    Wales are playing with a lot of confidence. They were under severe pressure in that second half but didn't buckle when Scotland we're making line breaks and getting close to their line. They were confident in their defence and didn't make silly mistakes.

    Big contrast with Ireland who look very shaky when things start going against them.

    I don't think they'll get the bonus, here's hoping, if they kick to Hayward it won't go well for them

    Italians with the best lineout rate so far, hope they cause the English all sorts of bother there.

    Never a pen for England. Cokanasinga never released the tackle them bellyflopped all over the ball.

    The casualness of the commentary for Italy's try there as if they thought they couldn't possibly score.
    It's like watching a fan channel.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
