    Went to the Rugby last night, first time at the stadium this season... 50k attendance there.

    Anyone else go?

    First half was shocking. Italy had more territory and England were kicking the ball away a lot. The fans were clearly bored and the stadium announcer had to keep trying to ratchet things up or they'd stick a UB40 cd on for the first line to get them going.

    Second half I think more first-teamers came on, Youngs was on at scrum half and the intensity changed dramatically. I think Jones has to have Ford and Farrell working together at the World Cup.

    I've never had the chance to get down to Twickenham so I enjoyed it.
