It was a good win, however did not see much of Henry Hutchinson as I would have liked as he was always out of the picture and plays. Simon has not impressed at all this tour with his short stint last night, not sure if he is still carrying an injury, in which case he should never have been cleared to play, or is he just out of form? The front row that finished the game should be starting next game as they were demolishing the opposition scrums. Goddard was the better half on the day and should take the starting slot against Scotland. Let's hope we can finish 5th overall with 5 wins 1 loss and that by 1 point against England 20-19.

Too true he's not a winger, but I don't think there's a spot for in the back row in this squadI would be playing Simon Kennewell as a backrower. He is not a winger

Very funny game to watch - score doesn't reflect 60 mins of the game.
1-3 outstanding again.
4-5 invisible in first 60. Swinton added some spice
6-8 Wright very good. ASY (Angus Scott-Young) and Hewatt average.
9-10 and 12 Rocks or Diamonds
13 He will get all the pats on the back but his distribution is very average.
11 and 14 never got into the game.
15 Well, best player within the team for me with Vui a close 2nd.
This was a very average Italian team with wholesale changes and as the game progressed wholesale injuries and for the first half they ruled the roost.
This in my opinion will be a great learning curve for Cron who was probably forced to take a few players he wouldn't have selected himself, and I am almost certain he will not fall into the trap of bringing players in so late again. I think we could all agree that individually the backs in particular are good players but they have just not clicked as frequently or as soon as they should have.
Who would have thought a number of years ago an England team that has been bullied at set piece (last nights game against the Baby Bokkes, will give them nightmares) would have an excellent set of backs and make the final off those backs and an Aussie team would dominate all upfront couldn't convert that possession and dominance into points. The world has gone crazy.
