PARIS (AP) — George Ford kicked everything, including three first-half drop goals, to give 14-man England a pressure-relieving 27-10 win over Argentina at the Rugby World Cup in Marseille on Saturday.
England was down a man from the opening minutes after flanker Tom Curry’s head clash with Juan Cruz Mallia resulted in a red card.
Argentina replacement Rodrigo Bruni scored the only try of the game in the last minute when it was already over.Ben Donaldson justified his surprise selection at fullback with two tries and 25 points in Paris as Australia earned its first win this year. The Wallabies’ five-test losing run attracted doubts before a tough Pool C match with Georgia, but four tries and a bonus point at a sweltering Stade de France also took some heat off coach Eddie Jones, who hadn’t won his last seven tests dating to last year.
The 82 in Bordeaux was Ireland’s highest Rugby World Cup score, and second highest all time. Ireland also extended its record-long winning streak to 14 tests over the last 14 months.
