:15 > 0:30:31legs. Hartley slips back to Kruis. And deep to Slade. Did not quite
0:30:31 > 0:30:43warrants off the challenge. Of Gonzales Iglesias. Courtney Lawes...
0:30:43 > 0:30:47England looking to build some fluidity, some muscle from Nathan
0:30:47 > 0:30:59Hughes, as ever, and Slade to Watson and Elliot Daly trying to gallop on
0:30:59 > 0:31:02to that but into touch.
0:31:07 > 0:31:13England denied the opportunity for a quick line-out because the ball had
0:31:13 > 0:31:20hit somebody else.He has beaten his man. Good ball off the line-out and
0:31:20 > 0:31:25through midfield they come and Slade, once again, rolling further.
0:31:25 > 0:31:33Anthony Watson tries to skip inside his man. Robshaw taking the hit but
0:31:33 > 0:31:41he slips that away to Rokoduguni. Lawes. England start to make a bit
0:31:41 > 0:31:47of ground, building momentum. Ford onto Vunipola. And then the loose
0:31:47 > 0:31:59pass. Once more, Nathan Hughes waiting in the wings.Yet again,
0:31:59 > 0:32:04pivoting to drag the ball out and it worked again Mike Ford in the first
0:32:04 > 0:32:10half with his left hand, Slade was off his right hand and he could not
0:32:10 > 0:32:16replicate that pass. The frustrating thing is you have seen Slade to that
0:32:16 > 0:32:20time after time for Exeter without a problem, you know he can do it but
0:32:20 > 0:32:27when there is greater pressure on the internationals... 52 minutes
0:32:27 > 0:32:36into this game and you have called the name of Rokoduguni once. It came
0:32:36 > 0:32:42off his wing and went a couple of yards.Penalty to England. Argentina
0:32:42 > 0:32:50in at an angle.Give a penalty, then. Stop talking to people and do
0:32:50 > 0:32:57something.Into the corner, George Ford does that and the Twickenham
0:32:57 > 0:33:00crowd applauding because they want to see some entertainment and
0:33:00 > 0:33:06England will have a five metre line-out.That was a good kick from
0:33:06 > 0:33:11Ford, decent start.Kruis takes it down, England tried to maul their
0:33:11 > 0:33:18way towards that humour line. Hartley, just a little bit of a
0:33:18 > 0:33:26spill as he went to ground, still charging down that line and the
0:33:26 > 0:33:30heavy men come in behind.Rokoduguni is all on his own on the right wing
0:33:30 > 0:33:36with his arms in the air.Penalty to England. Well... The penalty is
0:33:36 > 0:33:51against Argentina just now. Argentina not rolling away. Off the
0:33:51 > 0:34:07maul. So, Argentina make a change. Mcoming on for Moyano on the wing.
0:34:07 > 0:34:14England on the line-out, once more Hartley looks to have it at the back
0:34:14 > 0:34:19of the ball was spilled and hacked away and it is carried, eventually.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23There was this spill before that. Poor discipline, the contact point
0:34:23 > 0:34:29had to be moved because the jumper came down in the wrong position and
0:34:29 > 0:34:34then the ball gets to the back and there is confusion between who is
0:34:34 > 0:34:39carrying and blocking and England spilled the ball under pressure.
0:34:39 > 0:34:50That says it all, not good enough.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07Penalty to Argentina is the end result from that scrum. So, Dan Cole
0:35:07 > 0:35:18on his knees. Improper binding.You can see from this side... Cole
0:35:18 > 0:35:29losing his binding first. That was seen by the assistant referee.Back
0:35:29 > 0:35:33to Boffelli kicking for Argentina.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42It has not been the finest kicking display from either side. Argentina
0:35:42 > 0:35:53missing three chances. Taken by Lavanini for Argentina and they get
0:35:53 > 0:35:57a very good maul going, five, ten metres forward.
0:36:07 > 0:36:15The laid-back. Summoning his forwards and that is Kremer, the
0:36:15 > 0:36:21opening side, he took that in. Keeping it tight and close,
0:36:21 > 0:36:37Argentina. Nothing extravagant. Creevy again. Once more, Kremer.
