If you want to be overly simplistic, then you can look at it like that.
AB’s lost at home by 8 vs Los Pumas, in my book that is a bigger loss than by 1 vs Ireland considering where they are in terms of quality.
Losing by a point away to Los Pumas with 11 changes is also acceptable given the exposure that new players got.
Go to commentsMarcus Smith perhaps, but not Finn Russel. He did nothing against the Springboks, whereas Marcus Smith was consistently outstanding in all the games he played. Had he stayed on the park against the All Blacks, then England would probably have won the game
