The Scrum: England V Argentina Nov 2009 by DonDavisUK
The Scrum: England V Argentian 14th Nov 2009. England playing for the first time ever in a purple strip.
It was a blustery day with high kicking rugby. England and Argentina played their hearts out, but England came out the winners. Johnny Wilkinson played a blinder of a game, but he missed three penalty shots. Argintina played very well and it seemed at times they were about to take the lead by scoring a try. However, England held on and eventually won the scrappy match.
England were playing for the first time ever in a purple strip.
As usual, I enjoyed really the occasion, cheering for England doesn’t come naturally to a Scotsman, but I was the guest of a good English friend:-) We had good company on the way to the game, a meal in the Turk’s Head Pub and some great conversation about the match on the way back.

My first thoughts were exactly the same as Alex’ He didn’t miss one then! Was this at Twickenham? I used to go there regularly around the time you were born!
This is a very good photo young fella! No heads in the way which is often the case. Good work. Regards, Peter
Hey there Peter, I know, I know, but England still got beat by the Wallabies didn’t they? I had quite a good view from the middle tier of the East Stand. Don.
