2014 6 Nations: Italy vs England (Round 5)

[Big Ewis]

England couldn't have hoped for it, but a penalty try possibility here against Italy !...

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

****.

 

[Big Ewis]

Italy actually held up remarkably there, but England sharp with the finish anyways.

Will be interesting to see who Manu comes on for.

Edit: It's Burrell... a bit harsh IMO.

 

[Patchey]

Saw that move coming, Nowell was set up nice and deep behind Farrell.

Young and Manu coming on, why not Ford?

 

[MunsterMan]

Harsh yellow, Farrell's kicking is immaculate. Come on Italy!

 

[ratsapprentice]

I reckon Ford will come on after the next try.

 

[Thingimubob]

Don't blame Burrell for being annoyed at being taken off, one of Englands best players today and for the whole Championship, deserves his place on the pitch

 

[Patchey]

I reckon Ford will come on after the next try.

Let's score quickly then!

Burrell looks inimpressed. I guess the logic is that he's had a great 6N already while Manu needs to get back into thinks, taking Nowell off would have been harsh and it would be good for May to get a score.

 

[Tony Manx]

Harsh yellow, Farrell's kicking is immaculate. Come on Italy!

Agree harsh but think more for accumulation than just that offence for it was exactly per Hartleys last week!!

Edit.....sub caused already confusion and lost line out. Mind as well bring Ford on now as any chance of big score really gone....

 

[Thingimubob]

I'm sorry but can't help but feel this ref is much quicker to penalise Italy than he is England. He's not the only one to do it too, I remember Poite's godawful display last year in Twickers...

 

[Big Ewis]

May. The great sideways runner.

 

[Patchey]

Yours is being above average today, 50% in the line out! (Sarcasm on)

Nice break from Nowell. Come on England!

 

[Big Ewis]

such a weird situation, that try..

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

italy on self-destruct today

 

[ratsapprentice]

Great run and offload from Jack.

Ford should be coming on right now.

 

[Thingimubob]

May. The great sideways runner.

This. I couldn;t help but laugh when he got nailed behind where he started off

 

[ruggabee]

How many more points do England need to score?

 

[Patchey]

I'm sitting in the university library silently screaming 'Bring Ford on!'.

That try was very odd, Lawes looked like he'd screwed it up but Italy seemed keen to stand back and let 36 run.

Ford on yet? Please?

 

[Thingimubob]

How many more points do England need to score?

They're 17 points behind Ireland atm
