    it should revert to the five nations, Italy is a joke and the games 9 out of 10 are a waste of time .. good day out in Rome for their home games though .. and that's all can be said for them
    perhaps a Division 2 is called for with Italy, Romania, Georgia and (say) Russia and Spain or Portugal .. problem there is though that Italy would probably walk over that lot every year

    Agree. To be fair, they are improving and held their own in the first half today. But ultimately, they aren't very good and will always be the whipping boys.

    pity about the commentary .. two Welsh 'patriots' and spluttering Brian Moore .. England should win this .. must keep their discipline and cut out the penalties

    Indeed, thought we would concede from that move

    Crap, that was inevitable the way it's going.

    I was in Cardiff last season for our game down there .. it was the same weekend when Wales beat us in the RU World Cup .. fair play to the Welsh, I had great craic with some of their lads .. they are generally passionate and one eyed but still retain humour and a sense of what's 'just' .. bad weekend though, we lost the football and the rugby ((:<)

    Eddie Jones needs to earn his corn at half time

    fair play to Jones for sticking by his players .. but Itoje is not a back row player (yet?) .. presumably Clifford came in for Wood because Haskell can't do the 80 minutes ,, we need another specialist on in the back row and Itoje back in the 2nd .. Joe Launchberry hasn't look fit the past 2 games and should give way .. T'eo for Joseph could be a goer as well

    We'll have to agree to disagree re Launchbury, today anyway. He has got through a phenomenal amount of work.

    England did well to win that and well done Launchbury as well deserved man of the match.

    Massive result and cracking game. Strength in depth again from the bench.

    let's hope that Eddie J doesn't get into a punch up with the groundstaff

    England are a team who have forgotten/don't know how to lose and sometimes that's more important than playing well
