Team for Italy

[Mellsblue]

Kick after boring kick. Might support the French.

[Banquo]

chessum is natural born intl...lovely smooth line out ball

[Mellsblue]

looks a better FH than centre, strangely.

Does he though? I'll agree that Lawrence is a better centre than Smith was, but has Farrell been better this week than last, ball in hand?

Puja

Difficult to really know given 90% of the time all his hand does is drop the ball towards his foot.

[Banquo]

dombrandt maddening

[Epaminondas Pules]

How is Dombrandt an international rugby player?

[Mellsblue]

Itoje!! The threat of the bench works again.

[Puja]

Dombrandt has been very poor, again.

Puja

[Banquo]

ohhhh ollie...

[Banquo]

running 12. remarkable

[TheNomad]

Still don’t see what anyone sees in Farrell

We’ve been a bit conservative since the Try. Would have liked to see us attack a bit more, ball in hand. They’re down to 14 after all

[Mellsblue]

ohhhh ollie...

Can only assume he was attempting a grubber…

[morepork]

why is Farrell still on???

[Banquo]

earl...slow off the scrum then fucking kabadi

[Puja]

STOP KICKING IT!

Are we ever going to pass to Arundell?

Puja

[Puja]

I feel like I should, as the originator of the acronym, point out that it's KADAB, not KABAD.

Puja

[Galfon]

Great tackling exhibits by Earle.then soft try conceded.
Cole & Mako bit static.

Leader, test match animal, ice man and other things way down the list of requirements of a flyhalf.

[Puja]

Walker must've been thinking he was bound to get on this week, with England 19 points up and the game wrapped up.

Puja

[Mellsblue]

Mako is going to have to actually get in shape at this point in his career or I reckon he’s done at test level.

[Banquo]

Puja

its a kabaddi reference

we have gone all stupid here.

[Mr Mwenda]

Is this any better than the autumn?

[Puja]

Ludlam binding at 8 this week. Odd considering Earl went there against Scotland.

Puja

[Banquo]

nice. Mitchell will be dropped for not kicking

[Danno]

Is this any better than the autumn?

No.

Well, Youngs is at home and nice to see some new faces. But I'm still not enjoying watching us play.

And now we've got more midfield fuckery.

[Puja]

Oh, look, we actually did the passing and running thing.
