England and Argentina were playing yesterday, did anyone notice?
England lost 27-17 to Australia, monstrous set-piece grunt overwhelmed by mobility, imagination and, well, by rugby. You know, passing the ball, generally running about, that sort of thing.
Argentina beat Scotland by two tries to nil but lost the game 24 points to 16 as Dan Parks kicked 6 penalties out of 8 attempts and dropped 2 goals. Yes, yes, I know Parks was born in New Zealand but he is every bit as Scottish as Shontayne Hape is, er, English.
I wonder if James O'Connor has an English grandparent?
