    The commentator on tv3 is so annoying. Annoying accent, voice and commentary

    Have to say I love John Forrest on the commentary. He was very animated during his schools cup commentating days on Setanta Sports and he’s carried that through to TV3

    If Esposito can't make a tackle he needs to be hooked.

    Exactly how many trys are England going to score?

    Would have said 7/8 before ko. Since they have 3 already in 20 that could be conservative guess!

    The Italian 15 was defending in the line leaving no one in the backfield.
    What kind of defence system is that?

    That was just way too easy. Could get very ugly for Italy.

    He's cost them 14 points.
    Every tackle he makes the player gets away.

    Italy should really just recruit a rake of islanders

    A ruthless coach would take him off now.

    Absolutely shocking from Italy. Schoolboy standard tackling.

    Bonus after 32 minutes. England showing us just how laboured we were. God help Italy.

    I thought Cockansiga knocked it on then George played it and knocked it again so penalty Italy.

    Italy are a home / away team. Wales struggled same as us and Wales beat England.

    We were better against Scotland given the injuries Scotland suffered today.

    Italy at least are competitive in the Stadio. I fancy them to push France next week.

    Most points scored by a team and biggest winning margin was England 80 - 23 Italy from 2001.

    Dunno. According to live feed on rte website, England are playing Wales.

    That said didn't we get a tbp in 1st half in Rome in 2017 iirc?

    Wales will be glad of those GS bonus points if they beat us without a tbp.

    England could finish on 20 with a better PD than Wales.
