STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSWatch onMARSEILLE, France - Argentina lacked rhythm and failed to take control of the game despite having a man advantage, but can learn lessons from their 27-10 Rugby World Cup Pool D loss to 14-man England, coach Michael Cheika said on Saturday.
Argentina had a man advantage for most of the game after a red card for England flanker Tom Curry, but never looked in control as flyhalf George Ford kicked 27 points to guide his side to victory. "Pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong," Cheika told reporters."England managed the game very well, it was stop-start, which was how they wanted it. Ford played the cards nicely in this scenario."Full credit to them, they did not let us get flow into our game. Ford was excellent, not just his kicks at poles but also in general play.""The world is not over," Cheika said."We still have work to do to qualify.
"It’s a bad thing to happen but it’s better that it happened in the first game. We can learn from it."
