Huge credit to Italy though, they had a fantastic game despite the result. Bring on Le Crunch and the Slam next week at Stade Atlantique.
Despite the loss well done Italy you showed true determination. Well done Roses 👏
Marlie packer what a absolute legend. There is only one Marlie packer One Marlie Packer 🌹 come on red roses win the six nations
Roses need a new defence coach. Shipping that many tries is a joke.
We gifted Italy 3 tries with poor defending, especially around the ruck. Plus we can see the new players haven’t quite got it together yet. It will come. Next week will be the real test.
It was Italy -v- Red Roses actually
Very good effort Italy. Goes to show that England can leak tries.
Enjoyable game again. Love our Red Roses. But they need alot of work on the defence or we will lose to France.
Yes, we won. As much as I have to say it, Ellie Kildunne did not look happy out there today and was not her best self. Having watched France, the Roses will struggle to beat them with this team who played today. The pack won this game and Marlie Packer who looks fitter and faster was exceptional. The French look very dangerous now and can beat the Roses. I've already booked my tickets for Canada and Ferns in Sept so lets hope the old guard come back from injury.
Zoe Harrison is the GOAT kickers! And well played, Italy. x
REALITY. Here we saw a full professional team play a full amateur/part time team. England are a full professional team. They have a multi-million pound support program including the best training facilities in the world of womens global rugby - OUTSTANDING MEDICAL, COACHING, SPORT SCIENCE, TRAINING FACILITIES etc. A professional female English rugby player can expect to earn between £36,000 & £50,000 a season plus complimentary match fees of about £1,000.The majority of teams the Roses play are amateur or semi professional (only 4 or 5). Italian players are ALL part time and MUST have another job/study etc. The Italian "amateurs" actually played well in this game!
France will embarrass England if the defence coaches don't knuckle down. You can not concede that many tries even if you score double against an underdog! France will get a lot of decisions - we know that from what replays are shown by French TV and made available to the TMO - so England must be clinical. Awesome kicking from ZH & this will be vital to winning in France. Good Luck girls - the criticism is not aimed at you & sorry for being negative - just want a 'W' so much!
Like most, watched on the BBC, but had to mute the commentary, I like Brian Moore, but that woman was appalling, needs replacing, whoever she is
Zoe Harrison’s kicking was something else this game, come on you roses!
another sound job, Zoe H was on top form today but Marley P stole it for me just :). nice one ladies
Firrrrst
The rest are catching up.
As usual, the Roses score freely, so that's good. Just as usual though, they ship a truckload of tries, because that dreadful 'defence' has more holes than a bloody collander. Embarrassing.
Given that Italy are an improving side, coming off the back of an impressive display against Scotland at their last outing, while the Red Roses are fielding a team in a state of rebuilding due to many senior squad members' absences post World Cup for several reasons. The performance of both the old guard and the new was impressive. As the commentators mentioned, this England squad have not had the luxury of time, and many were out of their normal positions. Yet the forwards in particular were awesome. Marly Packer deserved the 'player of the match' award, not just because she scored 4 tries. But also because she is an inspiration to newer players. Italy continue to improve, which, although not reflected in the losing margin, is underlined by the most points they have ever put on the Red Roses. Shout out to England's goal kicking.
Lucy Packer has been so consistent and played very well today. Her pass from the ruck/scrum is very quick and her kicking timely and accurate. Flo Robinson looked very sharp.
