[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 3: England vs Italy (26/02/2017)

It's amazing how liberal everyone here is about the rules. Like I clearly just don't get it and apologies for the comments.. :(
 
Danny Care does the first thing right he's done all game.

It would be different if there was nothing England could do about it, but there is... and they didn't have the game understanding to implement the counter-tactic.

Scrummaging for penalties, holding tacklers onto the ball are all far more cynical and prevalent.
 
Oh dear, Jones boy, re my post after. I'm not being arrogant, this game has put the integrity of the sport into dbout, of course I know the rule (I face palmed myself when I read that part), I'm saying that morally, O'Shea and Italy shouldn't be doing this and can almost garuntee the IRB will do something about it to back this claim, you can jump off your horse now bud..

The only world rugby should do is require all international captains to take a law exam before they step foot on the pitch.
 
See that's all that needed to be done. Pick and go rinse and repeat then exploit the gaps. Only took 40 mins.
 
Good hands for that try. Didn't expect the Italians to be this stupid. Did they think the English management weren't going to address the ruck issue?
 
Italy's tactics are shock tactics. They work when the opposition don't know how to counter it. Once the tactics have been worked out, they are very easily dismantled. That's why World Rugby don't really need to do anything about this.
 
Playing the ball on the the floor you stupid ****. Thank **** we've actually turned up now
