England's Tom Curry red carded 2 minutes into World Cup Pool D opener
By Ian Cameron
England flanker Tom Curry was sensationally red-carded just two minutes into his side's Rugby World Cup Pool D opener against Argentina in Marseille.
Curry appeared to make head contact with Juan Cruz Mallia as the Puma's fullback collected a high ball just inside the Argentinian half of the Stade Velodrome.
Referee Mathieu Raynal sent Curry off on a yellow with the incident sent for a 'Bunker' review. It was duly upgraded to a red, with the review having deemed it met the red card threshold.
Just six minutes later it was Los Pumas who found themselves in hot water when Santiago Carreras was yellow carded for a late challenge on George Ford. He however returned to the field following his sin binning, which was also sent to the TMO bunker.
England had returned to Marseille for the first time since their Rugby World Cup 2007 quarter-final victory against Australia.
Argentina ended a 10-game losing streak against England in their last meeting, with their first victory since 2009 in Salta. They have never won consecutive tests in this fixture, with all four previous wins since 1981 followed by a loss the next game.
Four of Los Pumas’ five victories against England have been narrow, by seven points or fewer. Their only double-figure winning margin came in 1997, winning 33-13 in Buenos Aires.
England have led at half-time in 17 of their previous 25 meetings, converting 14 of these leads into victories. Argentina have only come back to win when trailing at the break three times against England, in 1990 in Buenos Aires, and 2006 and 2022 at Twickenham.

Yeah, I don’t really get it either.
The teams will need to be more competitive at some stage as I’m sure it won’t be cost effective before long. It’s a lot of money and resources they have to pump into it just to field teams, let alone compete.
Even with the Boks only focus being on RWC’s, the euro comps would be a great way to develop test players in the first 1-3 years of a RWC cycle.
Go to commentsIt's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.
Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