0:36:37 > 0:36:48Lavanini. The little dummy, the lovely lay-up to Gonzales Iglesias,
0:36:48 > 0:36:57on his own, into the England 22. But that was nice play from the Pumas.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Advantage to Argentina. England coming in at the side, that was good
0:37:01 > 0:37:07skill from Hernandez. Matera, going nowhere. But coming back for that
0:37:07 > 0:37:16penalty.Well, the one piece of material skill goes unrewarded but
0:37:16 > 0:37:25that was a lovely breakdown. So the opportunity...Hernandez has had a
0:37:25 > 0:37:32messy game. Two rather botched place kicks but a good piece of skill
0:37:32 > 0:37:41there and he tucks it into the corner.Lovely flick on. It'll be
0:37:41 > 0:37:46hard to pick out the highlights from this one!The England scrum but so
0:37:46 > 0:37:49close to their online and Argentina ready to put the pressure on as
0:37:49 > 0:38:00Danny Care feeds and away comes Hughes in that Nathan Hughes style.
0:38:00 > 0:38:11Bouncing between Hernandez and Care. Into touch.Good work from Hughes.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16More importantly, I clean strike to allow him to get the ball out and
0:38:16 > 0:38:20make ground quickly. He was away before the flanker was anywhere near
0:38:20 > 0:38:23him, that makes it a straight contest between him and the
0:38:23 > 0:38:29fly-half. Really importantly, you get the strike, which is good, and
0:38:29 > 0:38:33he makes the ground. Having said that, England are still in their own
0:38:33 > 0:38:44territory.Just ahead of Pablo Matera. Sanchez is on for Hernandez.
0:38:44 > 0:38:51Many thought he would start. He is now. Argentina a penalty. If they
0:38:51 > 0:38:57can take a couple of opportunities. England will be very nervous in the
0:38:57 > 0:39:01final 15 minutes. 11 points seems like a very big gap but it is
0:39:01 > 0:39:06looking fragile at the moment.It is 11 points but it could have been
0:39:06 > 0:39:13down to only two had they taken at least two very kickable penalties.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Underhill might initially have been on his feet but when he got
0:39:16 > 0:39:26extended...Sanchez, fresh on the field. Dear oh dear! Argentina in
0:39:26 > 0:39:32their own worst enemy today. With the failures from the team, they
0:39:32 > 0:39:39have cost themselves 12 points so far and Sanchez, after Juan Martin
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Hernandez, they have all failed at some point.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53Courtney Lawes, wonderful take from the 22. The restart. Danny Care,
0:39:53 > 0:40:02deep Turf Lodge. Looking for support, Lozowski! He has Anthony
0:40:02 > 0:40:08Watson.Charging deep into the 22. Wrong way! Ford takes that but the
0:40:08 > 0:40:16as well. The Twickenham crowd baying for something. Underhill digging his
0:40:16 > 0:40:21way forward, trying to get past Kremer. England again! Sprays out
0:40:21 > 0:40:26wide! Rolling forward on Daly. Border poll and onto Ford, deep once
0:40:26 > 0:40:35again. Rokoduguni for the try! And England have their second. And it is
0:40:35 > 0:40:42Semesa Rokoduguni...Argentina have complained that was forward. Nigel
0:40:42 > 0:40:48Owens is going to say it is worth having a cheque so it may well be
0:40:48 > 0:40:58ruled out. Dan Jones on the other touchline... The crowd is doing.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Definitely worth looking. If it is worth looking at in real-time...You
0:41:02 > 0:41:07cannot tell from that angle. If that is the only angle they have got, he
0:41:07 > 0:41:11will have to give it because there is no proof.He does take it four
0:41:11 > 0:41:18metres or so in front of Slade but that is not really the point when it
0:41:18 > 0:41:23comes to forward passes, where with the hands going?The best person to
0:41:23 > 0:41:30tell is the assistant referee. He is dead in line.Absolutely in-line.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Dan Jones was right on the spot. He is the man who can tell whether it
0:41:34 > 0:41:42was forward.The TMO is Lee Hodges. You cannot tell from there. The
0:41:42 > 0:41:53referee is looking at the TMO. REFEREE: It is not clearly forward.
