Really? He came back on when he was injured and could barely walk, there were more bandages on him than The Mummy at the end! Yet he still led by example, if not with the actual armband itself
i am struggling to justify my previous comment tbh.
he's not the same player of 2 or 3 years ago though is he ?
No, thats fair, but he's still some player. I guess he knows himself better than anyone and will decide when its right to quit, though he seems to get injured an awful lot, part of that is just sheer full blooded guts, but I think he's not fully healing between games
Speaking of which, Ireland could be in real trouble next week, there might be no fit centres bar Earls, and only Kearney of the first choice three quarters. If that means the scrum has to carrybth burden, it will be tough in Italy against the like of Castrogiovanni and Parisse
Heroic by BOD but my worry is he seems to be breaking down every game now at least in some way. Ireland were the better team and to be fair to Heaslip he really drove the team for once.
Saint-Andre should be sacked and banned from rugby management for his team selections this year.
Don't think BOD will play in another Six Nations, looked well and truly zonked at the end yesterday.
I wonder how much he really still wants the Lions tour.
Comfortable win for England expected today then.
Where's mex thought he'd have a match thread up & running?
Not sure mate....high tempo by England...must be knackering
Fancy England to run a few tries over this afternoon
Definitely....Italy's defence is excellent so far but no way they can keep this up for 80 minutes...no one could
There's 6-0, feel it's going to be all-too-easy for England
Flood needs to stop Hollywooding these kicks to touch
Awesome play - butchered by Flood
by Goode* What could Flood do? Lucky it wasn't accidental offside.
Get out the way or ship it on Aristo!
It was like five on two, Flood was there to shove him over if he needed it. Goode had to send it wide or go himself.
Either way it should have been converted
Italy bringing on a tighthead that can scrummage
I thought England might have been more points ahead by now, Italy definitely improving as a nation. Wales might still have a chance next weekend.
