[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 706661, member: 56232"] Italy looked very stubborn in defense until they got the yellow then Ireland took them apart. Pretty deadly when going through the forwards too. I think England will need to look at playing an expansive game against Italy as those forwards don't look like they will be going backwards any time soon. It's in games like this I'd prefer to see the likes of Eastmond at 12 and I'm glad we have Joseph rather than Tuilagi. I think the Italians could deal with Tuilagi all day. England will need to really put numbers in at the breakdown and slow any Italian ball to ensure they can't get momentum with their forwards. If we can do that I think they will go the same way as Wales and struggle to find a plan B. [/QUOTE]
