I was laughing at RWC semi finalists Wales earlier, but this is dire from England.

2 passes, one run. So apart from the try he's touched it once. Rest has been gash kicks.
He's been busy whinging with the ref.

What a shite half of rugby England looked like it was going to be a canter and started showboating.

Just saw it was Youngs who slipped off Polledri like a wet fart.

Not showboating; just completely uninterested in doing anything with ball. Apart from Ben Young’s try, England haven’t tried a single attacking move. All they’ve done is kick it back to the Italians.

Utter Dross. Have Slade or Joseph actually received a pass yet - horrid tactics.

England are never going to look anything but shite with Farrell at 10.

Eddie now has all the excuse he needs to get Youngs to that 150 cap total.

Yep. And the only option to get rid of him at some point this game is to move in Slade or move up Furbank :shock:

Not sure: late and intentional, and quite reckless. Should have been a yellow.

Did I hear correctly before that the commentator called this the greatest championship tournament in the world?

Bit presumptuous is my call. (about 10 football championships ahead of this, also RWC)

Watson going off reminds me of why I hated playing on the right wing on the occasions I was called upon to do so. No fucker could pass off his left hand.

Watson taken off because "he's such a precious asset". No, it's because he's been shite.

How can that be a penalty? It's physically impossible for him to wrap

Absolutely f’in aimless kicking. In the Aus NZ match earlier NZ ran the ball back most of the time. Even May is just bloody kicking it.

Thought the touch judge would see it. Hard for the referee.
