    Stuff for England. Too cocky by far. They will go on and win this but a bit of humility wouldn't go astray.

    Italy could have been a further 6/9 ahead if they took their kicking opportunities.

    And England lucky enough to not have seen yellow yet.

    I'd say Jones is having a meltdown in the dressing room.

    Seems like England got so carried away with the notion of bonus points, they forgot they had a game of rugby to play. Doubt very much Italy can keep this up but England are clueless. Jones is probably having a meltdown lol

    I still think Italy are on the way to a decent beating though.

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

    2015 against Scotland iirc - when Italy beat Scotland in Scotland

    Edit - video to that try - well worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnMIi8T8TUE

    This is just fascinating hilarious and inspiring all at once.
    It's delicious being Irish and watching it unfold.

    Great half, Italy were so dominant. With a kicker and better handling at crucial periods they could have 20+ points.

    Really entertaining half of rugby!

    Fully expect England to go on and win by 25-30 points with a BP in the second half but encouraging from our perspective to see English uncertainty in the face of adversity

    Delighted for Eddie Jones, England will probably adjust and go on to win, but that half was enough of a slap in the chops for his disrespect during the week. Its still a test match and somehow hes managed to switch his own team off to it. Good enough for him.

    How have England not had a yellow? Penalty count must be massive. The refs have left their cards at home this 6 nations.

    Yes. But he didnt hold his line. 5 minutes later he gives them an explanation. Poor decision.

    Do Italy stick or twist with the approach. They English had finally figured out how to exploit it down the middle towards the end of the half and will surely be more switched on for the second half.

    Has O Shea got another trick up his sleeve?
