[2023 Six Nations] England vs Italy - 12 February 2023

I reckon T.Curry replaces ludlam vs Wales,
Imagine throwing T.Willis in at 8

Some talent we've got available atm

The way Dombrandt's playing I'd be very tempted to go 6. Willis 7. Curry 8. Ludlam.

Obviously 8 isn't Ludlam's best position but he's played a good bit of rugby there and he can't do any worse than Dombrandt has done the last couple of weeks.

What about Italy constantly attempting to trap players on the wrong side to win not rolling away penalties?

That's just part of the game, TBF

 

[Jimbo]

The Chessum and JvP penalties were very clearcut, no buying or selling required

I'll remember week in week out in the prem when I hear refs call, buying penalty pinning him in, me old mate Olly says this isn't a thing what are you talking about, chessum more clear cut but JVPs for me no so much.

And Ted Hill

And Barbeary

Well that balances it out. How is he just on the body when the ball moves towards England?

It happens but neither of those were it - Chessum rolled directly into the 9, JvP was lying directly on top of the ball and didn't attempt to move regardless of legs trapping him in
Both clear-cut penalties

Still kick the bloody ball senseless away.

 

[Geordie]

And Barbeary

At 2 yes....big ask in the back row

Still kick the bloody ball senseless away.

If SMith had done that, there would have been outrage at his lack of game management...

Beauty from Malins

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dombrandt catch a ball challenge (impossible!)

Challenge completed

 

[ncurd]

I wasn't even talking about that one....

 

[AlRums]

Great sell by Malins

 

[Jimbo]

Still kick the bloody ball senseless away.

Apparently short range kicking to receive a kick is more effective than keeping it in hand for 5 - 10 meters.

We pass the ball, which comes a surprise, so it bounces and we have to go back and collect it. And Italy beaten by the bouncing ball
