[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 3: England vs Italy (26/02/2017)

[Every Time Ref]

After all this non-ruck ******** it's nicely refreshing to concede a try through good old-fashioned missed tackles!

 

[Groundhog]

Campagnaro is a truly lovely player to watch. That step was just murky.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Remember when everyone was blowing each other on here talking about how great a defender ford is

Nope.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

If Campagnaro played for a decent side I reckon he'd be seriously considered as being one of the best 13 in the world. So talented

 

[Jockstap]

Italy would be 8 points ahead if they had even a half decent goal kicker.

 

[j'nuh]

Anyone else's ITV stream being crap?

 

[jordiev]

Mike brown should of done better aswell tbh, Would love to see daly at fullback for england back three of him nowell and watson/may would be dirty to watch.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

How can Italy not kick they are literally a boot.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Exeter are an alright side, certainly decent I think.

 

[die_mole]

@Groundhog you might have a point to look at it from that perspective, although to be honest I'm not sure it makes them look any more viable as a rugby nation, it may just do the opposite.

Still, agree that talking point shouldn't be Italy's tactics so much as England's mental failure to deal with them.

It would make Italy look like evil geniuses and England look like an joke.

 

[McTallshort]

Yes better than Hodgson apparently

 

[ncurd]

Surely that early tackle was a yellow card? Way too cynical in a position that could of led to a try.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Exeter are an alright side, certainly decent I think.

I meant internationally. Why he doesn't start every week for Exeter is a genuine mystery to me.

 

[westernforce]

farrell having a nightmare

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wtf is happening with the kickers?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yes better than Hodgson apparently

I swear to god you have never seen Hodgson play at international level.

 

[Groundhog]

Farrell must be picked for the Lions for his kicking if nothing else.

 

[Jockstap]

WTF is going on with Farrell?

 

[TheSaffycen]

Why not go for the corner? We've scored nearly every chance we've had
