Is that not a double movement?

Italian offered his hand to help him off the ground and itoje just took his away. Hate to see that

Yeah, I noticed the Italian offering the help and the obnoxious behaviour from Itoje. He's a great player but seems like an arsehole.

That looked short to me...

they probably purposely made that advertizement line confusing so something like that might happen and they get extra advertisement

Surely it was a double movement?

think that’s at least 4 dangerous tackles in 6 minutes from England

Looked like Itoje hit the scrum half in the head, no mitigating factor, and should the head knock not have been a penalty

ITV trying to make a big deal out of TMO usage.

The ref should use the tmo more

It’s absolutely brain dead having a fûcking advertisement painted right up ON the fûcking try line... clearly confusing the ref. You’d want to be a moron to sign that off as being ok. Valuing the wants and whims of the sponsor ahead of the sport.

If I’m the referee and on inspection of the pitch, I’d be demanding the whole thing is painted out.

TomsOnTheRoof

I hate seeing that with mauls. If a player is slipping forward and in an offside position it should be a penalty. They are interfering illegally and any subsequent mistake is being influenced by foul play.

Brain dead or genius? It's not the Italians that are suffering for it...

Yea, refs have been letting defenders swim up the sides far too much lately.

Absolutely, telling the player to get out, doesn't move then gives the scrum. I don't understand

It just really hard to understand the logic of it. If that's a player causing a knock on because they aren't rolling away it's a penalty. Bizarre.

Second try that Italy have been caught with no pillar defender.

KaneToad

Italy are really poor defensively. Two of the softest tries you'll ever seen given on a plate to England.

Eod100

England get the try bonus so 18 match points as expected, 15 points difference plus whatever they finish with here. Hopefully Italy take some points back.

ninebeanrows

Was always likely they get a BP, hopefully they dont open up here.

No more than 7pts more please

swiwi_

Reckon the Italian backs could stand a bit deeper on attack...

AbusesToilets

italy need to kick behind the english defense, chip or grubber. England just sprinting up every time

ScrubsfanChris

And we've reached the point of the game where Italy give up as usual.

TomsOnTheRoof

I'd love to see that again. Def looked offside at the kick.

That there too was just a limp effort at defending your try line. The Italian team from about the 65th minute were looking tired. Set piece went to shît, lineout and scrum.

ninebeanrows

FT ASAP please! No more points please

Eod100

Think it would nearly be easier to get 4 tries than not have to but having to win by 10/15 points say. Would only need 7 as it stands but time yet for England to score again

Strumms

Dumb turnover by the Italians, hope it doesn’t cost us.

Akrasia

ITV commentators saying France out of contention.. maths not their strong point

ninebeanrows

1 last break away try for England maybe ?

Strumms

That looked forward

Akrasia
