Mister Chief posted:I'm not watching. What's happening? Essentially Italy are not competing at thr tackle so there aren't any rucks, which means no offside. England are playing as if it is a ruck and are confused by the Italians standing where ever they like.

Jones will have walked England through how to deal with it so I'm expecting Italy to form rucks like normal this half.

They'll have to, they'll have been told how to exploit the space now so it shouldn't work any more.

There you go. Pick the sodding ball up and run with it. This is why you usually defend rucks

When England want to play expansive rugby they can be so good, shame it took Italy doing bizarro tactics to get them to do it.

The thing is, it took these "international quality", professional players more than 40 minutes to work out how to handle some basic playing to the rules. And the solution was "keep the tempo up and run it at them with the big men". This does not speak well for their knowledge of the game.

Did the Italians just forget that they're supposed to protect the ball at their own rucks?

Now Italy are desperately trying to remember what a ruck is. This is the best/worst game ever.

I don't know how Poite could even think about going to the TMO there considering he blew it up before the English player touched it down.

I'm counting the days till I see Owen Farrell's rape eyes staring at me from the front page of a newspaper when they finally find the bodies in the garage he owns and only goes to in the middle of the night.