0:41:53 > 0:41:59I am not confident that it was clearly an obviously forward.He is
0:41:59 > 0:42:05going to award the try so Rokoduguni can celebrate along with Nathan
0:42:05 > 0:42:12Hughes. Scored many tries. Some spectacular ones but he was
0:42:12 > 0:42:19finishing a very good team move, there.The initial break was by
0:42:19 > 0:42:25Lozowski, he made 40 metres. The simple outside line, that Miss
0:42:25 > 0:42:28match, against the forward and he has the gas to do that. And break
0:42:28 > 0:42:35the line. The ball initially goes the wrong way, actually.Back
0:42:35 > 0:42:40against Ford as he went across Alemanno, the second row. Ford has
0:42:40 > 0:42:46got this one right... Two more points to England, beyond 20 they
0:42:46 > 0:42:53go. England's test to come against Australia next week. But the most
0:42:53 > 0:43:01glamorous line-up for autumn with no All Blacks. That was a good
0:43:01 > 0:43:08scrummage from England. Lozowski has been lively since coming on. That
0:43:08 > 0:43:16searing break that brought the try for Rokoduguni. Back it comes to
0:43:16 > 0:43:27Ford, taken back into the 22. And Cancelliere gives it infield to
0:43:27 > 0:43:37Tuculet. Chasing it down himself. Gathered. That was a brilliant take.
0:43:37 > 0:43:44Bertranou gives up to the forwards. This time in the shape of Alemanno.
0:43:44 > 0:43:54Shrugging off back his man, Cancelliere. And Alemanno on the
0:43:54 > 0:44:00second row is still injured. He might have been knocked out. Says
0:44:00 > 0:44:05Nigel Owens... Argentina still attack. Tuculet infield to Gonzales
0:44:05 > 0:44:10Iglesias. The dangerous centre. Bertranou slipping away from his
0:44:10 > 0:44:17man. Argentina might get the advantage. But they are pouring
0:44:17 > 0:44:27forward into the England 22. England's defence being punctured
0:44:27 > 0:44:36just for a moment or two. Argentina taking the direct route, this time
0:44:36 > 0:44:41through the replacement number eight, Macome. Kremer, the ball is
0:44:41 > 0:44:51loose, still in Argentine hands. Argentina within four metres,
0:44:51 > 0:44:55hunting their first try. Five minutes remaining. Bertranou feeling
0:44:55 > 0:45:07that one. And it is Macome, he goes to ground and Kremer... A dozen
0:45:07 > 0:45:15phases, still battering away at the England line. Tuculet spins.
0:45:15 > 0:45:25England's defence standing firm at the moment. Macome feels the head.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30Kremer. It is all happening around about six metre line. Sanchez looks
0:45:30 > 0:45:38one way and passes the other. Matera carries. Still going. Looking for
0:45:38 > 0:45:42something from this game. And skipping infield, Sanchez. Still
0:45:42 > 0:45:52therefore Argentina. 17 phases. Is there anything at the end of it?
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Once more, Marcos Kremer. Right under the posts, Bertranou moving
0:45:55 > 0:46:04that wide. Carried in by Senatore. Heading 20 phases, Sanchez tries to
0:46:04 > 0:46:15ease his way past. Once again, Argentina star from Matt five, six
0:46:15 > 0:46:24metre position. Carried in by Noguera. Again they come but again,
0:46:24 > 0:46:29England are standing firm. And wide it goes again. Good strength again
0:46:29 > 0:46:37by Cancelliere. Taken down by Underhill. 24 phases. And making no
0:46:37 > 0:46:47further ground. Noguera. 3.5 minutes remaining. England heading for
0:46:47 > 0:46:50victory and Argentina still looking for something. Back in the game,
0:46:50 > 0:46:59Alemanno. Sanchez. Some confusion but that was a good pick-up by
0:46:59 > 0:47:06Senatore.It has been a monumental defensive set from England as well.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10They are being sorely tested, 28 phases but all of the tackle is
0:47:10 > 0:47:14being made, none of them have been missed. Once again, Argentina
0:47:14 > 0:47:19getting closer and Sanchez... Finally, the dam bursts and the
0:47:19 > 0:47:27English defence has two given second best.So tired after that effort. A
0:47:27 > 0:47:33warm round of applause from everyone around me, they richly deserve that.
