Six Nations 2017

Italy forgetting how to tackle

[Derm McCrum]

Italy went down to 14/1 to win the game at half-time, they're now out to 80/1.

Edit - make that 100/1...

[Crucial]

Itoje doesn't know the laws either. Picks the ball up while lying in the ruck

[Crucial]

17-15 at the 3/4 mark!

Kick to come

[Crucial]

Ford showed his 'great' defence on that try

Kick sliced. 17-15 England.

Did Eddie Jones really say last week that England plan to put a cricket score on Italy?

No, he just invited Alistair Cook to training

Still, what fucks me off is that these terrible games they have don't result in a loss.

Flatman you mong. "I don't think you can go at the ball feet first if it's in the field of play"

What?

Haven't you heard? in an attempt to differentiate rugby from soccer, they're banning kicking.

[Crucial]

That was the ugliest execution of a 5 man overlap I've ever seen.

How has this side won so many games in a row?

[Crucial]

22-15, still in range

9 minutes to go

[Crucial]

Now they stroll one in after Italy go to sleep. That's the game

[Crucial]

29-15

[Kruse]

And another... optimistic hat... the english will look at the scoreline, forget they were terrible, not learn any lessons (like reading the laws)

[Crucial]

England a different side with George on instead on Hartley.

A last minute try to blow the score out to something that doesn't reflect how well Italy played/how poor England were

36-15

[Crucial]

I wonder if Gatland will take Hartley to NZ?

To 'drop' him before Eddie does would be disruptive to the team feeling from the England squad members so he's kind of stuck with taking him isn't he?

I take solace in knowing that the Lions are going to get pumped in NZ.

Even 36-15 is not a cricket score.

What's more relevant is the question - would Georgia have managed to play a test like that against England since the world and its mother seems to think they should be playing in the 6/7 Nations with/without relegation?

Not sure? Who is their coach at the moment. Conor O'Shea sure had a shit eating grin on his face for picking a tactic that Eddie hadn't thought of.
Maybe it was his inside knowledge that the England players didn't study the laws
