Bring Tuilagi on the wing!

Ultimate Rugby Mar 3

Early shove from England at the scrum and Parisse goes quick. Ball knocked on at the ruck and we'll have yet another scrum. Seeing England's efforts to counteract the Italian scrum dominance with an earlier shove. Pinged once already

Cymru Wales Mar 3

Is farrel allergic to leather

Alasdair Mcconnell Mar 3

Viva italia.

Ultimate Rugby Mar 3

Lawes steals the LO but there's a knock on from Robshaw and it'll be an Italian scrum to restart on halfway. Great effort to get up there from Lawes, cutting off the back of the Lineour

Ultimate Rugby Mar 3

Needless offside from Farrell at the LO and Italy get a chance to clear their lines. Italian throw to come

Ultimate Rugby Mar 3

That facet of play shows precisely what England need to be doing. More direct play. Out wide they don't seem to have the beating of the Italian defence, thus far atleast

Lmao ... A welcome to Rome tackle by Esposito!

Ultimate Rugby Mar 3

Ball off the top in the LO and Burrell goes directly over the gainline. Makes 50 metres or so and England are just 15 out from the Italian line now. Ball shifted wide to May but he is hammered into touch by Esposito.

Ultimate Rugby Mar 3

Robshaw up the middle and then it spread wide to Brown. Once more the ball is lost in the tackle however and Italy kick downfield through Orquera. England playing it too loose and fast at the minute and Farrell needs to grab a hold of his pack and send them over the gainline.
