I love Italy except when they play vs your own side , pushed England, should’ve beaten France so I’m delighted they got their win

Yeah, so long without a home win it was hard to begrudge them it. But also would have preferred it was against someone else.

England playing much better. Can’t believe they don’t start with Marcus Smith, he’s amazing.

Better team won, England deserved it but it stings like hell

Mixed performance from Ireland, never seemed to get into their rhythm. Fair play to England they kept the pressure on from the beginning.

What am I missing here - why did Conor Murray give England a lineout with a minute to go?

Was a very poor decision. Possibly a match losing one.

Was that not a very standard 4 or phases and kick it out on 80 scenario?

Thought we should have been capable of going through the phases for a minute.

The six nations is a ridiculously tough tournament. With Italy being decent now also it’s going to get tougher and tougher.

Away wins are gold.

Last day is looking exciting.

Really impressed by England - I wonder what their tournament might have been like if Marcus Smith had not got injured.

How did this get missed?

This must have been quite motivating. Jamie Heaslip was saying the same.

England have too many class players to be so dismissive of them.

A kick up the arse was needed - people getting way ahead of themselves and quite disrespectful I thought. I posted that hit by Genge earlier - it looked a bit reckless

[Buzzo]

Haha. What a pass

Ireland gone for the same side vs England but a 5/3 split on the bench

I can tell inside 8 mins that we are **** today, it’s like complacency has drifted into our game recently
