Loving Italy’s performance – committed, clever, and mixing it up #topmoment @EnglandRugby very very flat and passive
— Will Greenwood (@WillGreenwood) February 26, 2017
England lucky to still be drawing with Italy. Hopefully they will build some rhythm from getting hold of and maintaining the ball….
— Will Carling (@willcarling) February 26, 2017
Hope someone is playing is it a tackle is it a ruck drinking game!!! Love it from Italy. #ENGvITA
— Nick Evans (@nick10evans) February 26, 2017
Well that just about sums up @EnglandRugby first half. Standing and watching!!! 🚀 on its way from Eddie….

Having been coached by Eddie Jones, I’d love to b a fly on the wall in the change rooms at half time…

The tactical brains of O’Shea, Catt and Venter and the implementation from the Italian team is my @Tissot_Sport#TopMoment
— Andy Goode (@AndyGoode10) February 26, 2017
#TopMoment in the rugby. Not often you see that happen. England got some work to do in the 2nd half.

It even got a bit heated between Matt Dawson and Andy Goode…
Players Reaction
The match was probably best summed up by second row Courtney Lawes.
Classic day for armchair nauses. I asked what the ref wanted to see, not what the rules were. Give them what they want to see

Great to have @mako_vunipola back and amazing to be involved in @owenfaz’s 50th 👊🏻
