Garbisi really is garbage. Just no idea how to run a backline.

Youngs is truly awful. They have to have somebody better than him.

26mins and Italy look a little knackered.

There seemed to be at least 2 forward passes in that passage

Clearly another knock on in the build up to that try
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

There were only 2 forward passes. We are allowed 3.

Yup. Seems refs are under a directive to ignore any knock ons that result in an England try.

Looks like they're ignoring anything that goes forward then.

I liked how the forwards told him to fuck off in the build up to Hill's try after he hurled it at Farrell's head earlier in the sequence.

Isn't it weird how England don't look clueless when Farrell isn't playing fly half

Against France, Italy played keep ball and multi phase. They did it for 5 mins here, scored a try and then went all Farrell. :wtf:

Ford is playing well, keeping England on the front foot.

We've got at least 4, but Eddie doesn't seem to have any interest in them.

Ford's passing compared to Young or Farrell is a big difference

Garbisi is as bad this week as he was good last. Not helping Italy at all.

Our rust in attack is palpable, but it's nice to see us having a go.

Billy managing a charge down is a collector's item. Good to see him working that hard.

Jesus. This is really dumb now from Italy. Such a low % play and Garbisi coughs up the pen. Half time can't come fast enough for Italy
