'For what ever reason Stuart is off for tactical reasons'

Its on account of him being military medium at best mate.

EQP tightheads in the Prem are both rare and most of the few there are simply aren't good enough to step up beyond Prem level.
Will Collier deserves a go (beyond the two caps I think he has from a Lions time Argentina tour).

Done with this. Not sure why I even bother watching Italy outside of the French games now.

Smith even making Daley look good again.

It's entertaining enough. If it was Farell and England forwards just pick and driving to 28-0 I'd agree, but this kind of rugby is not boring to watch at least.

Look how fast Randall got the ball to Smith for that try. Not a step in sight.

Got to think Randall will start the next game.

No. He needs to pause and think a bit more. Oh and then kick because for some strange reason all the gaps have closed up.

He's definitely a good scrummager, but is he going to get around the field as required at this level?

Should definitely be given more of a look to find out.

Look, he played well, but he hasn't got the experience yet.

You could bet your house that if an Italian player had just done what Marchant did it would have been a yellow. It should have been

I thought it was quite unlucky. The ball was out. I agree though, Italy player would have been given a yellow. But they have already given away more penalties I guess.

To cripple England the way Eddie likes. I noticed also Daly stayed on the wing and marchant at 13 when Nowell went off. We have Dombrandt at 8 as well. I actually feel sorry for Italy having to play an England team that Eddie hasn't crippled.

Don't worry, he's just brought on Youngs in a not at all planned substitution. :bimbo:

What the fuck is the point in bringing Youngs on at this juncture (or at all...)?

We need more box kicks.

It really does my head in - there is just no point in bringing Youngs on - it's abject stupidity from Eddie.

Bit unfair lads. 113 cap Youngs needs to get used to the pace of international rugby and get to know his team mates better.

And his first two contributions are a ball Smith takes above his head and a knock on.

1st pass beautifully placed above Smith's head and placed to check his momentum. Then a knock on.

Ben brings a particular Energy to the team..... Entropy

Entropy is a scientific concept as well as a measurable physical property that is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.

Speaking about pace. I watched Sarries quins earlier and noted how fast Lynagh and Lewington were compared to say Nowell.

Kieran Brooks and Paul Hill both looked promising until northamponed.

HenryThomas looked tidy for bath until injury.

Who else is on list of not quites?
