@Crucial it's not Hartley it's bloody Haskell! He's being a right knob and this is pretty embarrassing for England, it's fucking simple to understand and they're just whinging. The ref has even explained it clear as day.

Italy playing very well, clicking nicely and working really hard. England looking like the second stringers getting a run out, no cohesion and reverting to Lancaster ball.

[Billy Tell]

Lads if THIS England team takes NZ's record...

That was the most amusing half of rugby ever.

[Crucial]

Hartley's the captain though, it's his job.

Agree that it is horribly embarrassing and it will probably also lead to a quick WR law change

[Bones]

@Crucial yup but that's what's even worse, Haskell is babbling on being thick as fuck at every breakdown and he's not even captain.

Agree, for Haskell, as a loose forward to not know the laws at the breakdown is appalling.

[Crucial]

Man I wish they had the camera in the sheds at halftime.

What's the bet England just run one off behemoths at the Italian defence phase after phase for the rest of the game?

[Bones]

@Crucial that and it's tailor made for Ford to drop in the pocket and feed wide, flat ball to the outside backs, the space would be immense.

[Bones]

Anyway I'd expect England to romp it home in the second half, Gori a big loss for Italy he was playing fantastic.

[Crucial]

Both wrong. Looks like it will be kicks to the corners and rumble over.

[Derm McCrum]

Time to turn on the style from England. Now the avalanche starts....

[Crucial]

Penalty England, quick tap, try in the corner.

Level with kick to come

Not sure I'd call that style

[Crucial]

0-4 for Farrell.

10-10

[Crucial]

That was better.

England score again, this time it was quite good.

Needed Eddie to pulls the strings at half time as expected

EDIT: Farrell gets one 17-10 England

[Crucial]

Italy forgetting how to tackle

[Derm McCrum]

Italy went down to 14/1 to win the game at half-time, they're now out to 80/1.

Edit - make that 100/1...

[Crucial]

Itoje doesn't know the laws either. Picks the ball up while lying in the ruck

[Crucial]

17-15 at the 3/4 mark!

Kick to come

[Crucial]

Ford showed his 'great' defence on that try

Kick sliced. 17-15 England.

[Derm McCrum]

Did Eddie Jones really say last week that England plan to put a cricket score on Italy?
