    This scoreline is flattering to England. Italy should have kept it much tighter even with all the injuries.

    The tiring happened mentally with the intercept.

    We are going to get destroyed by England if we let me run at us from a broken field situation.
    Joseph incredible again.

    I always am suspicious about dubious MOTM awards. There's a significant betting market for it and the decision usually rests with a pre-determined co-commentator with the host broadcaster.

    There's nothing to stop them telling their mate to put a lump on 2 or 3 players and, whichever has the best game, will get the nod which should result in a nice profit.

    I don't doubt you, but I won't go that far.

    I will say that I hope youngs plays against us, he is pedestrian at best

    Thought the same myself when I heard it. Even if you take away and gambling links, you have the possibility of trying to give it a club mate (Kay at Leicester), a possible client if they're in that aspect of the game or just awarding it for lolz like Corrigan did at Thomand Park years ago.
    When you have vans voting you get Launchbury vs Australia scenario, no ideal way of doing it, just nod the head and move on really.

    Even the studio are completely incredulous about the MOTM choice. "Off the wall" according to EOS about the decision.

    Did Youngs not score or make tries against the last two times we played?

    To extend last week's metaphor, this week I found out instead of the package I'd been hoping for, I got some action movie sequel; slow and ropey intro, lots of explosions at the end, just like the one before that and the one before that and I ended up kinda rooting for the villains as they were more fun.

    Don't be harsh on yourself. Your bench was excellent. The new lad itoje hit a mountain of rucks, care was excellent and George gave an offload to make SBW drool.

    Your 10/12 is not working though nor is you starting loose forward trio balanced.
