    Great stuff by Italy. Can see this championship coming down to points difference so the closer this is the better

    Italy playing fairly well.

    I thought Watson was comfortably the best outside back on the Lions tour and he has been sensational every time I've seen him since at every level.

    Hartley is squint on line outs, he stands in the English side of it and the ball goes straight from his hands. That camera angle really showed it.

    Muscular dystrophy. And it's for the charity he helps as well as the young boy.

    ITV calling Italy out on shuffling at the line out.

    Italy have a lot of territory and possession, the problem is that England have cut through them like a hot knife through butter any time they've had a sniff.

    No way England were back on the line from the quick tap penalty. Missed by ref and TJ

    Still irrelevant / unnecessary

    Italy midfield defence is a shambles. Aki could do serious damage there next week

    Yeah, that looked dodge to me on first viewing. If it was indeed the case then it was a stone cold yellow.

    Someone tell Itoje you can't charge a penalty.

    Great stuff from Italy. Not playing like a team ranked 13th in the world.

    Still expect England to cut loose later in the 2nd half though.

    Good first half from Italy, but you still feel like England will score at least another 2-3 tries and pull away.

    Kicked straight out, does that not mean they need to take the lineout?

    Irrelevant to you. Talk about being miserable, what difference does it make to you?
