Really enjoyed the Italy Ireland game, genuinely felt like Italy could have pulled out a shock result at moments. So great to see Italy perform after years of suggestions they don't deserve to be part of the 6 nations.
England and Wales - two teams devoid of any creativity. Awful game to watch.
Yep, frustrating. I'm happy with the result, but that was really dire to watch for the most part. I get the tactical kicking from deep in your own half, but England give away the ball with 50:50 kicks so regularly on the attack when there just isn't a need. Add in the fact that Farrell seems to be unable to score consistent points from the tee when wearing an England shirt. Most other primary kickers at the top end of International rugby can be relied upon to score 2/3 points near enough every time they take a kick. Yet it feels like a coin toss right now with Faz.
The game broke up quite a bit in the last quarter, seemed like a good time to bring on some fast attacking options in Mitchell, Smith and Arundell - but they instead get left on the bench until the end of the game with no time to make an impact. With what will probably be the 2 toughest games of the competition for England coming up next, we've now got a bunch of well rated subs who've got minimal play time in an England shirt. I don't get it.
