He reminds me of Pieter Louw. Enjoy his style and commitment. Talking of that, is Louw still playing?
Big attack by Engalnd, just out at the end… but the ref plays a penalty for offside
Better by England. A lovely floated pass to start the movement

As the great and glorious Smiles said, this match reminds one a bit of the Sharks/Kings match.
Toby Flood playing alot better than Farrell did in the last match. Farrell may have to work a bit to get his place back when he comes back from injury.
Italy still in it, just
No one says ‘buthchered’ quite like Jonathan Davies!!!!
Looks like the hairy beast is out for this match. Hope he will be fit next week.
