Yep especially having given a yellow at the scrum, think Italians have every right to be hard done by here.
Gardner should be made to explain this. Incompetence at best, blatant bias and cheating at worst. How can you warn 1 team and give a yellow immediately then warn the other and do nothing.

A predictable end. Italy do not mentally view themselves as 'winners' and cannot match the depth that Scotland can recruit overseas. These were the differences on the day.

Hopefully Gardbisi Jnr can end Italy's decades long wait for a decent scrumhalf.
I think your doing Italy a bit of a disservice here, Scotland allowed to be cynical as hell a few times on their try line without major punishment.

Jonno was a prick there post match.

On current trajectory Italy just have to work on details and they're going to start properly winning games regularly. Good to see, and it's great to see more expansive rugby being played too.

Has last week's ref explained the differences in treatment of Welsh and Italian?

I heard a rumour he expected meat, as Australians love it, on his margherita pizza the night before the match.

He felt he was robbed, so decided to rob Italy of the match against Wales.
