Which possibly raises the question of who's next if Borthwick doesn't last long.
I didn't catch much of it, but the bits I did see featured England conceding about a zillion penalties, as is their wont. Beyond that, I gather they missed almost as many tackles, which shouldn't really happen at this level. Maybe the current batch of players just aren't up to much.

Capuozzo is so good to watch. Almost like he dove through the arms of the defense for that try in the corner, if he were 'normal' sized, he doesn't squeeze through there. Italy have a real gem.
Also, enjoying how Italy are trying to play, they know they need to attack to win and can't beat France at attrition, and it's brilliant.

Does it count as a missed tackle if you don't bother trying?

Tomasso will have nightmares about the last few minutes of that game.

indeed, missed pen, shanked kick for touch, had a really good game otherwise (think most of the Italian team did tbf)Tomasso will have nightmares about the last few minutes of that game.

I thought trying to kick that penalty from wide right, down 5 points with 7 minutes left, was a big mistake. Taking the points from under the posts is one thing, but that penalty was no better than 50-50. A 5m lineout where a try puts you ahead with almost no time left puts France in a much more uncomfortable position.

but what it is ain't exactly clear.
Strewth, you and Howe have been digging out the oldies lately.

Only just seen the weekends results now and almost fell off the chair seeing Scotland getting up at Twickenham.
Anyone know how many times this has happened before? Certainly can't recall it myself but guessing it's probably happened once or twice.
Also France just holding on was another surprise although the Italians have been known to chuck in some strong performances at home before.
