Thought I was the only one thinking that. It's the intro that always sounds funny to me. I feel like im in a circus.

That was a hillarious stat:
"That's first penalty Wilkinson has missed, after starting an international game, since 2003."
How tenuously he stringed together a bunch of sentences there to make it seem like it's been years since wilkinson missed a kick.
LOL.


And he just missed a second.

I'm waiting for another stupid "stat"

 

[bristol-iain]

Wilko misses from 15m out.


Bwahahahhahhaha

but he missd like in the AI's when he stated it doesn't make sences

Both Italy and England are playing some good rugby. Italy see to be winning the forward battle, especially at the scrum.

Could someone give me a link to watch the game? Going mad here, no stream seems to work...last week it worked perfectly.

P.S. I hope it's not forbidden to ask for a stream. Didn't see such a rule at registration.

Here's a stream

Couldnt resist :lol:

England really need to get themselves together over half time, because this is shocking play from them.
They have done one good piece of play all half...and that was in the first minute.

 

[lynam1104]

Wait is shaw the captin?

 

[feicarsinn]

England are playing stupid, stupid rugby. I can just imagine the tactical discussion this week:

"Hey lets try to expose Italy out wide. Attack from deep and try to run their weaker backs ragged"

"Nah lets kick the ball at them and try to play a game based around the set piece"

"Genius Rob, pure Genius"

 

[RC]

England seem genuinely baffled that Italy are playing better than last week.

 

[lynam1104]

good break from fulty there

 

[elgringoborracho]

Not very convincing from England apart from that last break. They'll have to be better than that if they want to win this, but I think they'll turn up in the second half.
Come on les rosbifs you can do much much better

 

[Olyy]

WTF are England doing?
They're kicking every time they get the ball, it's crazy. I suspect that Johnsons told them to play as crap as they have, as he was saying before hand he's not looking for running rugby, the douche.
Fluteys last break is one of the only good bits (the others being Armitage in the first few seconds, and Monyes good break as well)

Also, with Wilkinson missing his penalties, they should bring Flood on for the 2nd half, as he's the better general player, Wilkinson is just there for hitting every penalty, which he isn't doing

 

[gingergenius]

f***'s sake. Wilkinson missing kicks desn't help. But mainly, the forwards are being so f***ing lazy, literally walking around in the middle of the pitch, which is forcing the back 3 into ping pong. If they bothered to run back and support, maybe we'd see some proper counterattacking. Also, Italy are lying all over the ball - someone needs to get stamping or the ref needs to fix up.

 

[mohamed_ali12]

If England didnt f***ing kick the ball all the time, they'd be 10 points up by now. When they had the ball in hand they look really threatening but WTF are players like Armitage and Tait kicking the ball for when they're here to RUN IT. THAT IS WHAT THEY GOT IN THE TEAM FOR.

 

[Olyy]

Exactly, i can't recall Tait kicking this much in two seasons with Sale put together, as today

 

[Olyy]

Tait try!
That's what you get for not kicking away posession.

And Wilkinson fluffs the conversion

 

[bristol-iain]

Bit of adventure rewarded, watch them continue kicking the ball away.
