[2024 Six Nations] Italy vs England - 03/02/24

[dirty harry]

Why are Italy playing into the English blitz?!?!?!
Mix it up, hit close to the ruck, pick and go, do something other than get mullered

Italy making too many errors to win this game. Feel it's been one of their better opportunities to beat England at this point.

Since the Troncon era, I agree

 

[Which Tyler]

Nice defence from Freeman, backs off for the cavalry to arrive, then thinks "sod it" and tackles both Italian ballcarriers

 

[ntun82]

Allan plays for Lazio

 

[Reiser99]

Italy's handling has gone to pot.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The worst part of Freeman's play today is the sinking feeling knowing he could've been in the side all last season too but they chose not to use him

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Barney is impressively bad for a 25 cap international.

Suit up!

 

[Scotty]

Honestly still really surprised they didnt put Mitchell and FSmith as a pair.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We've been great on Italy's throw, just need to solidify ours

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Nice to see us properly attacking opposition line outs.

Being great on our throw is not that result, to be fair

 

[dirty harry]

Italy now doing Italy things...

Lineouts gone, playing into a blitz for some reason, handling too tough.

As soon as they looked competitive, they fall apart.

Fingers crossed they can regroup

 

[McTallshort]

Marler is playing well. Just put another big hit in

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Is Dingwall actually playing in this game?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Slade's played really well, much more physicality than I expected

 

[Scotty]

Gone 60 min, get Smith on

 

[AlRums]

First time we be ever heard Care called a live wire

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Bench not exactly being emptied yet.

 

[ntun82]

This last footage shows how empty the olimpico is

Bring the Flaminio back!
