Surely that’s it

Olimpico will be a fucking brilliant place to be right now. Outside the stadium will be an experience.

Fabulous stuff, well done Italy

Is it just me or did the refs in both this game and the France game favor the underdog?

But, fantastic result for Italy! Well done

Well this will make the Italian missus happy

Just imagine if England named a front row instead of a back row and vice versa. They might not lose to the perennial wooden spooners.

Anyway, long live Borthwick.

Crumbs, this is quite the result isn’t it ?

Great to see the pillock Pollock on the losing side again.

Well done Italy.

England were woeful, not able to beat a mediocre Italian team. The forwards were okayish but the backs were toothless. Worst backline of the competition, IMO.

Razor needs to take a long hard look at himself that he let this England team give the Allblacks such a towelling.

Italy 12 Menoncello is a big strong fast handful

If only someone had pointed out that razor was just lucky his opposition were coached by Borthwick in his first series in charge.

And we went fucking life and death with them. Barely beat them.

And were a George ford missed pen (off the post) and drop goal away from losing the year before in Twickers.

The warning signs regarding Razor were there from day 1.

England no 8 winning the world cup after that scrum pen is a great look right now.
