    Oh yeah.

    Ireland won as well.

    Makes Round 4 interesting. Scotland with tails up against England. Wales with some revenge on their minds at home to Ireland.

    Huge pressure on the Scots to prove they can string results together after year upon fucken miserable year of one gutsy effort preceding a limp wristed shithouse one.

    The team is looking good and the back three is as good as any going round. Weakness in the front row but both Grays should have booked a spot here mid year at the very least along with Hogg ( surely the Lions test fullback ), maybe Seymour and Laidlaw.

    France as rudderless as they have been for the last few years. It's just individual efforts all over the park with players lacking some basic skills. The number of bombed offloads yesterday that were caused by the awful support lines of the French were enough to make the teams from the 80s ashamed to have been watching.

    And my pet peeve Sébastien Vahaamahina, it doesn't matter that you are 126kg if you can't take a hit up while moving, get the fuck out of the channel. I want both him and the half back fined every time they link up. It's dumb dumb dumb rugby. But it's their go to forward move for crashing slow ball.

    @mooshld Agreed. And every time they spread the ball I kept thinking they would fuck it up, and they usually would with poor offloading or passes like you said . The forwards are unfit and looked spent just before half time

    I see the English media is already talking about England likely getting 9 or 10 points from their next two games but not likely to be enough to win the title before they play Ireland in Round 5.

    Presumably Scotland might have something to say about that...

    What's the BP rule being used? $ tries or more than 3 tries different?

    Italy hold England to 0-0 after quarter of the game. England looking very flat and uninterested. I expect Eddie will give them a half time rev up for playing at only 68.94% potential

    England backline finally get good ball on the 22 and look like they just met before the game.
    Hartley going nuts because Italy are purposely not forming rucks then making the most of having no offside line. England too used to the training ground drills and can't work out what to do...

    Finally though they use brute force to pile over the line from a maul

    Kick to come... Farrell misses (0/3 at the moment)

    5-0

    @Crucial commentators also bemused by the "tackle only" tactics... finally got their heads around it and taking GREAT pains to explain it to the vauntedly "rugby smart" public.

    Italy camped in Englands corner but not able to get over.

    Hartley still getting the law explained to him

    'I understand your frustration, but those are the laws'
    "What are we meant to do?"
    "I'm the ref not your coach'

    😆

    Has Hartley ever read the Law book?

    Wonderful break, Italy! Cynically killed by Hughes on England's 22, in exchange for a penalty kick. Missed! Try off the posts, great following up!

    Italy with kick in front just on halftime that hits the post, is regathered and they score a try instead!

    10-5 to Italy

    Bookies will be happy. Eddie will be furious
