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

[Crash Hamster]

Freeman is brilliant but I don't see what Sleightholme offers above other English options?

Best haircut since Joe Marler.

Knee of the floor, keeps moving forward

Knee on the floor, keeps moving forward

Knee on the floor, keeps moving forward

But penalty to Italy as the ball stripped 14 microseconds after tackle called by Brace far too late.

 

[TommiG88]

No, you had 4 officials all agree it wasn't

You didn’t, as the TMO and assistant said he should look at it.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Yeah good point, there were four people who were wrong.

It’s to early to tell, he’s backed the horse at this point it does no one any favours chopping and changing constantly if in several games time it’s not working then make a call, England are terrible for short term project players and ******* them about.

 

[dirty harry]

Everything Garbisi has touched today has turned to ****, he's been awful

Not being injured?

 

[Crash Hamster]

Best haircut since Joe Marler.

Also, two tries today to date. Both good finishes.

Best haircut since Joe Marler.

Could never understand why people choose those haircuts... absolute lack of taste

 

[Wasps92]

Sick of hearing this twat’s whistle.

 

[curtbob7]

Brace is appalling

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was some shocking individual tackling

 

[Jimbo]

How do you leave that gap, what terrible defense.

How do you leave that gap, what terrible defense.

The sort of thing you'd see in Pro D2...

 

[TommiG88]

Bad 2mins from England. Telegraphed a play through the backs, Fin does a cack kick, JVP then touches it into touch, then no defence

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Give Italy the bp. They're back in a spoon fight.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wtf was that hahaha

Stuttery indecisive carry back into traffic and then immediate sealing off

 

[Wasps92]

Last 15 minutes has been poor from England.

 

[Reiser99]

A better team would have put far more points on us today.

I'm still confused why all Borthwick and Co talks about is attack when clearly defence is the bigger issue. Every game the pundits talk about the problems with England's defence, but never anyone in the setup.

 

[TommiG88]

Give Italy the bp. They're back in a spoon fight.

They should get it
