absolutely uncalled for world rugby will have to change their laws now ffs. connor o'shea has a lot to answer for they'll be practicing that spoiling shite at rugby clubs all over the world now. eddie jones nailed it in his post match interview 'not rugby'
 


England out-foxed in the first half by a team playing by the rules.

Bad form England complaining about it IMO

Parsnip this shite btw
 
Nonsense it was the equivalent of Sunderland putting 11 men behind the ball and defending for 90 minutes against Chelsea.

Damage limitation by Italy and England didn't have a clue how to break them down for 60 minutes

Englands inability to adapt was more worrying.

Not contending the rucks meaning no offsides.

Basically Italy players standing in the way of people.

Legal according to the laws of the game but not really good sportsmanship and completely stopped the flow of the game.

They hammered them within 10 minutes of the second half by driving through the middle and spreading the ball quicker and not engaging on the floor. Killed the Italian game very quickly once they did that
 
Jones should be acknowledging innovation not whinging about it. Smart coaches find solutions. It sounds like sour grapes because he was being really arrogant pre-match saying he was hoping for 70 points.

Ireland could beat us to the championship on points difference because he reacted so slowly.
 
yeah, but you can drink in the stands and the home & away fans sit together, so that makes it all ok.

Absolutely and the fact the England captain kept asking questions to the ref showed their limited knowledge of the laws.

Jones should reacted sooner as well. Launchberry embarrassed the Italian forwards second half smashing through the breakdown

not sure if you noticed in the 2nd half that the ref began to call a ruck to avoid confusion
