England v Italy 6 Nations

[Catogrande]

@Crucial

Sorry.

Have now edited to make your post redundant and illustrate just what a GOM you are.

You’re welcome.

Nervy start by Italy

[Jailbreak7]

All England so far. Not surprising after Scotland last week. Italy gone back into their shells. England score. Yawn.

[Jailbreak7]

Not much sign of FB Capuozzo so far. Italy pack have been MIA. Could be a long afternoon for them.

[Bones]

Yeah Italy look uncoached again. Disorganised, with little endeavour.

And then...

Strong England defence so far.

England 7 Italy 0. 20 minutes gone

[sparky]

England scrum wins another penalty.

[Bones]

The reasoning Doleman is using to penalise Italy might have been nice to apply to the 3 blokes bound by a fingernail at the front of the England maul.

[sparky]

It's a bit boring.

[sparky]

Looks like Chessum scored.

[Jailbreak7]

Cant understand the logic Doleman is using. England are clearly sealing off as well.

[sparky]

England 14 Italy 0.

[sparky]

Quality a lot lower than Ireland- France yesterday.

[Jailbreak7]

England comms talking up the team into world-beaters.

Very first play of the game had Genge crawling into the breakdown then lying down, just like in Ireland/France yesterday. At least both sides were ignored then.

[Bones]

Italy are toast. That was horrible defence.

[Jailbreak7]

Italy away from home are a different prospect.
They really need to shore up that defence. Looks porous and weak. Need also to adapt to referees rulings.

[Victor Meldrew]

Bit one-sided with England dominating upfront

Padovani having a blinder on defence

[sparky]

Van Poortvliet scores the 3rd try for England.
