[2025 Six Nations] England vs Italy - 9/3/25

[Jimbo]

England dove in off feet pen, Ireland do it and injury a player but it's fine, ironic it's the Irish ref that pings England for it.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Ooh, Earl to centre..?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ben Earl is playing 12

 

[Which Tyler]

At least this looks like a genuine blood replacement.
Not sure why earl to centre over Hill though. You'd think fresh legs, more pace and more time in the backs would be more useful

 

[Crash Hamster]

Who had Earl/Daly as a centre combination on their Bostik Bingo card?

 

[TommiG88]

Motm would be Turry or Burry for me

 

[Reiser99]

Reckon Ted hill sprinkles the pitch with glass? Only time he gets on is when someone bleeds.

 

[IT157]

If Brace refereed Ireland they would concede about 100 penalties for sealing off.

 

[Bluemoon]

I can't stand Braces refereeing. It's so cynical at the breakdown it's always heavily penalised.

 

[IT157]

It would be nice to finish on a high. It has been a bit scrappy the last 20 minutes or so.

 

[AlRums]

Yeah good point, there were four people who were wrong.

The four that mattered.

 

[Jimbo]

Motm would be Turry or Burry for me

I'd give it to Braces whistle most influential in the constant stop start of this game.

 

[Reiser99]

I can't stand Braces refereeing. It's so cynical at the breakdown it's always heavily penalised.

He's just ****. Ireland spend all their time trying to get around the rules they don't bother to train their refs properly.

 

[Scotty]

Earl at 12 woop!

 

[Grizwald]

Its happening......

I don't know how to judge this. It's been over as a contest for so long as better team would have kept their foot on Italy's throat..... Have to give England some credit for dealing with various injuries. Taking Mitchell off has upset the back line even more. Borthwick loves JVP, I don't think he was that great in the A team game.

 

[IT157]

Again very disjointed with the subs coming on.

 

[Jimbo]

Oh **** off brace you allowed the Italians to lie all over that in the ruck before should have been under penalty advantage…

 

[Wasps92]

Twice Baxter has done that.

 

[curtbob7]

Sealing off again.

Pick and choose

 

[TommiG88]

Sexy from Burry
