I know that it is entertainment but more to game than hitting the ball The ECB shoulder a fair bit of that blame. They've fairly openly said in the past that they want less teams (at the expense of the lesser Counties like Northants*, Derby and Leicester), and so have stripped back funding for England players coming through at Counties like that. Plus their ridiculous idea of having a franchised new format (The Hundred), which effectively skims the best players from the Counties and their overseas stars during the T20 fixtures. Add on top their bizarre fixture scheduling so that the 4 day games are often bookended at the start and end of the seasons, normally when the weather isn't great, plus you'll very rarely see those 4 days games played with more than 2 days over the weekend. *Potentially the oldest County in the County Championship.

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Got a hunch that Italy will do well against Ireland today. Link to post Share on other sites

Well Italy haven't started quite like I thought they would. I have a feeling that the very late injury to the starting Italian 9 (in the warm-up), might have thrown them off kilt a little bit.

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Well Italy crumbled a bit today, going down to 13 men didn't help them. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Well Wales have just scored a try, but it's a little debatable. Firstly the penalty against England probably shouldn't have been a penalty. Then they have a short break to get water on, and before the water "boys" have left Wales take the penalty quickly and score from a cross field kick. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,545 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Very poor from the referee there. Came across as very arrogant Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Yeah he's had a shocker so far. He's just gave a penalty to Wales for an England knock on, but Navidi stripped the ball from Curry. Itoje does the same and gets a penalty against him. Link to post Share on other sites

LRZ knocks it forwards off his hand, it hits his legs after going forwards, then hits Slade. That is a clear knock on 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
