Ha ha you mean the frequent injuries and full on tackles. just for a laugh I'd love to see a football team stand in front of a rugby charge - I like the way the rugby players just get up none of the rolling around squealing in pain.
It was a good game and pity about Scotland missing the kicks though.

No, the post was for Scotland scoring a great try and then that terrible conversion. Kind of used to the tackling after watching the game for 30-ish years.

They explained the conversion was because the ref told the player that he had to take the kick quickly or would be out of time, when they did the re run there was still 45 seconds left of the allotted time, but unfair of the ref as Laidlaw is normally reliable as a kicker.

Ah! I missed that explanation. Not very good of the ref.

Well. This is a very odd game. Not the same Italian team as against Ireland. And the coach is a damn genius for the no-rucking tactic. Seemed to completely bamboozle the England team.

Hi Miranda
all credit to the Italy coach, it was amusing to hear the ref say I am the referee not a coach to the players.
As expected England won so the next games will be interesting.
England's coach Eddie seemed a bit annoyed at being outsmarted in the first half

What the heck is going on in this Welsh game? I have never seen so much extra time.

Well, that was just insane.

I admit I don't know the rules that well but why couldn't the Welsh just kick the ball into touch.
just seen the England Ireland match & well done to both teams

The Welsh didn't get the ball. They kept giving penalties away and the ref kept going to the TMO and there was the fuss about the substitution.....
Just mad.

I agree it was strange, so the welsh would have had to turnover the ball without giving away a penalty before they could have kicked for touch.
I never saw the Scotland match and I know they won but was it an okay match?

I only saw the first half. I'm not keen on watching walkovers so I watched something else.
