It's to be expected given the lack of understanding/combinations tbf.

Though that said, even if they get 5 or 6 tests in a row together, I don't think anyone will be scared of a Farrell, Lawrence and Slade midfield.

The only thing he has in his game as well.

Italy haven't done their analysis on Mitchell.

Did the laws change in the last 24hrs that the team with the put in is allowed a full 8 man shove before the ball is in?

Apart from the scrums and that one Willis turnover, the Ref has been right. Italy playing some stupid rugby and not able to live with the intensity of England's rush defence ...

Think he just went high on Jelonche to try and make the tackle while also stopping the offload, when in hindsight he should have just focused on bringing the man down.
