Ecology Action Centre calls for immediate implementation of Coastal Protection Act | SaltWirePARIS - When England played Argentina on the first weekend of the Rugby World Cup they were coming off five defeats in six games with doubts swirling about their prospects, but when they meet again in the bronze final on Friday it is on a run of five wins in six games.
England recovered from having flanker Tom Curry sent off in the third minute to deliver a totally dominant display in a 27-10 victory, brilliantly marshalled by flyhalf George Ford, and were suddenly a team full of self-belief. But while England won plaudits for their tactics and technique in defeat by South Africa, Argentina were back where they started, utterly brushed aside by New Zealand 44-6 in one of the most one-side semis in the history of the tournament.
England's game plan is likely to be a little more ambitious than in the opening fixture, when their tactics were somewhat dictated by their numerical disadvantage, and it is now Owen Farrell rather than the benched Ford at flyhalf. Cheika made only three changes and said mentality was crucial in a fixture that is often derided as irrelevant and unwanted by exhausted and disappointed players.
