[2022 Six Nations] Italy vs England (13/02/22)

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Don't get why people are acting like England didn't put 48 points on Italy last year

And the same posters praising this are the same ones who said it's only Italy then

Oh Steward… Brown would have nailed that offload

 

[Reiser99]

Bit scrappy, but far better than last when we went no where with the ball.

Yup Italy are below Premiership standard Bath should beat them!

 

[TommiG88]

Mori threw a dummy to no one and we fell for it

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Just seen Daly on, so Nowel did need a HIA

Unfortunately, Bath are below premiership standard; so I wouldn't be so sure

Yeah we don't look particularly good
Like individually our players are better and that's beating Italy but structures etc. a mess

Not seen anyone praising them really. It's good to see some attacking rugby and being dominant but it's expected as it's Italy….but it's still nice to see

 

[Geordie]

Malins doesnt look comfortable

Its a good job that none of them are involved with this England side eh...

 

[Which Tyler]

Why can't George challenge the ruck after the turnover?

(Other than "because sir said so", obviously)

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Greatest tackle I have ever seen!!!

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Ford wouldn't have made that tackle

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Why were Malins and Daly on the same wing in defence? That's an odd looking set up

 

[Which Tyler]

Ford wouldn't have made that tackle

No-one would; hell, Steve Rogers would have had difficulty.

Not just try-saving, but match saving.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Gutted for Nowell

 

[TRF_Olyy]

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

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

So a kick we could actually contest!!!

 

[Which Tyler]

Seeing Nowell's haircut - I can see why he wears a scrum cap

Of course, gutted he's injured.

combination of believing our own hype, desperation to make amends for last week, and "it's only Italy"


ETA: Nick Mullins - no need to wonder, on-field medics ave Jack the OK to carry on. We know for a fact that without the replay Dr.s he'd still be out there.
