          Well that was a big knock on by May. And then a double movement for the try.

          The earlier penalty against the Italian tighthead was extremely harsh too, he wasn't the tackler.

                That's a really interesting tactic from the Italian coach, I like it.

                Starts his "weaker" props and subs them at 30 minutes. The idea being that the top props get a ten minute run around and then a good rest before coming out for the second half when they generally score more points.

                  Doesn't that make Tighthead Prop now only the second most opponent position on the team sheet? And reserve Tighthead Prop the most important?

                            Watching with a 10 minute delay, but so far way better from Italy today. Pressuring the England midfield and competing well at the breakdown

                            England handling the kicking game much well and starting to find gaps it Italy's defence.

                            Some dumb mistakes from both sides though, Youngs not having a great game.

                              Jeez, Farrell seems to be making Jonny Sexton look likeable

                                After a controlled and patient start Wales have decided to play like schoolboys

                                Physicality has dropped off, Scottish centres having too much time and space, and Scotland have capitalised.

                                Scotland 17 - 3 Wales

                                  Scotland looking much better than Wales. Hogg is the best back in the British Isles at the minute.

                                    I don’t think Pivac grasps that back line play is about balance and players who complement each other.

                                    Biggar is not the right 10 for Tompkins and Watkin
