Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
His job in that England back-3 is to cover the extra 10 yards that Steward hasn't got a prayer of reaching. Daly is not even near the top of the 'to do' list. meh, He forgot that the defensive tactic was for Slade to rush up and therefore he needed to cover it but instead stood out on the touchline...

He has selected Pearson in the past, it's hardly a refusal. Pearson doesn't seem to have consistently hit the heights he was showing while at LI.

Re: Can Italy beat Ireland?
Italy were the most disappointing team of the World Cup for me. They played some lovely rugby during last years 6N, only to seemingly completely abandon it surfing the World Cup.

Some of the gushing over England, particularly roots, has been nothing short of embarrassing. So not just me. I thought Dallagio in particular was over the top.

That center partnership is f**king awful. Especially with the gnome at 10. Non of them offer any kind of running threat.
