lobotomy

ENGLAND AGAINST ITLY..............


England are going absolutely nowhere. That was evident on the performance against Italy. Irrespective of what I now call the Mallet incident after he played flanker Mauro Bergamasco at scrum-half in what I think was the worst Italy team I have seen in ten years.
They gifted England two tries and England had to work for absolutely nothing. In the second half they just did absolutely nothing. It is the same problem that we saw in the autumn.
There is absolutely no development and I have no idea where the coaching staff of Wells, Ford and Smith are going with this team.
It is scandalous really especially with the ridiculous price of tickets - they charge so much for entertainment that is so low.
That performance against Italy was inexcusable; England did not try anything and did not play any rugby. I think it was shame that Steffon Armitage was substituted by Joe Worsley - Armitage had no rucks to hit and was not given any pattern to play with whatsoever.
