Italy look quite good to be fair to them. They're limiting England's chances well to counter their inability to stop them, and are competent on the ball. A lot more organised than before.

Same old annoying issues for the England fan.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Far too many completely pointless penalti Italy wouldn't even be close if we didn't keep giving them away. Set piece attacks look decent but composure is lacking. Cole is so ******* slow to get up off the floor.

Personally would try Ford at 9 next week with Faz 10 and Te'o/JJ as 12/13

Hmm, I hope your joking...

Bench then?

 

[j'nuh]

I like Itoje, but I feel like he gives away too many penalties in the breakdown. Maybe I'm wrong and noticing a pattern that isn't there, but it has stood out to me ever since he first started playing for England.

Bench then?

Vellacott, Robson and Wigglesworth and considered to be the tied 3rd choices.

 

[Every Time Ref]

He's been Jonny May.

Runs arcing lines well, but is generally scatty.

Yep. You can always spot at least 3 or 4 errors a game of varying severity

My choice would be Robson but I wouldn't be surprised to see Wigglesworth.
EJ clearly sees Youngs/Care as his first choice and doesn't care about third choice, so Wigglesworth is the most experienced of the three and a decent option to bring on and see out a game.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Also we've all been saying what happens if one of our scrum halves gets injured, well looks like Jones is now going to be forced to finally address the issue

Hoping it's not Wigglesworth

Bald front rows are dumb unless they wear a scrum cap.

You'll regret saying that when Williams and Hepburn bring their topknot/mullet combination to the international stage.

 

[ncurd]

Surely the pass was forward?

 

[ncurd]

Hell I thought the pass to Te'o was forward as well.

It's not as if I'll ever be anything less than disgusted by front rows anyway!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aboslute **** poor tackling

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Forward af

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Miles forward

 

[ncurd]

WTF was that....
