Good response from England, some really good initiative and decision making there

Wasn’t so much burned as decided he didn’t want to tackle like an amateur era winger

He really has. As I’ve said before, I though he was 10 of the tournament a couple of years ago but has been very average since

A Game of rugby trying to break out but England determined to prevent that kind of thing.

Good 12 play, hopefully he keeps it up to stake his claim long term,

Playing (occasionally) for anti-rugby Montpellier won't have helped. Maybe the move to Toulon might see a reversal of the decline.

I'm really struggling to see how the commentators are praising the quality of the game. It's been largely very flat with a couple of quality plays but a lot of defensive errors.

Entertaining half. Smith is ludicrously out of his depth at 15 in defence, move him to the wing, Freeman to 13 and Daly back to full back second half. Both Italian tries come from non existent backfield defence. Suspect England will tighten this game up in the second half

To counter that, I've always hated the fact that you can effectively have blockers in front of the ball carrier which is a nonsense and so if you are dumb enough to carry at the front, then you risk what you describe.

ITV are completely delusional when it comes to England, guess it must be an editorial decision

How he didn't show the angle of the Italian player coming round and tackling earl at the back, I don't know. Well, I can guess, but that was just a dire call from everyone but the AR who did his best to point out that it was a terrible call.

Smith (M) makes a try saving tackle, I question whether the mushrooms I had for lunch really were from Tesco, and then he produces a superb piece of attack alongside Stuart to secure a bonus point. All happening
