3rd Place Playoff

I know I'm in a small minority but I like 3rd place playoffs. I think getting to a semi should be celebrated and this match gives teams to finish on a mini high (especially where a team has got to a semi unexpectedly). They are sometimes not bad matches either as the pressure is off.

That said, this isn't the most exciting one in prospect. I haven't seen the teams but I would say England are favorites. Argentina have been particularly unimpressive this tournament. They just seem a bit confused about what they are trying to do, even though they have a bit of talent.

For a while, once Argentina got going, it was an interesting match, albeit not one of the highest quality.

Also, I suspect England have found a back row star in Ben Earl. He reminds me a little of Scott Quinnell
