We look at talking points in the wake of England's 27-10 Rugby World Cup win over Argentina including the bottle of forgotten man George Ford, continued red card concerns and the strangeness of Argentina's performance.
The boot of Ford proved pivotal as England posted a remarkable victory in Marseille, after the loss of Tom Curry to a third-minute red card.Back-row Curry was red carded via World Rugby's bunker review system, as his yellow card for a head-on-head contact with Juan Cruz Mallia in a tackle was upgraded to red due to a lack of mitigation.

Another England red cardFour weeks ago at Twickenham, England skipper Farrell caught Wales flanker Taine Basham direct to the face with a high tackle, using a technique that has got him into bother previously, and was shown a red card.Three weeks ago in Dublin, England No 8 Billy Vunipola was dismissed for a shoulder-to-head tackle on Ireland prop Andrew Porter, in which he made no attempt to wrap his arm.
