[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1173703, member: 73144"] For a while you thought there might be an upset but we closed Italy down in the 2nd half and didn’t really look like losing. Italy though had the players to conjure some inspiration and our defence was a bit disorganised so they always had a puncher’s chance. Still literally our worst ever result against them and odds on they’ll be whitewashed again. The good: Freeman, defensive line speed - suspiciously fast at times, attacking the Italian line out. Roots was fine but when everyone’s available we have better. And, er…..otherwise just a bit meh. Like Chessum a lot but I think he lacks the outright power to be a totally convincing lock. Think it’s only a matter of time before we see Itoje and Martin in the row with Chessum at 6. CCS on the other hand is a naturally powerful unit - lot to learn but one decent carry and put himself about a bit in the tackle……powerful, aggressive, according to Launch is coming on well in the line out and should definitely be invested in.
