Shortly before the end of the first half in today’s Six Nations match, Nick Isiekwe was judged to have blocked Italy in the maul leading to England’s try being disallowed.
Apart from this slip-up though, the number 5 had an otherwise solid game for England in their Championship clash against Italy.
A number of big carries and a strong defence helped his team put pressure on the Italian side contributing to England’s massive lead.
