Thing is, from what I've seen of the recent tests, England play better after a red card, so now they have 70 minutes of it.

3 reds in as many games isn't it? Other teams seem to cope with the rules rather better than our boys.

Is there are a marked difference in how the prem is officiating these things compared to other leagues?

What I don't really follow is how if Curry is a red, that the Argentinian and the AB ones from last night are only yellows? There was a much higher degree of recklesssness in both of those.

Direct contact with the head is the key bit in the framework - I think Curry has been stiffed here as there is definite mitigation with the Argentine player coming down into his head etc.

Will be interesting the last 15-20 mins as curry does lots of Englands dirty work.

Great 50-22 kick.

Yeah, but the only reason Curry hit head and the Argentinian didn't was just luck. Similarly last night, the French player fell onto his back but it could've been head/neck.

Have to agree with all the talk of cards here, the game has taken it way over the top in recent times. It's a contact sport ffs.
England going to need a lead at halftime because pretty sure the Argie Bargies are coming hard in the second half.
