No.
In fairness, Lawrence gets passed the ball so he can run into brick walls.

Terrible Italian maul defence. Their #1 either needed to commit to hitting George while exposed or not at all.

Ireland or France would turn him into chutney based on what we've seen so far.

How many touches of the ball do we think OHC has has in international rugby? Can't be many and I don't believe any of them have come from someone passing to him.

Better in some respects. Same in others. Some very pedestrian stuff. Or Dombrandt as it’s other known. High shot on Lawrence missed. Too much kicking to score. Or attempt to score. Better defence. Willis excellent.

I'm willing to allow that last one, as there was a pretty decent chance of a try coming from it. However too mnay of our kicks are where it's going for a 1 in 10 chance of a try, where the other nine results are turning over the ball.

Farrell really is a boring 10 with little imagination. England should be running riot against a duff Italy team who have lost all discipline. FFS get Smith on - the game is already won.

Now I remember why I don't watch the punditry.

That is the crunch. In the game situation and based on relative 10/12/13 performances it HAS to be Smith for Farrell. Any other decision is twisted.

Safer to simply visit family at half time.

Better for my bloody pressure than listening to the studio, and no risk of accidentally agreeing with someone who'd make me question my opinions if I knew they agreed.