0:47:33 > 0:47:42But that number of phases, not going with your feet, releasable on time,
0:47:42 > 0:47:46eventually getting their reward. And it is no more than they deserve,
0:47:46 > 0:47:51frankly.You can see how hard Sanchez was breathing when he got
0:47:51 > 0:47:54this ball and collapsed over the line. Still have to finish that
0:47:54 > 0:48:01well.If this goes over they are left with 12 points, definitely off
0:48:01 > 0:48:11the board.Agustin Creevy on the sidelines. Applauding Sanchez with
0:48:11 > 0:48:21the tried and Sanchez to try to convert. Another kick fails and
0:48:21 > 0:48:26another something for Argentina to work on.14 points, they have left
0:48:26 > 0:48:32off the board. Had they gone over, that was 22 points. The Argentina
0:48:32 > 0:48:47line-out has looked a little bit squint but the referee let that go.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51The short pass to Matera. Galloping into the England have. Cannot quite
0:48:51 > 0:49:05get to ground yet. But he eventually does. The knock-on from Argentina
0:49:05 > 0:49:10and then from England and that'll be an end to that. That is a victory to
0:49:10 > 0:49:15England here in the first of the Autumn Internationals at Twickenham,
0:49:15 > 0:49:19as mentioned, Australia and Samoa still to come. That win over
0:49:19 > 0:49:25Argentina not convincing but there was some good in there.It is a
0:49:25 > 0:49:28victory for England, they start off with a win but there is so much work
0:49:28 > 0:49:33to do, Eddie Jones will not be pleased by the dislocated nature of
0:49:33 > 0:49:39the performance and Argentina, unfortunately, they left so many
0:49:39 > 0:49:42points of the board but in the end they were never going to challenge
0:49:42 > 0:49:47England.England the winners of the first Autumn International over
0:49:47 > 0:49:52Argentina, 21-8.Did it take you by surprise given they have been on
0:49:52 > 0:49:59such a wretched run of form?You people talk about that. Anybody who
0:49:59 > 0:50:05sell them play against the All Blacks, at the 60 minute mark it was
0:50:05 > 0:50:0921-12 to Argentina so you are telling me they are not a good team?
0:50:09 > 0:50:13I said they were on a wretched run of form because this game is about
0:50:13 > 0:50:20winning and losing. Exactly but they have ability. They are a tough team.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23They picked a very experienced team today.That was a good result for
0:50:23 > 0:50:23us.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25That was a good result for us.
