Italy have offered almost nothing in the second half.
I do think Portugal and Georgia should get a chance to play some years in the 6 Nations. Promotion and relegation would give an edge to games like this.
Please sort your own house out
Italy are the best of the next

Can someone please explain why
If a restaurant critic has a poor meal experience they are allowed/expected to slate the joint
and a movie critic watches a dire movie they’re allowed/expected to slate it
But a rugby critic will espouse Italy as plucky & unlucky and readers will nod sagely when what should have been written is
An individual moment of athletic superiority from Monty Ioane which gave Italy a losing BP deflected the fact that a willing and capable Italian side played with the tactical nous of a schoolboy team handing possession, momentum, and ultimately victory to a lacklustre England who almost grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory

Razor's All Blacks will put a hundred on these England boys if they play with that low level of intensity in New Zealand.
Whilst I agree with most you have said, this is a bold statement for a team that has yet to play a game.

In response to a mate's suggestion that the England selection was interesting, I said this:-
"Interesting to a degree but the real issues are a) how Will Borthwick play the game and b) how many minutes will Smith, Fayi-Waboso and Cunningham-South get? My thoughts given the selection of Ford AND Daly is a) kick and chase and b) between 10 & 15 minutes between them"
All so appallingly predictable.

To be fair if Blackadder and Charlie Ngatai started that would be a given.
