it should revert to the five nations, Italy is a joke and the games 9 out of 10 are a waste of time .. good day out in Rome for their home games though .. and that's all can be said for them perhaps a Division 2 is called for with Italy, Romania, Georgia and (say) Russia and Spain or Portugal .. problem there is though that Italy would probably walk over that lot every year

Agree. To be fair, they are improving and held their own in the first half today. But ultimately, they aren't very good and will always be the whipping boys.
off to rome this weekend, shame ireland didnt win the weekend as we are going to the game on saturday ( mrs is irish ), so would of made it a little better.
pity about the commentary .. two Welsh 'patriots' and spluttering Brian Moore .. England should win this .. must keep their discipline and cut out the penalties
I was in Cardiff last season for our game down there .. it was the same weekend when Wales beat us in the RU World Cup .. fair play to the Welsh, I had great craic with some of their lads .. they are generally passionate and one eyed but still retain humour and a sense of what's 'just' .. bad weekend though, we lost the football and the rugby ((:<)
fair play to Jones for sticking by his players .. but Itoje is not a back row player (yet?) .. presumably Clifford came in for Wood because Haskell can't do the 80 minutes ,, we need another specialist on in the back row and Itoje back in the 2nd .. Joe Launchberry hasn't look fit the past 2 games and should give way .. T'eo for Joseph could be a goer as well

We'll have to agree to disagree re Launchbury, today anyway. He has got through a phenomenal amount of work.