0:50:25 > 0:50:30He must be very proud of the boys today? Always part of the boys. I
0:50:30 > 0:50:34cannot fault their effort and commitment. There are things we need
0:50:34 > 0:50:37to be better at but we will take that result against a good physical
0:50:37 > 0:50:43side.What is the overriding emotion in the dressing room? Have you
0:50:43 > 0:50:50missed points out there, could have been much closer?We have to reach
0:50:50 > 0:50:58the end but we had a good game.What about some of the new boys? Some
0:50:58 > 0:51:02great youngsters in the team and it bodes well for the future, they will
0:51:02 > 0:51:08keep growing and hopefully also well the team.There was no stopping
0:51:08 > 0:51:15Nathan Hughes five metres out?He's on great form. It is good to see him
0:51:15 > 0:51:18getting that try. Great hands or a little bit of luck? A little bit of
0:51:18 > 0:51:25luck! Next to the blue on the hands! If I can get the ball in my hands
0:51:25 > 0:51:29early, I would've tried to get to the try line.Are you looking
0:51:29 > 0:51:33forward to the rivalry with Australia?Obviously, England and is
0:51:33 > 0:51:36trivia games are always special, whether it is cricket, tenpin
0:51:36 > 0:51:42bowling, darts, it doesn't matter and myself being Australian makes
0:51:42 > 0:51:46things more interesting but we want Australia to bring the best game to
0:51:46 > 0:51:51Twickenham and want to take them on to find out where we are at.After
0:51:51 > 0:51:57beating South Africa, you said seven out of ten.Today? It was a grinder,
0:51:57 > 0:52:03six out of ten for grinding.Eddie Jones, that was a grind, if we're
0:52:03 > 0:52:09honest, it tough to watch?It was frustrating watching that and it
0:52:09 > 0:52:13must have been more frustrating as the players on the field today.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17There are so much expectation that this England side because is so much
0:52:17 > 0:52:22strength in depth and that was a New Zealand side they would have won by
0:52:22 > 0:52:2615 points today against a poor Pumas team that once they went to the
0:52:26 > 0:52:29phases, there were no effective, clean breaks and support. England
0:52:29 > 0:52:33will be frustrated with the small errors, passes to nobody, into
0:52:33 > 0:52:39touch, losing the ball in contact, but would you from the second best
0:52:39 > 0:52:43team in the world.Ike Brown, the Argentina team were furious at that
0:52:43 > 0:52:48yellow card.They have a right to, for me, Tuculet competed for the
0:52:48 > 0:52:53ball, he should not have been yellow carded. There were a few strange
0:52:53 > 0:52:58decisions, the first game of the series, the referees are rusty but
0:52:58 > 0:53:02that is no excuse. That was a big moment in the game and they scored a
0:53:02 > 0:53:05try and did not get the conversion. If you think about that and the
0:53:05 > 0:53:09amount of kicks zone the Pumas nest, it would have been a closer game and
0:53:09 > 0:53:12would have pushed England more into a better performance.In the early
0:53:12 > 0:53:18stages in the dram good lines. Nathan Hughes got his try. That bit
0:53:18 > 0:53:23of luck?He said glue in his interview. He was not exporting the
0:53:23 > 0:53:28pass, the rocket from Ford, we know George can do that, it was a good
0:53:28 > 0:53:34change in direction, a good decision by George and we had no Farrell so
0:53:34 > 0:53:37we wondered how that would work without the Boss man. If you think
0:53:37 > 0:53:45of Rokoduguni's try, that was Ford and Slade working in tandem. You
0:53:45 > 0:53:48have another playmaker doing a similar thing but I would have liked
0:53:48 > 0:53:59to see Slade more in attack
0:54:00 > 0:54:05barely saw Argentina not happy with a try. Forward pass or not? It
0:54:05 > 0:54:10appeared to go backwards for me. That was a well worked try. Ford and
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Slade working together, putting Rokoduguni into space and an easy
0:54:13 > 0:54:18finish but we should have seen more of that, the number two team in the
0:54:18 > 0:54:20world, there should be more continuity and momentum, the defence
0:54:20 > 0:54:25was good and the attack was poor. Eddie says the attack needs work
0:54:25 > 0:54:28done so work on it because it will be tougher against Australia.
