Stop talking nonsense then.

It's not nonsense it's an observation

What a crap try by north

 

[TommiG88]

You don't even see the kind of defending in the magners league.

 

[Peat]

Heard a few references to Italy's injury list - how bad is it?

Yeah I can sympathise with Italy we went through that during the World Cup not sure how we made it out of the group stages tbh

At least you can take the positives of coming 2nd in the 6 nations.

Any reason why you are so bitter? Have you been sucking lemons??

Great try from Italy , Shaun Edwards ideology is out the window

Bitter about what exactly?

 

[ncurd]

Just blow the whistle you ***.

Yeah, I got up thinking it was the end of the game.

Italy are awful, embarrassing.

 

[ncurd]

Thanks Poite there was absolutely no need to put Italy through those final few minutes.

 

[SelimNiai]

On the whole a good performance. 60 points, tries, some good attacking rugby. And yet I guarantee there will be those preaching DOOM

 

[McTallshort]

Italy have to start being more competitive. It's not nice to say but it's embarrassing now.

Doom for Italy maybe? This relegation idea needs to be looked into.

 

[ThebigARena]

Very happy with that performance but also frustrated when they release the shackles they can play no doubt , just wish this was the game plan every single time, it's frustrating but happy and proud with that and finishing second isn't great but il take it and the future is bright

Or maybe outplayed?? Like you outplayed us the first 60 not that we were awful or anything

 

[SelimNiai]

It does but Italy's injury list needs to be taken into account, they've had some horrid luck with some 1st choice players out. Lets see how the new coach, whoever it is gets on.

Vey competive against you for 60 mins , should of beaten France you are talking out of your bum

Not really doable (at all, IMO) until there are significant changes to the European calendar/structure.

Italy got mullered by most teams this 6 nations. Italy always start a 6 nations more brightly and they slowly become worse through the championship. They are like it every year but have been a lot worse this year

But be my guest, enjoy this win like you've just beaten New Zealand.
