England v Italy 6 Nations

[Bones]

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

@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.

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.

I think it would be fair - if he'd awarded the one down the other end. Less blatant infraction but probably just as telling.

[Jailbreak7]

Italy need to find a way to get some decent ball and go-forward.

[sparky]

England playing to their own strengths to be fair.
