Why a horrible kick. Fair play to Italy for nailing the England cock up so well though

Do we really want to win the Six Nations? We've been awful today.

So Italy out score England in terms of tries at Twickenham - this game has raised a lot of questions. I wonder if Wales maybe favourites now?

Italy deserve much praise for that performance. England don't deserve the win.

England are fortunate to be still in with a chance of a Grand Slam. Have to fancy Wales to beat them

This is a very average England team (not that it is a particularly good 6 Nations either).

Wonder if Rob Howley was watcing that flowing rugby from Italy today. Do hope he was, and manages to work out how they did it.
Tip to Howley ..... reopetitive and quick ball from the breakdown which should mean that Hook and Williams should play at half back. Was pleased to read in the press today that the great JPR is of the same opinion.

Not the best of performances - a bit complacent/one eye on next week maybe?

Just to divert from the six nations for a while, did anyone see the documentary about Barry John? It's on BBC I player at the moment. Very poignant to see where he is now, but some of the footage of him in his prime was extraordinary.

It's BOD. I don't think he's ever played an international where some part of him wasn't bleeding.
Therefore it was very different from that other occasion with Quins. I may be wrong but it seemed that the poster was implying an equivalency (I took the number of posts on the same topic as a clue!!!). |

Inverdale: 'It could be a long 40 minutes for the Italians'.
![]() Inverdale can be so patronising and partisan. It is as if they assume England are still only in first gear. |

![]() A great player of his time, would love to see how he would be able to overcome the more physical game it is now. Although his ball skills, side step and agility would be a dream to watch today. Shame that the game was an amateur sport, and from the programme I gathered he gave up the game to see more of his familiy, and earn some money, as a media reporter. How times have changed! |
