Win at the end of that week and your whole outlook alters. That is all it takes for the bad stuff to melt away. For this England team, after the run-in they have had, a win against Argentina would change everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t make them the best team in the world all of a sudden but it would make them feel differently about themselves and about the task ahead in France. At the 2007\u00a0Rugby World Cup\u00a0when the England side I played in were spanked 36-0 by South Africa in our pool match it looked like we would be coming home across the Channel early.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was on our backs and some home truths were spoken but eight days later we beat Samoa and we were off and running.\u00a0By the time we came to play the Springboks again &#8211; after what was an incredible run to the final &#8211; we came within a whisker of winning the whole tournament.<\/p>\n<p>And yes I still think my foot wasn\u2019t in touch. It\u2019s amazing how quickly a switch can be flicked in sport. England just need to find a way to turn the ship around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Rugby should enforce rule changes after call for England ace to get 6-month ban<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/69\/590x\/secondary\/4951001.jpg?r=1694209484661\"><\/p>\n<p>What I want to see from them tonight in Marseille is passion. You are guaranteed that from Argentina but I haven\u2019t seen enough of it in the build-up from England. They can be forgiven the odd wrong call or unpolished system &#8211; Steve Borthwick and his coaching team have been given such a short time to sort the technical side &#8211; but effort is non-negotiable.<\/p>\n<p>I want Argentina, who are a good side, to know they have come face to face with the real England. After a tough time for the sport in England, with the World Cup on terrestrial TV this is a great shop window for these players.<\/p>\n<p>It is an opportunity for new stars to be made &#8211;\u00a0and rugby should not shy away from that. Too often English conservatism views individualism as a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Buy all of your Rugby World Cup 2023 programmes here<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
