not one point after 30 mins in the 2nd half

penalty Italy 31-22 quite embarrassing 2nd half performance, Italy deserve this lead

[cabbageandribs1875]

bloddy heck vdm

[J-C]

Not been a huge Townsend fan and this lacklustre performance does nothing to change my mind on him, a real top coach makes these players even better, look at Farrell at Ireland.

[Jim44]

Italy are very good but Scotland are Scotland.

[cabbageandribs1875]

at last Scotland try with easy con to come 31-29

2 mins+ need that ball down the other end and hope for the penalty

[Jones28]

*****

[cabbageandribs1875]

Poor 30 plus minutes there from Scotland.
Poor tactics and poor second half showing.

[Scottie]

Gregor get your bags packed and **** off back to pail land. You have constantly failed when it matters.

[cabbageandribs1875]

still got a hammering in Ireland to come

[cabbageandribs1875]

first home win for Italy in the six nations for 11 years

well done Scotland


the manner of that defeat was absolutely awful, i'm not sure we can blame townsend too much for the players performance

Scotland should have had enough about them to win but yes Italy are much improved and ended up deserved winners.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Great game at Twickenham so far, 8-6 England.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

8-12 half time.

[JimBHibees]

Was it a genuine knock on in the last play in Rome? Didn’t see one. Also thought the Italy player should had got yellow

[Scorrie]

England beat Ireland. So annoying Scotland lost as there would have been the championship to play for next week.

[Scottie]

Brilliant from England to win the game.

We had our chances today in Rome and were found out wanting again when the pressure was on.

Oh next weeks game in Dublin could have been so so different.

On a side note I think some of the officiating has been horrendous this championship. Big calls called wrongly.

[cabbageandribs1875]

ireland got what they deserved there i was amazed instead of holding on to the ball they kicked out to touch with just over a minute remaining, if i could have been bothered getting to the PC quicker i would have put a few quid on England getting at least a penalty to win it

still chin up ireland you have a very easy task next weekend

We can still win it, no? Like, insane outside chance, but a BP win in Dublin wins it, no?

Yep, could have been going for the Grand Slam too had that try against France been allowed.

Deserved win for England incidentally.

[Mcbizz1998]

I’m pretty gutted going to be honest.

Time for change I reckon? Toonie needs to go.

It does you’re right but could’ve been a lot simpler !

[heretoday]

Scotland lack a character to hold everyone together and maintain the discipline. They gave away too many penalties.

[hibsbollah]

Why is it when England win at rugby all the papers basically have full colour supplements and it feels like a national holiday will be called? ‘A game for the ages’. FFS. Why wasnt the previous umpteen times Ireland beat them similarly described?

Ball went backwards. Should have been "play on" and VDM had possession. Huge gaff from the ref to then blow for time. Another one.

It’s really not. He has the best generation of players and had failed to win anything. We have gone sideways and with yesterday’s result, have gone backwards.

Time for change as if we don’t then we will continue to tread water.
