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

[NickBD]

England fans have no patience. It's been a game and a half and people are already calling him clueless.

 

[Peat]

89pc at the rucks that half according to ESPN. That's a bit pathetic. That, and the lineouts, is why we're not getting anywhere much. A couple of occasions of Ford taking it to the line, looking around, seeing nothing and getting smashed and not hanging on to the ball is an ugly cherry on top.

Italy look the better side in general imo and, one very smart and ruthless bit of play by England aside, would be in front.

Don't know how Jones fixes our ball retention at half-time but that is the priority.

"and the battle for the ball on the floor...Haskell is beaten to it"

England fans have no patience. It's been a game and a half and people are already calling him clueless.

Apologies, I'm a tad passionate.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That ****ing maul.

We'd have scored that if Beaumont was on.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

HahahaHaskell


Short got a yellow card for less vs Sale yesterday


Edit:
How'd he get away with that?! He fully knew what he was doing.


Also WHAT THE **** ARE THESE SUBS?
Jones says he wants to look at new players so he brings on the only two experienced forwards.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Does Dan Cole understand rugby?

 

[TommiG88]

I would have given a yellow.

 

[ncurd]

Got away with that one....

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Agreed

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Haskell looks like a brilliant schools' player...

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

It's far too early to judge Jones but not too early to judge some players.

 

[valley commando]

Got away with that one....

Yes definite yellow card to Haskell. Jackson not up to his job.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dylan "controlled aggression" Hartley.

 

[TommiG88]

That was a tad harsh.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Bad call... As much as aid like it not to be! **** Garces.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

That was harsh on Hartley

 

[Groundhog]

Reckon that was harsh on Hartley tbf

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I don't think it's harsh.
It's a shoulder charge.
Just because lots of people get away with it doesn't mean it's legal.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I'm kind of upset JJ got that. Would really want to see what we had without a break away try
