Smith has done more running with the ball so far in this game than Farrell has in his entire career

Lol. And England look so much better running it than kicking it away

Randall’s crisp passing just gives Smith that extra bit of time. We don’t look clinical, but at least more of a threat.

Yep - Smith has been a real live wire. Hopefully the precision will come the more they play this style and with settled combinations

England comfortable albeit for a couple of Italian breaks.
Smith is playing so much better than against Scotland when he tended to flap and kick the ball away at every opportunity.

Not a particularly interesting second-half. England lacking any creativity since the break. Effectively, secured the bonus point and shut up shop.

Nice win for England , good first half. A little lucky to nil Italy.
Not in the sense that Italy really had any great chances (other than they could have kicked some penalties) but they deserved a bit more

England looked very slick and ruthless. Italy were unlucky not to get any points, they battled well.

Pointless substitutions in todays game killed all England's momentum. Some of the subs made were bizarre as well.
Its a good win but they could have absolutely tonked the Italians and taken that onward into the next game. Instead it fizzled out.
Good refereeing performance in my book as well. Wasn't too familiar with today's official but thought he did well and was consistent in his decision making
