[2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: Italy vs. England (14/02/2016)

[TommiG88]

How many missed tackles already?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Rather have Andy than Alex ATM

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

And another... At least Canna gets close!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How many missed DG's now?

50?

 

[McTallshort]

The chasing is poor

 

[TommiG88]

And the penalties continue.... Some of our forwards need a brain.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I wanted him to get that kick just because of that insane beard.

Mad beard envy over here.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Booooooooo

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Haskell you useless sack of...


Wait how did they not call that a knock on? It wasn't stripped - if anything Haskell stripped Lawes(?) and knocked it forwards in the process.


ALSO, while we're on it. In the press Jones said "Haskell doens't have bad hands, he has terrible hands". Why does he think that's acceptable for an international player?
It's not something that should be joked about, especially for a player who is supposed to be a link between forwards and backs.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Haskell you useless sack of...

Muscle?

 

[TommiG88]

Why did ford kick when we were making yards?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dat lineout

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hartley lineout Master!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why do Italy keep going to Garcia - he's pretty obviously out on the wing to cover for injury.


aaaaaaaand he's off

 

[Mhumhain]

Italy eventually get a decision feckin ref I'd unreal English getting away with murder

 

[TommiG88]

Woeful!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Nowell was lucky to get away with that last shoulder charge on Garcia, I've seen yellows for less.

Is that your attempt at English?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Loved the exhale of breath from one of the commentators when we took that quick tap.

"What the hell are you thinking?"

-1

You'd have to find a really pedantic ref to even penalise that, let alone card it.

 

[Mhumhain]

Garcia hit off ball cynical nothing 10 weeks ban at least no hands illegal shoulder charge. Garcia gone no justice
