[2024 Six Nations] Italy vs England - 03/02/24

[Leonormous Boozer]

Superb English accent there

That was a shot you couldn't not take. Well done sir.

That England team is beyond boring to watch for a neutral! Italy has more x-factor on attack and are way more fun to watch!! Dingwall at 12, Daly at 11 (is this 2017?) seriously?

Italy were robbed today .

 

[Crash Hamster]

Wonder what our points difference will look like at the end of the 6N?

Hmm.

Totally disagree. England weren't dominant but never looked like losing IMO. That last try put the gloss on for he Italians. England in tonrol from about 25mins until 84th.

Don't mention the pasty the Welsh still think they invented it. Rather than lower themselves to calling it a cornish p

For me there were some positives such as Freeman and playing a bit more running rugby. But overall the performance doesn't inspire confidence. None of England's performances under Borthwick have. I'm not sure. Am I being overally critical and that a combination of EJ's legacy and English rugby being a mess means that Borthwick deserves more leeway or is the reality that this is as good as it gets and England are going to be mid table for the next 4 years at least?

Exactly how i feel. Really want to be wrong but it's hard to see.

Yes, you are being overly critical. Your relentless negativity is becoming predictable.

I can see that. On the other hand I would like England to give me something to be a bit more positive about. A 3pt win over Italy isn't that.

Had a match so wasn't able to watch. Anyone wanna give me a quick summary?

Depends.

Glass half full - England showed some improvement in attack and debut players played relatively well overall.

Glass half empty - We only won by 3 pts and defence was shocking at times.
