@Bones yeah it's a very Borthwick no-nonsense type of approach. Beat them up in the forwards. Win the collisions. Keep the discipline. Keep it simple Nothing flashy.
Makes you wonder why he tried Smith last week at 10. Much more suited to Farrell at 10.

Probbly the best approach considering only a few months to RWC2023

Yeah but they're not exactly being pressed to try anything. They're succeeding before they even need to try.
Very disappointing Italy after all the hype.

That England jumper really suits playing in London. Looks like they've all been stabbed in the stomach.
Or that someone's on their period.
-
Italy score after half time.
-
After a classic Crowley half-time rev-up, Italy finally on the score sheet.
-
19-7.
-
And it's getting tasty, surprisingly its Ferral.
-
Big hit on Owen Farrell. Beautiful.
-
Nothing wrong with that tackle.
-
Whose the biggest fluffybunny Feral or Itoje?
-
Padovani has done well today in a back-peddling defence.
-
Penalty try.
-
Penalty try??? Terrible decision.

I think it would be fair - if he'd awarded the one down the other end. Less blatant infraction but probably just as telling.
