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

[TopTen2003]

And there it is, like a knife through butter. Two phases?

Astonishingly easy and England look ripe for an upset here if they don't absolutely dominate up front.

 

[Reiser99]

Very nice try. Tbh while defence wasn't perfect that's hard to defend.

 

[Scotty]

Very well played by Italy

 

[Grizwald]

Italy have done nowt. Good try though.

 

[AlRums]

Nice try

 

[Crash Hamster]

Without our new 'attacking' (whatever that is) we'd be 0-7 down...

 

[Yulia]

Finally something good

 

[Jimbo]

Is SB getting another new record, England still the only 6 nations team to have never lost to Italy (senior level).

 

[TopTen2003]

Some take on the bounce that is

 

[Lé Ddanno]

We're 6:2 with JVP, right?

 

[curtbob7]

Forward pass?

Unreal that it wasn't mentioned or looked at

 

[AlRums]

England hold on to the ball, England penalty?

 

[Reiser99]

Brace called it flat live.

Earl to Centre is coming. The French showed the way.

 

[McTallshort]

Knock on?

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

That was forward from Gallagher surely?

 

[TopTen2003]

Does Itoje make yards in contact for Sarries?

Haven't recalled a decent game in that sense for ENG since NZ in the autumn?

Or am I perhaps harsh (uneducated?) on that front haha.

Hardly his record, but a record is his if England lose.

 

[Which Tyler]

England hold on to the ball, England penalty?

Yes, for the Italian tackler not moving away.
Which meant the English player couldn't place the ball.
Which made it easier for the jackler.

Which is why the ref said "not you, tackler not rolling" (or something like that)
