They're a nice balance of fairly even contests too. England is 8.05am kick off, I'll record it and try not to find out the result whilst playing golf.

He started for the Reds this season, did ok in parts, but saw the season out on the bench behind James O'Connor (yes, he's still about).
Agree with Molehill, I think the match ups are all reasonably even, or at least in the same weight classes (maybe Argentina punching slightly above v France)

Thanks for this btw, have given myself an extra 20 minutes in bed.

Georgian ref doing a pretty good job so far, good comms, confident calls, letting the players play.
Only thing ruining it so far is the English comms on sky, there's supporting the boys but one in particular is basically giving every English player 'worlds best' description and overdoing the analysis of everything. And of course when Marler won a penalty he was worlds best, and now when de Groot wins a pen he's 'a very lucky boy'.
Anyway, good game so far.

a bit leniant on line out throws, and plays a long advantage.
but not harming the game for sure.

i didn't see him going off, but obviously hope it's nothing too bad.

england matching the intensity and eork rate but just falling slightly short on skills.
great to see them going toe to toe with the ABs though.
kudos to borthwick.
