England v Italy

[An Tarbh]

I like that from the commentator, he's really taking his opportunity, at least on the scoreboard. :lol:

 

[An Tarbh]

it really is a calamity of errors at the moment.

 

[Sir Speedy]

What an awful game. Italy will be distraught, as they've gifted England four tries, and taking them away means they'd still be in the game. Mauro at nine, I admit now, was an appalling decision. His passing was embarrassing and you've got to feel sorry for him in a way.
This doesn't benefit England either. They're going to be slaughtered next week based on this performance, despite what the media will say tomorrow morning.
Ellis is as **** as ever. Lions contender? **** off.
Goode wasn't an inspired decision. Not at all. In fact, no charge downs is all I can separate him from Cipriani in the Autumn.

please let this be the worst game of the tournament.

It can only get better.... can't it?

appart from letting that knock on go and letting them have the penalty again, the ref has been very good.

don't put the mockers on the next game. Having said that I'll take a crap game if it means a win for us.

 

[An Tarbh]

oh well. Sums up this game that.

 

[Incredible Schalk]

Zanni's attempt to catch what surely would have been a try scoring charge down summed up the game. School boy level stuff

Geraghty in the bin now

 

[Sir Speedy]

Somebody needs to make a GIF of Johnson's facepalm then. Absolutely quality summation of the game.
Also, if you ever needed further proof of Sackey's shiteness... Where's he been today?
Mirco Bergamasco scores the best try of the game, easily. Good for them. They certainly deserve it. The game would have looked vastly different if Mauro hadn't started at 9.

I don't know why Mallet didn't have faith on this scrum half from the beginning, he hasn't done anything wrong as far as I can see.

 

[monkeypigeon]

best try of the match.

 

[An Tarbh]

talk about trying to make a pigs ear of scoring a try. Goodness gracious.

 

[Vambo]

They nearly f***ed that up :lol:

Fully deserved try though :bravo:

 

[An Tarbh]

Family pride restored now.

 

[An Tarbh]

all in vain eventually but what a hit from Dellape.

 

[An Tarbh]

bit dodgy to let that ball bounce, no harm though.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Ellis man of the match?

Bergamasco should get it for England

 

[An Tarbh]

that really is scraping the barrel Moore, either that or it's a shocking indictment on the England performance, think it's more of the latter.

 

[An Tarbh]

No doubts over that.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Yay, we get to head over to the ireland vs France thread.
