    Has to be a yellow card now.

    Should be a try.

    Brown high tackle. Penalty try surely

    So close, marginally out.

    England slowing down every ruck though. Itoje was just laying on the ball at the last ruck, took #9 about 30 seconds to dig the ball out.

    Have to say, knee was definitely in touch before he grounded it.

    But Italy are really putting it up to England here.

    They seemed too focused on the touchline to notice the tackle...

    Italy been their own worst enemies again here. The BP try for England was a lesson in how not to play international rugby. The Italian lineout continues to be a shambles in attack and defence.

    Try being given saved England there - would have been a yellow for the maul infringements otherwise

    England certainly getting some luck from the ref.

    What 5 penalties at least within a few meters of their own goal line? They need to improve massively before they play anyone else.

    If Itoje jumped into the tackle is that not a penalty to Italy?

    Robshaw was nowhere near supporting himself there.

    England did that exact thing in the maul to Italy twice in the first half, not penalised.

    Bizarre that Italy get a warning before England really.

    Itoje grabbing Parisse in the air at that last line-out...

    Brilliantly Parisse.

    Arrogance from England, the penalty would have put the, 15 in front with almost 10 mins left.


    Doesn’t matter, they’ve scored now.

    Raynal very harsh on italy. England gave away 4 or 5 penalties within 10m of their own line and no warning

    Why do referees seem completely reluctant to penalise Itoje?

    Killeen the ball by his own line, all over Parisse at the line out and nothing said.

    Can feel my blood pressure rise just slightly every time Quinlan says "Vunipolo".

    That was quick for England. Try #7 for them.

    Grandad here with my usual gripe about the line out. At 30:30, the ref tells Ghiraldini to stay in the middle but as soon as he turns round the hooker takes a step to the right and throws the ball over his own team. It’s obvious, the commentators see it and yet the touch judge does nothing.
