England v Italy
So English professional rugby players don't know the offside law at a tackle which any player in well coached mini-rugby would be able to tell you about!

All the excesses of the brat pack like young chickens, they always come home to roost.

In fairness to the English players they have been let down by their coaching staff, who failed to tell them they were out of line.

To be pedantic, under the NROP there *are* offside lines at the tackle, certainly at U9,10 and 11 - think the current internationals are a little old to blame that on their confusion though!
