"You need a Swiss army type player"
A?
He's stacked the whole backline with them

 

[TommiG88]

I like how we never throw offloads when it's on/we have good support runners but repeatedly throw them when under pressure/it's better to just take contact and recycle

I was thinking the same. Couple of offloads that have been on and not taken.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

This game is so frenetic; I'm getting tired just watching it

 

[Geordie]

Radwan would have loved this game...hed be on smiths shoulder all game ...tries galore

Definitely. OHC and Radwan on the wings today would have been good

 

[Bluemoon]

Italy need a bit more structure - they've brought some good intensity in the first half but the random offloads to no one has hurt them.

England being classically ruthless in this fixture though. Always a big weekend for the fantasy team.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Why are they acting like Randall did that on purpose

Dude got caught in no man's land did well to wiggle out but against another team it would have been trouble

Was just thinking that
Italy are terrible, what do we learn from playing Nowell and Daly against them?

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Don't think ive ever seen Itoje without a scrum cap

 

[TommiG88]

Isiekwe is offside

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Harsh although well spotted but it's never given usually

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

His feet don't move though, he just turns his body...

 

[Jashay]

Gutting, but a good spot by the TMO

 

[Which Tyler]

Seems finickerty to me - or am I just displaying why I'm (well, was) a back?

 

[TommiG88]

Harsh although well spotted but it's never given usually

Never seen a TMO stop a try out of that

 

[Reiser99]

It's fair enough, just frustrating that you'll see it missed in other games.

This was a golden opportunity to get some development minutes into some of the U18 players!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Never seen a TMO stop a try out of that

Especially a phase or two later - different if it was a maul try

Right call, just unexpected

 

[g6mcg]

That's an Italy decision

 

[ncurd]

Never seen a TMO stop a try out of that

Doesn't the TMO have a rile how many phases he can go back so it's more out of the fact we didn't have 20 pick and goes?
