Tommaso Allan slotted a 14th-minute penalty before replacement Ian Keatley notched a penalty goal of his own as the visitors wrestled Italian bragging rights.

Antonio Rizzi posted three penalties for Zebre, but the hosts came up short as Benetton sealed a sixth win of the campaign.

Why Freddy Douglas has played for Scotland before Edinburgh

He's like Henry Pollock for England...except Henry Pollock won't get picked for a few seasons before which he'll end up going to France and be the next Jack Willis 🤣

Sadly he is tied to England's poor results. Borthwick is still in the job because Smith was able to keep England in so many contests. If he had been injured this year and Ford was your 10.....

I don't know about that. The French 7s team have been pretty hopeless historically and they came from nowhere to win the Gold Medal at the Olympics.


For Rassie this is probably the least pressure he has ever felt. Coming off the back of back to back world cups. I think SA would had to have gone unbeaten for Rassie to be a serious contender.

They open up the 6N next year against Ireland and France. Surely 2 losses there would be the end for Borthwick.


In fact if England don't win it next year what is the argument for retaining him?

It warms my heart to hear a Kiwi speak so highly of an English 10. It's been a long time (since Wilko retired) since we had a playmaker to be excited about.

'They smelt it': Scott Robertson says Italy sensed All Blacks' vulnerability

I think the ABs performances have been quite poor this year, but any comparison to previous regimes has to be in the context of the opposition. This is the toughest year I can remember the ABs every playing, also the most tests they have ever played in a year too I believe. Foster's 14 tests you list above were played over 18 months or more as well, Razor's over just 5 months.


It really showed in the Italy game, and was a good advertisement for why more fresh players should have been used in that fixture.

Four talking points from England's awkward win over Japan

I think England obviously need to train alot more to fix their defense. Time together working to ensure each defender takes the right man is paramount or we're going to see the same amount of tries and losses. Then what? Sack the coach? What a joke that would be. The other fix is being accurate with your basics. England were sloppy to excess, dropped balls in the midfield. Charged down boxkicks, failed restarts. They need to carry out their basic skills accurately. This is a domestic club training responsibility. England should not be teaching their players catching skills. If the clubs are not spending time with skills training then the players need to step up and do it on their own time. There is no excuse for sloppy play at Test match level. They won't win squat if they don't aspire to be the best. Lastly we have the scrum which should be a strength of England but its flakey as. Okay its year one of the world cup cycle and you'd rather have these issues now that 2026 / 27 but we have alot to fix and we also have a media who won't give Borthwick the time he needs to fix them. That paragon of rugby Ugo Monye is already screaming for Borthwick's head. 14 caps and two tries and apparently he's the rugby media mesiah... ...This is where you say he's not the mesiah, he's a very naughty boy.

Ben Smith your a biased against the Springboks -making it so obvious as a journalist makes you totally inadequate and not worthy of being taken seriously.

Matera is a very strange choice I agree. Personally I would have picked Wallace Sititi

Coming from a Kiwi I too was surprised that DMac has made the team. I don't think it was a brilliant year for any 10s but for me I would have said Marcus Smith.

'Scotland are in a good place, but can they become ruthless Six Nations contenders?'

Strong win yesterday. A target must be a win against Ireland at Murrayfield and one win from England/France away. Wales and Italy at home must be won with bonus points.

That's a 4/5 ratio and puts them there or there-abouts for the championship.

he also recruited Jerry Flannery, so clearly Jerry Flannery must be better than Rassie.

Brett Robinson's first media briefing as new World Rugby chair

What's the problem with that? When you realise that an American NFL game takes about four hours, with playing time 60 minutes, that is a totally rubbish argument, especially as the yank market is the big attraction, considering the fact that RWC2031 is going to be there! The big danger of course - like with the Aussies and their very simple (and one-dimensional) Aussie Rules and Rugby League - is that union will have to be dumbed-down so the yanks can understand it, considering their one-dimensional alternatives like NFL, baseball and basketball. But we'll be watching Robinson's every step for sure.
