Englands back row and midfield compositions still horribly wrong, nothing changed from last week and nothing will until these areas get addressed. Looks like we're gonna be waiting a while for the brave new era. when does Jones ACTUALLY take control

I agree, they were much more organised when the Scotsman was in charge.

The more changes England have made the better theyve looked against a tiring Itlay side. Forwards off the bench have brought a far more dynamic approach resulting in quicker ball and far more opportunities. If Robshaw starts the next game......

Oh and Joseph has been excellent, still think needs a proper 12 to play off against the better sides though

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Is it just me or has the scoreline flattered England especially on that first half showing

 

[Fish]

Italy just ran out of ideas and steam, lots of desire but they just lack a strength in depth of quality, but I'm sure you know you've been up against them irrelevant of the score line

The changes have made a big difference - George is streets ahead of Hartley , Itojde should be in there

Enjoyed the second half. Lots of positives

Do you have 2 TV screens on at the same time then, or did the rugby take precedence over Loonypool, where does your loyalty lie, does it depend on the position of your armchair 😂😂

England clinical in the end, the intercept try really deflated Italy.

 

[GB72]

Italy are no mugs for 40-50 minutes and most teams are run close over the first half. Sub's looked good and I would not be surprised to see Itoje start and maybe Clifford as well. Pity he had another slight injury as Manu was due back for the next game.

Tuilagi and Joseph in the middle would be great to see

Got to start with at least one of Clifford or Itoje - haven't really seen much of Clifford but looked very sharp

no only saw the 2 from NZ this am will try and find some highlights in a bit (anything to save me from watching the rest of this dirge)

 

[Val]

Better second half, first half was honking

 

[fundy]

Better but not by a lot. Can count on one hand the times either side strung 4 passes together. Horror approach from the French, Barnes not helped either.

 

[upsidedown]

Been fairly poor, best bit was the bickering between Moore and Jiffy Will be up early for Crusaders game :thup:
