[Six Nations 2018] Round 1: Italy Vs England (04/02/2018)

[ncurd]

Yup even more forward than Care to Watson

 

[TommiG88]

We need to slow the ball down. Our back row are being schooled yet again.

 

[munstermuffin]

Italy look very exciting when attacking

 

[ncurd]

One way to make a debut....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was a class try

George on to crush some fools

 

[TommiG88]

He's got the pace of a back. Would love to see him as our 7.

 

[ncurd]

George getting a real run out 0_0

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Defence out wide has been terrible today

 

[Reiser99]

On the Italian forward pass I called that live and he was standing in front. Pretty poor from the officials there to even think it was fine.

Well done Simmonds, great try.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Simmonds for World Player of the Year/Decade?

 

[Bluemoon]

Ive got to be honest. Thats the third or fourth pen Eng have given in the red zone in this game. Not even a warning!

England clearly the better team, but I think Italia have some cause for complaint.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Try. Pisspoor wide defence again

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's really clearly in touch, why the hell are they awarding that?!

 

[Every Time Ref]

Try. Pisspoor wide defence again

Edit: or rather, pisspoor defence in general to leave that much space wide

 

[Reiser99]

It's not clearly in touch. The problem is too many defensive errors and silly penalties still. England really need to be more disciplined than they have been today.

 

[ncurd]

Sorry Olyy whilst I agree I think he was in touch I dont think it was definitively clear.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

"He jumped into the tackle" should be a penalty against him then...

 

[Every Time Ref]

"He jumped into the tackle" should be a penalty against him then...

Agree

 

[ratsapprentice]

Shouldn't have passed that out wide.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Jack the treacle Nowell on.
