    Hmmm - they didn’t focus much on the ariel challenge there - looked like a potential Irish knock on to me.

    Some (not me) would say karma for the one against Wales.

    I can see why they gave it to be honest.

    They all count though.

    England very poor so far. Can't help thinking we should have kicked for goal on that early penalty.

    The 2003 squad were masters at always leaving the 22 with 3 points. Called boring at times but were the best team in the world for exactly that reason.

    7-0 down and you have a kickable penalty less than 10 mins in? Scandalous not to take the points.

    Don't we just love conceding soft penalties?

    So frustrating.

    England are Charltonised.
  • LOL! England extend dead ball line and it costs them.

    Who is more crap this afternoon - England or charlton?

    England's performances have gone off a cliff. May just seemed to give up on that last try.

    Great first half, thought with the yellow card, England would score more. Then back to 15 & a 3rd try.

    This what does me about rugby, the player (don't matter what nation) runs into the ball and it comes off his knee and the pundit goes "Brilliant bit of skill there....." wtf?

    Because if it had come off his hand, the ref would have penalised him. Simple, really.

    It was more of a general observation on the sport of rugby, rather than an opinion on the "move" the player did today. I spose the pundit needs to justify his fee at the end of the day

    Real shame for Italy but should at least mean no more silly talk of kicking them out of the tournament

    Why the still lost.

    1 win which came against Fiji since 2016.
    No wins in 3 consecutive 6 nations now.

    Yes they had a chance and wasn't slaughtered but still think there should be a play off to give another nation a chance to enter next year.

    *Edited - So let Georgia or Romania compete with Italy for the chance to not win in 3 consecutive 6 Nations?

    So, every season, Italy would be forced to play in a play-off to retain their place in the six nations?
