England v Italy 6 Nations

Jailbreak7

@Bones yeah it's a very Borthwick no-nonsense type of approach. Beat them up in the forwards. Win the collisions. Keep the discipline. Keep it simple Nothing flashy.

Makes you wonder why he tried Smith last week at 10. Much more suited to Farrell at 10.

Probbly the best approach considering only a few months to RWC2023

Bones

That England jumper really suits playing in London. Looks like they've all been stabbed in the stomach.

Yeah but they're not exactly being pressed to try anything. They're succeeding before they even need to try.

Very disappointing Italy after all the hype.

Or that someone's on their period.

Italy score after half time.

Jailbreak7

After a classic Crowley half-time rev-up, Italy finally on the score sheet.

Bones

Would've thought a high tackle by an offside player on the try line should be considered for a penalty try.

KiwiMurph

Excellent Italian build up

sparky

19-7.

Jailbreak7

And it's getting tasty, surprisingly its Ferral.

sparky

Big hit on Owen Farrell. Beautiful.

sparky

Nothing wrong with that tackle.

sparky

Whose the biggest fluffybunny Feral or Itoje?

Jailbreak7

@sparky Evens for mine....

Jailbreak7

Padovani has done well today in a back-peddling defence.

Bones

Negri makes both England props look like kids.

sparky

Penalty try.

Jailbreak7

Penalty try??? Terrible decision.
