Ooh, a conundrum here: are England disrespecting Italy or not? 9 is a masive amount suggesting England got it wrong for 3 rounds essentially. But England also have a habit of resting plenty for this fixture. But we just had a rest week

Either way, I hope Italy give a good game. I-tal-ia!

Imho doubt he's resting players. Our back line has been pretty poor, the work rate hasn't been there which is inexcusable (dropping players suggests the rumours about excessive conditioning weren't true). Need to know they're playing for their shirts.

What are your thoughts on Arundel? Thinking he's played himself out of this world cup cycle
