[QUOTE="mosfeldt, post: 920542, member: 74779"] I think the narrative around this game is a bit blown out of proportion. If Italy lose there is no way their position in the 6 Nations is being undermined, they have become a part of the family and even though they get hockeyed a lot I wouldn't want them to leave. It took France 30 years of being the whipping boys until they started winning and they eventually become one of the tournament's strongest teams in it's history. Plus, the 6N is a business at the end of the day and Italy bring in a lot more € than Georgia will. I would love if Georgia joined to make it a 7N though. What does it take for this to happen? Given the old boy's recent comments on the 6N not being a developing tournament for other nations (or whatever), it doesn't seem like this is on the agenda any time soon. If ever. [/QUOTE]
