Agree about Italy. For me, neither team looks exceptionally exceptional.eirebilly_01 wrote:All that promise Italy showed last week has disappeared. Cynical and stupid so far. England could run up a big score here.

Harsh on Italy, thought they were very good against France last week. Proper open rugby. None of that this week although, as you say, England playing very controlled rugby and not giving the chance to play.

What is it you don't like about Willis. He's an almost complete flanker.
Agree about the expert opinion though.

Nicely done from England. The forwards have completely monstered Italy's and it's been plain sailing.

An exceptional England flanker from a few years ago with an Italian surname. I am amazed you don't know who she is because she does a great deal of 'expert opinion' work these days - particularly when Italy are playing (surname again).

That's more like it. Willis excellent, itoje back to form, Dombrandt playing like we know he can. Lawrence good at 12
Much better shape to side.
Promising first half

I don't dislike Willis, just have reservations...I think we have better options. He's playing well though.

Alphonsi RWC winner with England so think she knows what's what. One of best women players.

Willis England best player in first half. 15 tackles so far and try. Couple turnovers.
Yeah he's been terrible![:grinning: 😀](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1f600.png?v=2.2.7)

I guarantee that if an English player was shoving his elbows into an Italian's players face on the floor it would have been a penalty.

Some people? I would appreciate it if you offered up a counter rather than a personal attack.
I have zero interest in women's rugby and I still don't see the relevance to her giving "expert opinions" in this game tbh. I'm all for her doing the women's games.

England have never been in any kind of trouble in this game bar the five mins after half time when they were not alert.

England have not been in any trouble no. Again, it was good play by Italy to score the try. Its not always down to England being switched off or not alert when a team scores against them. Sometimes other teams actually do something good...
