[2021 Six Nations] England vs Italy (13/02/21)

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Didn’t Farrell knock it on when trying to catch it before that?

 

[Reiser99]

Think the argument is that he started to tackle when Slade tried to gather, which is legal.

 

[Wendigo7]

Glad to see Ben Young’s still passing to peoples heads.

hes awful. Absolutely awful.

 

[higgik]

Italy player just grabbed Slade without the ball...

Yes, but if we are searching for things like that then we are digging deep for positives

 

[Which Tyler]

Think the argument is that he started to tackle when Slade tried to gather, which is legal.

Then we're either talking abut different occassions within the play, or it's a VERY generous argument.

I'm talking about the pull back just after Slade kicks the ball


ETA: Nice from Watson - he's on fire when he actually gets to touch the ball

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Billy tackled by only one player...again. He really offers nothing.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Brilliant hands from Slade

Edit: May*

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Passing to wingers....works?

Hmm

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Watson!

 

[Reiser99]

Might go back to check if it was a knock on

 

[higgik]

This winger Watson, looks lively, why wasn't he playing last week.

 

[ncurd]

Too easy for Watson poor defence.

Passing to wingers....works?

Hmm

Crazy talk! It's the kick that did it

That was what was said in commentary. Didn't get a good replay to see if that was correct.

 

[AlRums]

In the replay forward passes by England

 

[Reiser99]

Well taken by Watson. That's the exact situation where Italy struggle. When something happens to disrupt their line.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ref looks like Matt Hancock

 

[ncurd]

Ref looks like Matt Hancock

For and English hating Scot he seams to be doing alright.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Youngs is so so so bad

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Youngs messing up the momentum once again. Ford probably shouldn’t have been where he was though.