0:54:28 > 0:54:35Courtney Lawes has matured. Into a fine test player. British and Irish
0:54:35 > 0:54:40Lions.But Mako Vunipola was all over the place? Were used him
0:54:40 > 0:54:43smashing into players, looking for the gaps and sidestepping but today
0:54:43 > 0:54:48we saw that, not so much, but the passing was tremendous, is linking
0:54:48 > 0:54:53with George Ford and Ben Youngs. I would like to see somebody else
0:54:53 > 0:54:57coming into that position. Eddie has to have a contingency, if he goes
0:54:57 > 0:55:02off injured, who takes up role as the link forward?Something barely
0:55:02 > 0:55:07to think about. All very well having that nucleus of fantastic players
0:55:07 > 0:55:11but you have to play as a squad and the unit if you are going to the
0:55:11 > 0:55:18ultimate prize?Because Farrell and 38 Maggs Wright, those players have
0:55:18 > 0:55:21to play equally as well, otherwise those guys in the number one
0:55:21 > 0:55:27position will take it easy. Because that was a very poor Pumas side
0:55:27 > 0:55:31today they didn't raise their game but they should have done. The best
0:55:31 > 0:55:35sides too. I guess Australia, let's have a bigger performance and I
0:55:35 > 0:55:39think they will deliver because Australia will be much better.We
0:55:39 > 0:55:42will talk about Australia but a reminder of how we are lining up on
0:55:42 > 0:55:46the BBC. We are back here at Twickenham next Saturday for the
0:55:46 > 0:55:53visit of Australia, highlights at 7:30pm. Before that, Wales host
0:55:53 > 0:55:57Georgia at the Principality Stadium. That is live on BBC One. Followed by
0:55:57 > 0:56:03Scotland against New Zealand, catch that on BBC Two... And the Rugby
0:56:03 > 0:56:08Union weekly podcast on Five Live... Chris Jones and guests reflecting on
0:56:08 > 0:56:13all of the weekend action. You can listen on the BBC sport website or
0:56:13 > 0:56:17download that through your usual providers. We can guarantee it will
0:56:17 > 0:56:24be a much better Test Match next week against Australia?It will. The
0:56:24 > 0:56:30bench was crucial today, we talked about the finishers, they played
0:56:30 > 0:56:35well, George, Lozowski, they had the impact but they need to be bigger
0:56:35 > 0:56:39against Australia, the paste is to be hot, the ball needs to be fizzing
0:56:39 > 0:56:43down the line. Many times have we seen Rokoduguni, we did not see them
0:56:43 > 0:56:49in space, taking on defenders and that is what Eddie will have to work
0:56:49 > 0:56:53on this week. He has made an emphasis with players to make a
0:56:53 > 0:56:56contribution and you can make a contribution with and without the
0:56:56 > 0:57:00ball and I think today we did not see enough of individuals with the
0:57:00 > 0:57:04ball making that impact and making those breaks and going on support. A
0:57:04 > 0:57:10big work out this week.Ultimately, you put two Lions stars in that side
0:57:10 > 0:57:16with Owen Farrell and Itoje, who were disappointed at missing out,
0:57:16 > 0:57:21put them back in their side and suddenly it is a different England
0:57:21 > 0:57:24side?I do believe there is a lot of competition but you are talking
0:57:24 > 0:57:28about two of the best in the world so Owen Farrell is up there as one
0:57:28 > 0:57:33of the best, for me, but I does remember he will be playing inside
0:57:33 > 0:57:39centre but he is such an influential figure. The way he plays and what he
0:57:39 > 0:57:45says, he has a presence, and so does Itoje, he is so intuitive, he learns
0:57:45 > 0:57:49every game what to do and how to push the referee and what to do at
0:57:49 > 0:57:54the breakdown and he is a big impact player with and without the ball. I
0:57:54 > 0:57:57would expect the players replacing them to be as effective because
0:57:57 > 0:58:03wanted to go places I thought Lozowski played well in the centre,
0:58:03 > 0:58:07made the lovely break that led to that try from Rokoduguni. There is
0:58:07 > 0:58:11competition but if those players come in, it is stronger.Brian Moore
0:58:11 > 0:58:17said we would not get a highlights show out of this!It is worth
0:58:17 > 0:58:22watching for longer than the Rokoduguni try.Thank you very much.
0:58:22 > 0:58:26England get off to winning start but Australia to come next week, but
0:58:26 > 0:58:30should be epic. We will see you next week. From of us here, bye for
0:58:30 > 0:58:37now...That long pass, Hughes, skipping that in. Hughes with the
0:58:37 > 0:58:44try for England. Slade, Rokoduguni for the try. At England had their
0:58:44 > 0:58:51second. Argentina getting closer. Sanchez, finally the dam bursts.
0:58:51 > 0:58:55England winners in the first Autumn International over Argentina 21-8.
