Ffs Clancy, can England do no wrong? Absolutely nobody on their feet and they're killing EVERYTHING

Ye Gods, there's only one team in this. And they're losing.

Shameful from Clancy. England making no effort to roll away there a several rucks

If Italy could pass ahead of their runners they would be winning this.

One last push Italy!!

This has been the best game to trade for 1.0s since New Zealand v Ireland in the 2nd test. Awesome stuff.

I wish I could have got some money on Italy losing that line-out.

Good lord, Venditti nearly came up with some magic there.

Fair played Italy, but we were awful throughout.

I think that having a full back like Brown on the wing doesn't make you look exciting, but it does win games. Expecting to see England line up with Foden, Brown and Goode in the back-three at some point.

I HATE SHANE HORGAN STFU YOU ANNOYING PR!CK

Yep 14 points difference in it at the moment.

Wales have 2 more tries so they have to win by 7pts only I think.

Should Wales win by more than 14 points the establishment will insist on alphabetical order !!

We could have the bizarre sight of the team in front playing fast and loose at the end as if they are losing.

Italy V Ireland is the game I'm interested to see both Match odds and Handicap next week.

Think that is the best thing that could have happened to England ahead of next week. Get a stuttering, lumbering, almost undeserved win, which should help to temper the media somewhat, while also bringing about a renewed team focus.

Apart from the winning aspect to the match , England supporters cant be over the moon tonight .  Played with little flair , lost a lot of turnovers , surely this side did not beat the Kiwis .

Well we've seen how bad they can be,it goes without saying that a repeat of that performance and Wales will bury them. I wouldn't back England with stolen money if Fllod starts next week.

The early missed touch finders from Flood didn't help. They were on top very early and I think they would have got tries from one of the line outs and they would have won on the bridle.

A big positive is that they won when to me they seemed dead and buried

I doubt the points difference makes any difference now, the last thing the England team will want is to lose the match by a couple of points and win the competition.

It's all about the Grand Slam and winning the game or all that's gone before will mean nothing.

Kick for the corner. Not much to be gained by missing a grand-slam by a single point and if you bodge either Wales would still have a chance to go the length for a try to win the championship.

Would have been more interesting maybe if Wales only needed 6pts and England had a kickable pen at the end while 6pts down. Would have to take it I suppose, but would be nice to think that the try would be attempted, just doesn't make enough sense in what can be won and lost.


Strong claim for Wales being the best team in this tournament IF they hadn't played like tarts in the first 40 minutes against Ireland. Otherwise they have looked more dangerous than England and equally tough up front. You just can't have a 40 minute brain explosion and expect to win games though. Would have been an even better way to end the comp if they had beaten Ireland.
