“England tends to slow balls down a lot and they steal a lot of balls – said Lorenzo Cannone in today– press meeting; – they are first in turnovers. They have great quality players; their third lines are very dynamic and you always find them around the field. We will have to try to anticipate them as much as possible”.

“They play a lot on the line, some times they put their hands in the ruck while other times they stay on the space. They have so many ways to try to recover the ball and we will have to be very attentive to discipline which will be a key aspect” stressed the blue third line.
