So they were bad but they are normally in touching distance with the other side. I think ej must have spotted a weakness and exploited it. They couldn't handle the big ball carriers. When they had the ball they looked pretty dangerous.
Are Italy just a blight on the competition at this stage? England were good yesterday but some of the Italian defence was really amateurish. I just don't see them ever improving.
As for Wales, I think Ireland will beat them, but if they do win the Grand Slam it will be a tremendous achievement. Don't think anyone predicted it ahead of the tournament.
Italy are just a bit pants away from home, like Scotland.
Having said that I’m not totally against a relegation system to give Georgia a crack.
If the best of the rest in the northern hemisphere is Georgia than I am against relegation as it would be a gimme of bigger proportiond
than Italy also apart from the England game they have been in with a shout in the other three internationals.
Just arrogance from England followers that think they are above Italy . Well I say they are doing quite well and the improvement in the last five years has been noticeable.
How putting Georgia in place of Italy is going to make things more competitive is beyond me .
By saying you don't like being called arrogant says that you are English as I am but I don't have the right to call Italy no hopers when they have been on hole on an upward trend.What you would say about anyone wanting to chuck Italy out of the six nations is that they are obviously saying that they are above such lowly opposition . That smacks of arrogance ; entitlement ; And a person that has a feeling of superiority . Try being in their shoes when they are busting a gut to compete and being called basically a waste of space.
Surely the Irish don’t want England to win the championship? Might as well just let us win.
I don't think even the Irish could stand listening to the Welsh bragging for the next 12 months. The prospect certainly gives me the shudders.
This is a good point to be fair.
I’ve only been mildly obnoxious, though.
Expect a lot worse next week if we win.
