International Rugby

A great game of rugby that.

[Lastfootstamper]

Forward pass? Anybody? No?

[nigel]

Don’t think Scotland are going to implode today.
Wales are obviously saving themselves for England

[PaulWinch again]

In the second half Russell has been outstanding.

[nigel]

Great try for Scotland.

In the second half Russell has been outstanding.

He's been the best 10 in Europe for a few years and the rest of the scottish backline has caught on to it now.

The whole team is setup to create space for him now.

[nigel]

Another try
The Welsh all seemed to have eyes on VdM so the miss pass was easy

[nigel]

Just seen the Lowe try again, and again.
Brilliant finish that deserved to be a try, but the more I see it the more convinced I am that his foot touched the ground before the ball.
Even he grimaced when he saw the footage from behind.

They are in with a real shout of the World Cup this time

[nigel]

How flippin’ good is Jack Willis?

[nigel]

Great stuff from England.

We look to have, at last, a proper 12/13 partnership in Lawrence and Slade.
Farrell is back in his best position and showing he’s probably our best 10

[nigel]

Jamie George 100% line out

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah it was a bit stodgy, but Italy have much more about them now and given that England are building from scratch it’s a decent result.

I suspected his foot was out at the time and having seen the photos today it very likely was, so got away with one there.

As for the World Cup, we'll f*ck it up, we always do. I'm expecting us to go out in the quarters to either New Zealand or France and maintain our record of never getting to a semi-final. Anything else is a bonus but we'd have a decent shot of making the final if we got through that one.

I found Farrell constantly kicking away possession in the Italian 22 quite tedious to be honest

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah it feels like it’s a specific tactic, which is odd.
