Eng vs. Ita - Match Thread

[Galfon]

Let's go..hope it's worthwhile.

[Galfon]

Pity - Curry close for run at line after athletic Coka leap.

[Galfon]

Ridiculous by Faz.line begging.

[Peej]

Well that was a shambles from Youngs and Farrell

[16th man]

4 or 5 on 3 10 metres out, of course he kicks it.

[16th man]

Good christ Youngs.

[morepork]

Jesus christ, every attacking option is a kick. From 5 metres out, with extra men.

[Galfon]

Butchered 2 chances so far..6 mins.
Even the no.8 has discovered kick-aheads.

[Galfon]

More like it
Try George from line-out drive
Faz con.
7 - 0 after 9 mins.

[morepork]

Fucking Italy. What is this, a charity match?

[Galfon]

Great try Allen after lively spell by Ita - best rugby of the game so far.Morisi making yards too.
Con Allen.
7 - 7 after 13 mins

[morepork]

Look at the difference at 9 and 10 between the two teams. Man.

[JellyHead]

I'm not getting our defence. Drift and drop off. Does nothing but cough up meters.

[Galfon]

Try May in corner.
Con.Faz
14 - 7 after 16 mins.

[morepork]

Too much pace, but weak from Italy.

[Galfon]

Genge batters the ball carrier..good show.Pen. earned.

[Mr Mwenda]

Shields kills a good position with a stupid offload attempt, take a shot.

[Scrumhead]

So Shields so far ... a forward pass 5m out and a crappy (and unnecessary) offload from the floor ...

[Scrumhead]

great minds ...

[Galfon]

Manu's back!..bouncy-bouncy all the way to line with step./fend.
Faz con.
21 - 7 after 22 mins.

[morepork]

Esposito needs yanking.

[Mr Mwenda]

great minds ...

... Or fools seldom differ....

[Galfon]

Faz plays cautious..
Pen after 25 min
24 - 7 .

[Scrumhead]

Why kick the points there? Our scrum has looked dominant so why not go for the try?

[Banquo]

Nice ball in hand generally. Defence out wide terrible- Teo notably
