First topic message reminder :

Looking forward to the game, had no idea they had that much snow. Pitch doesn't look too good!

EDIT: Got to comment on Guscutt's scarf, it's soooo bad!!

Dreadful from the italian but fair play to hodgson. Two in two weeks. Its not a fluke if he keeps putting himself in a position to make those blocks. Fair play

Well played Hodgson, good pressure.

Quick question: is Hodgson a decent kicker? I know the fly half doesn't have to take kicks, but wondered why Farrell gets the job for England as he's fairly inexperienced at this level (but proving to be a very good kicker!).

It wasnt a great game for Youngs to be honest.

England with the wind in their sails, great stuff from them now.

Are these pictures coming via Italian TV coverage? I just wondered why the pictures of Parisse suddenly appeared when our commentators are on about something completely different.

England have looked far sharper since Dickson came on. the fact that he's playing with a busted hand should give Youngs a kick up the jotter.

Apparently he was a bit petulent when he was replaced, Lancaster should smack his legs.

England looking better for this 6-N Championship. Moving the ball through the hands nicely. Wont be beaten easily. Lancaster should be lauded for having the cajones to use this 22. Breath of fresh air.

Kidney! Are you watching this Elmer?
