2014 6 Nations: Italy vs England (Round 5)

[Tony Manx]

Two tries butchered by over ambitious passing.......HEADS.....use them!!!

 

[MunsterMan]

Twelvetrees butchers a try by throwing a big miss pass when they had a 3v2.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hartley popped up way too much in that passage of play - why is a hooker going in at first receiver on a backs move?
His pass out wide was terrible, so it obviously wasn't planned to try and trick the Italian defence.

 

[Big Ewis]

England should've scored on at least two occasions so far. Disappointing for them. Enormous spaces there. They do all the work and then botch it.

 

[Patchey]

What has May done to deserve all these hospital passes? Seriously?!

Harley needs to spend less time in the back line.

Burrell playing very well.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was a great line from Farrell and pop from Care!

 

[Patchey]

That was a great line from Farrell and pop from Care!

Oh look, we run a proper line and score!

Let's switch on now shall we lads?

 

[Big Ewis]

England with a couple of tries already. And despite many, many mistakes, very solid still.

 

[ratsapprentice]

That was a great line from Farrell and pop from Care!

Agreed.

Just need to be more sensible with our choice of passes.

 

[Tony Manx]

I see the Hartley haters are back.......Mako has spent almost as much time in the backs as Hartley!! The way they are playing there are no forwards and backs and any pod system has totally gone......seems like lets get the ball, chuck it around and if May gets blasted so much the better!!!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Literally my only issue with twelve trees is his decision making.

 

[Big Ewis]

Italy have blown EVERY - Single - CHANCE so far. Incredible.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

One chance?

 

[Patchey]

I see the Hartley haters are back.......Mako has spent almost as much time in the backs as Hartley!! The way they are playing there are no forwards and backs and any pod system has totally gone......seems like lets get the ball, chuck it around and if May gets blasted so much the better!!!

Yeah back Mako has been scarring, not throwing daft passes.

Agree on the weirdness of the system we've been playing though.

 

[Big Ewis]

One chance?

about 4-5 good ones.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Browny boooooooooooooooooy numero dos

 

[Big Ewis]

Mike Brown - player of the tournament. No doubt now.
Italy crumbling much earlier than I anticipated...

 

[ratsapprentice]

I guess Brown had been saving up his tries for this tournament then?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Well those are not scoring chances. You are referring to the ball being turned over with potential to counter attack, but then Italy knocking on or something.

 

[Tony Manx]

Brown is wonderfuel again....any real doubts on player of the series must be eliminated now!!

Mind you, the control England have is allowing them to play him as a third centre and there is no need for a Full Back!!
