    Chargedowns. A perfectly valid and skillful way of winning the ball.

    The two Italian tries came from lucky interceptions.

      Yes, but hardly a strategic approach to winning the game. It's akin to playing for penalties (not that England ever did that, oh dear me no, would never happen) rather than trying to win in the field. A habit they seem to have finally broken.

        It's called applying pressure, which is a perfectly valid strategy to winning a game. It's how NZ won the world cup final.

        Mind you, England aren't great at it.

          Mind you it doesn't always bear fruit after seeing the stats for the Wales v Scotland game, Wales had tackled twice as many times as the Scots yet the score was still 3 - 3
