MARSEILLE, France, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Argentina lacked rhythm and failed to take control of the game despite having a man advantage, but can learn lessons from their 27-10 Rugby World Cup Pool D loss to 14-man England, coach Michael Cheika said on Saturday.
"Pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong," Cheika told reporters.
"England managed the game very well, it was stop-start, which was how they wanted it.
Argentina face Samoa on Friday in what is now a must-win contest in Pool D."The world is not over," Cheika said.
We have many first-timers in World Cup games and they will take a lesson of how we need to be ready when the whistle blows."
