England - Italy Match thread
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!!

Anyone else having trouble seeing the ball? Might just be my dodgy stream.

I'm watching on a big TV so I'm OK, but I can see why it'd be a problem on an internet screen.

Youngs isn't taking that step before he passes and we seem to be quicker as a result.

Speaking of dodgy pitches, looks like Stade's is in doubt...

Anyone know what the temperature out on the pitch is? The ref seems to be going blue.
eirebilly: Yep, he's not really on song. But he has lost that damned one step he was taking. Someone's had a word, I'd guess.
Scrappy and chilly. Fun though!

As a neutral (or at least as neutral as a scotsman can be! ) this has the makings of a horrendous game!

Well a Six Nations game hasn't been called off due to adverse weather since 1982 (they said that on the coverage last week). I'm hoping that it goes ahead regardless.

Is there any law about pegging a snowball at someone? I guess it would be frowned upon.

Well if the players are holding their private parts with one hand while their walking to the baths after the game, then you know it's bloody cold!

Italy's forwards have been very effective instopping the English line out to gather any momentum

Italy need to hang on to the pill and stop kicking it away aimlessly.
