First topic message reminder :

Looking forward to the game, had no idea they had that much snow. Pitch doesn't look too good!

EDIT: Got to comment on Guscutt's scarf, it's soooo bad!!

That wasn't deliberate by Burton was it?

not really, he did clip his legs. Not on purpose mind you.

Very soft penalty that.

Looked innocent to me, can see the penalty though.

0-3 England

by Cari Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:29 am

Well at least there's some points on the board now.

0 - 3.

by **Biltong** Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:29 am

Fortunate three points for England there.

by Cowshot Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:30 am

3-0. Good on you Owen. Good prospect at 20 years old.

Bit Poopie on the advantage, Dowson was over for a try

by nobbled Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:30 am

And we're off!

by nathan Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:31 am

Youngs seems to be having a better game.

The reason why there wasn't a try was the shoulder charge that dislodged the ball from the italian attmpting to catch the ball. Wink

All these young players and Tom homer the London Irish full back isnt there... Whistle

by eirebilly Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:32 am

England up very quick on the Italian attack..

by eirebilly Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:33 am

Taken in the air. No malice

by nathan Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:33 am

lol at castro trying to push the ball out whilst laying on his back. Think he was smiling after! lol

by ChequeredJersey Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:34 am

Poor decision

by bsando Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:34 am

haha Dylan wants to get rowdy!

by Cowshot Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:34 am

England gaining in confidence, I think. Wish we were kicking less though. Even in these conditions.

by ChequeredJersey Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:35 am

Actually I take it back on replay, correct decision

by Cari Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:35 am

Vicky Pollard (Hartley) getting annoyed... devil

by **Biltong** Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:36 am

Parisse is having another good game

by Cowshot Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:36 am

Parisse again in the right place at the right time. He is magnificent.

to be fair he did actualy use his arms at wrap him, but the rewf had already blown

by Cari Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:37 am

Castro looking sore...that'll be a big loss if he goes.

by ChequeredJersey Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:37 am

Saying Parisse is having a good game is a tautology

by nobbled Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:38 am

Great pressure from in England in defence keeping the Italians at bay and giving us turnover ball

by eirebilly Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:38 am

Takes alot to hurt Castro...

by **Biltong** Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:38 am

Fortunately it is cold so he doesn't need much of the magic spray. Very Happy

by Shifty Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:38 am

Fine figure of a man Castro there....
Adam Jones he ain't... not enough pies... yet Whistle

by Cari Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:38 am

Ah a bit of Ralgex, and he's back on....oh, maybe not.

sorry to castro leave Sad

by Cowshot Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:39 am

Castro off. Popped cartilege?

by eirebilly Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:39 am

Massive loss for Italy Sad

Broken ribs hurt like hell.

by Shifty Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:39 am

Huge loss for Italy there, that's not a temporary replacement, it's not blood.

by Cari Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:39 am

He's certainly in agony. Hope he hasn't broken something.

by nathan Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:40 am

italy number 3 clearly went up then!

Was just going to say that that's a shameful gut for a prop, Matt Dunning's laughing into his sausage roll

Yeah well assisted by the english loose head. Wink

by eirebilly Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:41 am

Instantly you see why Castro is missed.

by nathan Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:41 am

hartley went up on that one and we got the penalty! lol

Well it is really an unfair comparison as Chuck doesn't feel any pain. Cool

by Cari Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:41 am

Can't believe it's nearly half time....could this Six Nations be England's most uneventful so far? They haven't had an exciting start.

by Standulstermen Sun Feb 12, 2012 3:41 am

Is Corbisiero not driving up though. Doesnt look like he he driving straight to me. Either way i think Englands scrum is impressive and whilst they are giving up too many linebreaks once they get into their own 22 they seem very good and more importantly disciplined.

THey arent coughing up cheap points
