@MiketheSnow No.

Some key England players (Sinkler, Lawes, Itoje, Curry May, Watson and Daly) are showing form again.
But Youngs' service was slow yesterday and both Farrell and Slade look out of sorts.
I thought Fat Billy was dreadful. Didn't ball carry effectively (made 1m from 7 carries), didn't contribute much in defence (only 5 tackles), was huffing and puffing after five minutes. Better sides than Italy will target him ruthlessly. I know Fat Billy is a bit of a favourite of England's Aussie coach, but I wonder how long Eddie Jones can persist with a player so obviously not in appropriate physical conditioning for international Rugby?

England Vs Italy highlights:
There were ‘highlights’?....
For the me the play of the game was the Italian try at around the 60th minute mark. Great to see an attacking midfielder run from deep, receive the ball at pace and then go into contact with momentum and offload.

Wales nearly bottled it. Could have been a bigger win if they actually landed kicks. Wales for the grand slam.
😂
We won’t beat England with Biggar
But you might if Farrell gets red carded for a shoulder charge. Here’s hoping your luck continues
Second person today float that lovely idea to me!

That last Scottish try was really impressive with 14 men.
As was scrum penalty packing seven against eight.
It was eight against eight in the scrum by that stage. They took off a Wing and put on the Reserve Prop.

Their first try was a cracker too

Actually, I think you’re right. Nel seem to give Welsh LH quite a few problems, but maybe not all of the legal variety!

Ireland by 5-8

Lowe has a leg on him
Better as full back?

Nah better as a link winger with an attacking fullback. Him and DMac were pretty lethal.

Ireland their own worst enemies
Patient phase play will see them home.

@MiketheSnow yeah despite the try, France are looking off today.
