[2023 Six Nations] England vs Italy - 12 February 2023

[Geordie]

Disappointed as I think OHC got no ball but was solid

Agree OHC has got the ball in crowded players only.

I'd have brought him on at 15 tbh

 

[IT157]

Hopefully just means Borthwick is keeping Willis wrapped in as much cotton wool as possible.

20 tackles supposedly

George taking the penalty for Mako knowing they need advantage they can get.

You got me after my slight edit which says the same

Makes a mockery of Jones not picking him

 

[Jimbo]

Makes a mockery of Jones not picking him

To be fair to Jones he was injured and not playing for a lot of the last couple of years.

 

[BrokenWing]

It’s all gone a bit keystone cops.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I really want Dombrandt to do well but he just isn’t good enough at this level.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

JVP really has so little awareness that players can unbind from mauls and scrums as soon as he has the ball. Didn't look at the Italian player at the back of the maul once.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

The knock on is disappointing but how did Lawrence get through there? He looks like everything we’ve wanted at 12.

 

[TopTen2003]

If you’d have said to me at the end of RWC 2019 final that Dan Cole would need to be recalled as an option for us in the 2023 RWC year I’d have said that would be a poor reflection on our front row options!

Really cannot believe where we are with that one. (No disrespect to Dan)

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Mitchell looks like I'm not going to like him. Wish him well.

 

[TommiG88]

Shame from Lawrence there

 

[Geordie]

To be fair to Jones he was injured and not playing for a lot of the last couple of years.

Yes but available this season

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Mako has now been in 2 scrums that haven't collapsed, what's going on?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Mitchell looks like I'm not going to like him. Wish him well.

He looks like Adrian Brody.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Even Ben Earl has caught Mad Farrell Disease now.
Overlap there.
