Lancaster has made five changes to his starting line-up following the victory over France two weeks ago
•England have won all 18 previous meetings against Italy, spanning 22 years.
Italy are predictably massive underdogs heading into the clash having never beaten England and anything other than a win for the Grand Slam hopefuls would be classed as one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history
i think there is value in the handicapp betting -26 italy.is the way to go
what do you think chaps

My thinking is, that if Scotland can beat Italy by 24 points, then England should be able to stick a few more past them if it stays dry.
|
|
By:
is that -26 italy giving start.
|
|
By:
That anthem singer will be the best thing about this match
 |
|
By:
shes fit but a have to mute her as im oirish
|
|
By:
TBF, Vis, she should be, regardless of how entertaining the rugby is!
|
|
By:
Imagine her and K Jenkins double teaming you
 |
|
By:
They wouldn't be for long!!
 |
|
By:

eyeties just gonna give loads of pens, last 20 will be a horror show for them as long as eng keep going full pelt although ashton is doing my nut in already |

Toby "Fooking" Flood
|
|
By:
How does Flood get into teh squad? He's very limited
|
|
By:
Has been discussed at great length. Some players are just not good enough at international level yet have a whole shed full of caps. Flood is a prime example.
|
|
By:
England messing about Italy been in half once and only 3 behind after quarter of the game
England will win but be around 12-15pts I feel |
|
By:
bloody hell Parisse was in there if he held that
|
|
By:
So clancy disagrees with owens who was adamant no knock on?
|
|
By:
Looked like he ignored Clancy
|
|
By:
LOL ig they butchered that
|
|
By:
*if
|
|
By:
Trouble for Italy backers on cap is they could get ripped apart last 20 if Burns comes on and gives it a go.
Flood how have you not scored? |
|
By:
England fail to convert 7 on 1 attack
Zzzzzz Why don't you guys just stick to kicking long and taking 3s |
|
By:
how big was that overlap?
|
|
By:
If that was league, Italy would have had the ball back ;)
|
|
By:
flood is itais MOM so far

Mug Of the Match
Actually a short pass was a great option too. |
|
By:
Clancy finds Italy a free kick. Scrums and refs. Twas ever thus.
|
|
By:
HTF have we not scored a try yet here?
|
|
By:
fk off clANCY..that was a pen against italy then in the scrum
|
|
By:
Still don't know how we didn't score on their try line
Me n my mates could have scored a 7 on 1 attack |
|
By:
Impression I get is that England are trying to score 50. Not beat Italy.
|
|
By:
In my opinion Wales look a cracking bet next week to beat this current England team
|
|
By:
keep running it right down the middle against 14..pathetic
|
|
By:
England are CLUELESS
|
|
By:
WTF sort of a ball was that?!?
|
|
By:
This reminds me why I prefer rugby league than union
This is plain boring thought give it ago expecting points but this is plain watching paint dry |
|
By:
No chance this lot go to cardiff and win
|
|
By:
England getting worried take the three zzzzz
|
|
By:
it was 6-3 course they take 3
 |
|
By:
Eng just throw it wide rather than cutting back every time please........
|
|
By:
Jesus Christ how many more chances they want to butcher??
|
|
By:
insipid is the best word to describe this mess
