England should have put 30+ on them easy.
I think they would have, but I've noticed that some players seem to have an inability to pass. Even when there are players outside them who could have quite easily gone on to score, they insist on carrying on, getting tackled, and losing the overlaps that they had worked so hard to create.

Reminder of the points differences:
England +37
Ireland +33
Wales +12
France +22 (2 table points behind)
I'll try and update every half.

Not the start I was hoping for as a Wales fan!

That, Venditti, could be crucial in this match.

This game. Gutted that I have to go work. We'll have it on but it will be too busy to watch anything.
Did Italy not read the script?!
Hopefully the second half will be the opposite story and Wales can actually turn up.

Unfortunately this has now given us two dead rubbers now to finish the day.

Is 21 points insurmountable for Ireland? It probably is.

Well that was an interesting second half! If it wasn't for the handling errors Wales could have got to 75-80 points I think.

Thanks Italy for killing the rest of the day's rugby! 21 points by Ireland or 17 by England... They'll be lucky to get anywhere near those margins. After this disaster I support a return to 5 Nations rugby. How long have Italy been in? They still average 1 win per tournament and given the closeness of the rest of the teams the tournament is won on who runs up the biggest score on them.
