Playing 75 minutes with a man down was uncharted territory for Englands defence guru Paul Gustard but he took immense pride in the way they rallied and readjusted to beat Argentina 27-14.Before Saturday, Englands finest defensive performance under Jones came in Melbourne where they made three times as many tackles as Australia and won the Test 23-7. But Saturdays win over Argentina was on that level, according to Gustard.Gustard took some of the criticism levelled at Englands defence in the wake of their wins over South Africa and Fiji personally. World Cup-winner Lawrence Dallaglio said he felt Englands defence lacked aggression, but they answered those critics with a superb defensive performance against the Pumas on Saturday.I believe in the team that weve got and in what were trying to do, Gustard said. The fact that we conceded three tries to Fiji and the late score versus South Africa isnt indicative of how well we defended in patches of those games.Today we were down to 13 men for large patches, two periods of ten minutes, and 14 men for most of the match. It was an incredible performance.It was far from straightforward. The red card and pair of sin-binnings meant their defensive line, the scrum and on-field positioning was constantly reorganised. Players had to drift out of position, play in unfamiliar areas of the field but they were rarely stretched.Sitting proudly in the coaches box was Gustard, the man who turned to a 1930s poem for inspiration ahead of that win in Melbourne. He isnt someone who does things the usual way - he once brought in wolves to Saracens training to forge their wolfpack mentality - and brought in a new, undisclosed approach for training ahead of their match against the Pumas.I dont want to be an ordinary coach, Gustard said after their win over Argentina. I dont coach bog standard, I try to be a little bit different and give some of my personality to the players.There was a different theme on Tuesday and our players bought into it. We got back to some of the things we were doing prior to the last two weeks.Some of the things came to fruition today. We were under massive duress and massive pressure which takes away your line speed in defence. We scrambled very well.In Australia we learned that we needed improve on that area. We tried to focus on in the first two weeks and by doing that, unfortunately, we lost some of our pressure on the opposition. We got 27 spilt balls or turnovers off these guys which was an incredible effort.Gustard was delighted with the performance of Chris Robshaw and Courtney Lawes and praised Owen Farrells role in leading the defensive charge for the backs.Up next for England are Australia. The agenda this week will revolve around Englands 13-match unbeaten run which included their 3-0 series win on Australian soil in June. Gustard will be preparing for another match packed with aggression and inevitably, unpredictability. For all of us, the next game is the most important game, Gustard said. We want to put our best foot forward. The fact is that Australia is the next game.We beat them 3-0 down there and motivation will be exceptionally high. You can channel a lot of that motivation into the first 20 minutes so it will be a titanic battle to start off with. Were looking forward to it.
