Re: Official Italy v England thread

Mitchell was held by the ankle there for me. Yes, surprised that wasn't looked at again. Ref had a close view though. Yeah. Poor miss from the TMO too. Italy have to be sharper there too. You just know the All Blacks or Ireland would be politely in the ref's ear saying he was held to prompt them to...

Re: Official Italy v England thread

Now just to lock the England dressing room and misplace the key 2nd half will be all about the Italian teams mentality. They can win this on the pitch but not sure they can in their heads 100% this. They have the ability and skill, they just need the belief. Yeah I've always thought our biggest pro...

Re: Official Italy v England thread

Great try. England really are fucking horrible to watch Oh I don't know. I'm enjoying watching them right now. 😂 They have a few players that can really make some dents but ever time there seems a bit of momentum they slow it down, set the train up and kick it. So frustrating to watch Let's hope th...

It's pretty lame that the first two games clash with the senior Ireland - France match and also nonsensical. A great way to minimise the audience. Only just spotted that myself.
