[2015 Six Nations] England vs Italy (Round 2)

[TRF_Olyy]

Ooh, that's a fun sentence.

"I think one thing nobody's asking is, 'Was George North actually knocked out?'" (Nobody is asking it because it is obvious.)
vs
"I think one thing nobody's asking, is was George North actually knocked out?" (Nobody is asking it, but I think it's worth asking.)

It was definitely the latter.



Good to see the back 3 looking to run everything already

Gotta say, i've had nothing but praise to give to England after your win against Wales last week. However, has any noticed how much people (media mainly) are comparing this England team to the 2003 world cup winning team?

Literally not seen anyone say anything like that.
Actually, I've seen idiots on social media say things like "England win one game and they think they're going to win the world cupp, arrogant *swear words*" but no one with half a brain cell.









Edit: Holy shiznit, Parisse try!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Two bad passes from Youngs already.
Two good kicks from Ford already.

Lose line out and crap tackling out wide cost us there.

 

[big ginger 8]

Neither team know's how to win a lineout.

Parisse continuing to prove that the one Italian you should always have in your team is him.

However, has any noticed how much people (media mainly) are comparing this England team to the 2003 world cup winning team? After so much has been made about some comparing the current Welsh team to the one during the 70's (and actually winning things) i find it very annoying and arrogant.

Austin Healey feels the same way as you................I reckon that is just media and would not take it serious!!! No real rugby fans see it that way........2003 were winning every time (and not letting Italy score!!!!)

Lol!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Terrible tackling from a number of people but particularly Brown.

 

[Groundhog]

Too funny.

 

[j'nuh]

Doesn't matter; points for my fantasy rugby.

 

[Jbobo]

Great try Italy!!!

 

[Chistera]

This is hilarious.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great work by Attwood in that maul

 

[Tony Manx]

The try just goes to show that really you need to earn the right to pass wide and England passing along the line early doors was pretty ineffective with the Italians some 10 yards away whilst it got to the outside centre!! If they are going to do that Brown needs to run a different line to break it up not merely join in the passing practice!!

Only just realised Lacey is the ref so England will be lucky to win...........................!!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

excellent work Attwood.
Marler good in the tackle so far.

 

[Irishkid]

Shocking from Brown. What happens now!?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ this ref is a **** at the breakdown - blowing for a penalty for not rolling as soon as they hit the floor.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Christ this ref is a **** at the breakdown - blowing for a penalty for not rolling before the tackles been fully completed

He got that right imo

 

[Tony Manx]

Ford took Parisse in full flight down..................end of complaints about his tackling please!!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wow what skill

 

[ratsapprentice]

Brown is out.
