Carlsberg don't do Italy vs England games, but if they did.....

This is terrific. Surprised England haven't seen a card here.

This has been 40 of the most entertaining minutes of rugby this tournament.

England showing absolutely no ingenuity.

TRY OMG YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

This is amazing.

Stheno · 26-02-2017 04:47PM

OMFG this is mental.

Try Italy

dublinman1990 · 26-02-2017 04:47PM

Holy ****e. A try for Italy. I didn't see that coming at all.

Nicely played.

Clegg · 26-02-2017 04:47PM

That try encapsulates England's half.

Not switched on at all.

26-02-2017 04:47PM

Holy **** balls!!!

G'wan italy

thomond2006 · 26-02-2017 04:47PM

When it's not your day.

England were -44 with some bookies. Amazing.

If .ak is reading this please revise your views of Nathan Hughes. He has been absolutely woeful.

England better than nz my arse.

This is comedy gold so far.

razorblunt · 26-02-2017 04:47PM

I fúcking love a penalty chase try. If that guy is on a try bonus, I'd triple it.

sligeach · 26-02-2017 04:47PM

Hilarious!

Fully deserved.

vienne86 · 26-02-2017 04:47PM

That was a bloody brilliant half of rugby!

Sarn · 26-02-2017 04:48PM

Fantastic!

Peregrine · 26-02-2017 04:48PM

Didn't something similar happen after Haimona hit the posts a few years ago?

The Rape of Lucretia · 26-02-2017 04:48PM

O Italia mia bella !

D14Rugby · 26-02-2017 04:48PM

Love a good trick play

snowflaker · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

To quote the kids-that half gave me life!!!

thomond2006 · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have just joined us.

sydthebeat · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

Best assist ever !

rebel girl 15 · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

6 English blokes stood looking at the ball as it came off the post

ednwireland · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

Ffs England they don't seem to know what to do out there

vienne86 · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

Heaven help anyone who went out today and decided not to watch this match because it was a foregone conclusion.

Well done Conor O'Shea!

Well it happened to Leinster in 2011 in semi final against Toulouse. That was my first thought

bilston · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

Ah lads its the hope that kills you. I think we all know how this story will end but Italy definitely deserve this so far.

England will still get the BP win but their PD/tries scored isn't going to be what they thought it would be after this game.

swiwi_ · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

I wasn't going to watch this game.

But regardless of the final result rugby101 "laws of the game" has been D- for England.

All brawn and no brain.

ScrubsfanChris · 26-02-2017 04:49PM

England will probably still go on and win this but they'll have to answer for that first half performance.
Big credit to Italy and O'Shea though, to come back from that performance against Ireland and go away with a half time Twickenham lead any team in the world would be happy with.

26-02-2017 04:50PM

15 players are about to emerge for the second half, each with two of their own buttholes.

gazump123 · 26-02-2017 04:50PM

You couldn't make this up.

thomond2006 · 26-02-2017 04:50PM

If Italy did somehow win, this would be a Japan/SA level of upset.
England were 1/200 to win. 1/200.

Larbre34 · 26-02-2017 04:50PM

So we can assume the two missed penalties were actually aiming for the uprights to gain the try assist! He got his eye in in the end!!

England vs Italy.
