Oh yes…. 🙂

England – doing more in ten minutes than Ireland did all game against Italy. Long way to go yet though.

Good game this, Italy really looking for the breaks.

bloody league players eh?………….. 😉

Strange game to play counter attacking rugby at home. Seems to be working so far. Nice warm up for tomorrow’s grand slam decider.

muddydwarf………when you come to union from league, having to release the ball when tackled seems a very very alien thing to do.

he will get better i think.

Needs to learn fast Ton, at this level it can mean the difference ‘tween winning & losing.

He is a natural talent though, one of the few who can really switch from one to the other i suspect.

New Jason Robinson?

Oh dear…Italy. Come on. Make a game of it.

We’ve had quite a good record over the last five or so years you see.

Right, off to take the dog for a stroll…I think the next match might be worth watching. Undoubtedly, England are showing far more quality than Ireland showed last week – but this is not the Italy that showed up in Rome either. Ill-disciplined and a bit clueless – I guess England are exploiting the weaknesses and making them look even worse.

I’ll save my beer for the next game.

Good stuff from England though – even Cueto’s looking good and that’s something!!

Bloody hell, 4 tries for Ashton.

DD was right, these points are racking up 🙂

Sorry DD but this is how to beat Italy!

An Italy than ran Ireland very, very close though Ton.

Don’t be fooled, they aren’t a bad team at all.Not great but not at all bad.

Great show from England, they have had a decent amount of quick ball in their last two games, they need to be stopped on or around the gainline and slowed down, or they are going to be dangerous.

Italy were a lot worse than last week, first up tackles missed all over the shop.

If our lads can’t get the finger out against France tomorrow its time for a new coach or the World Cup will be another shambles.

One of you is telling porkies? 😆

Eh?

Molly take a walk over the keyboard?

That’s what I thought too. England are spreading themselves out very well, which is what caused Wales problems and Italy simply couldn’t cope. A case of reasonable good play and a decent game plan by England and a complete failure to deal by the Italians. Compare their defence with Wales last week.

shandy
i think italy were a fair bit better last week.
the pack were very good, this week they were not.

i think england will struggle with ireland, like usual.

COME ON SCOTLAND!!!!
