Yes, surprised that wasn't looked at again. Ref had a close view though.

Yeah. Poor miss from the TMO too.

Italy have to be sharper there too. You just know the All Blacks or Ireland would be politely in the ref's ear saying he was held to prompt them to check

WTF was that crossfield kick to fuck all?

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:28 pm**

If Henry Slade spot rushing is part of Felix's defensive plan, can we fire him now?

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:32 pm**

55 mins without an Italian high shot. Good to see.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:36 pm**

Got away with that set of balls ups in defence.

And that would work for them since the ref is probably on first name terms with them, not the case for Italian captains

It's the Ref's miss at the end of the day, but if they are in the his ear after that's absolutely getting looked at. No first names required

Daly couldn’t step a park bench.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:45 pm**

Can anyone tell me what the point of Daly is?

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:46 pm**

17-27 England
66 mins

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:48 pm**

Not as much as I'd hoped, but 15 minutes of Finn Smith will hopefully be good.

Blimey, Cunningham-South is a big lad.

Spagnolo on his debut wins a pen off Cole, good start

Italian pack lost all cohesion, England just knocking them back.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:54 pm**

Italy play so frustrating. Should move it wide not taking England o physical

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:56 pm**

Daly tripped him there.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:56 pm**

Ah Daly you useless shitweasel.

Yep. Perfect end to a perfect game for Daly

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:56 pm**

What was that for?

That was a trip??

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:57 pm**

Yeah very deliberate trip. What is the point of Daly? Tries hard in the air but doesn't win many, lacks any pace these days, and is a bit of a liability. Really odd selection, his boot can't be enough to keep him in the side.

Yes, he very clearly stuck his boot out when he knew he was beaten. Blatant and deserved the card.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:58 pm**

We best not see him again. Been a long time since he's actually had worthwhile England game.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:58 pm**

Utterly brain dead

It's a slightly odd choice, I reckon the official starts have been giving him some of Earl's carries. He was anonymous for the first 20 or so but played well after that, just don't think he was as good as Earl or Freeman.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 4:04 pm**

Just finish this shite

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 4:04 pm**

Why not let Smith have a pot at the posts to get him some points under his belt?

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 4:06 pm**

Che senso ha? Asks the commentary, it's a question I often ask myself when watching Italy

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 4:08 pm**

Dismal.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 4:09 pm**

Ben Kay making an incomplete tackle sound like world class play by Roots there

Italy deserve that, very even game.

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 4:09 pm**

Moral victors!

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 4:09 pm**

That's a very disappointing finish. Failing to use a succession of penalties to score and then actually conceding.
