England's first half game plan reminds me of the days of Rob Andrew and Mike Catt, kick kick kick, its easy to see why Ford and Youngs get so many complaints at Tigers, its coached into them by England.
Ben having a great game but Farrell kicking means centres and wings have not seen the ball from a pass.
Mako goes down to ground at every scrum, who is to blame?

Thought Curry's tackle was more dangerous than Hill's.

As soon as he does he gets turned over :smt005

You will be pleased to know I worked the old Griffin magic at halftime. Every time I watch England these days, they play pants. At half time I had to make Fajitas, so turned TV off. Eddie will owe me 😁

Will England play that badly and win so well again?

First game for England in 7 months so I did not expect an epic. I am still wondering why so much ball was kicked away when you consider that the majority of the Italy team are from Zebre, I would have thought the occasional wide run would have drawn in the narrow Italian defence even more?
