VdM not playing because he ate too much carbonara

We win easy, Forza ragazzi

That's a strange sight to see, an Italian team with an average pack and some actually exciting backs.

If Garbisi can get things going, the centres and back 3 could be exciting.

Havnt heard much about Lynagh since he burst onto the scene and made the move, anyone seeing him play regularly?

You are too optimistic, to me

 

[ntun82]

Have they cycled all the way to Rome from Scotland?

 

[ntun82]

"Can I kick the post" said by an Italian has all a different meaning

Have they cycled all the way to Rome from Scotland?

Yes

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Forget having a squad list like the Barbarians, Scotland are playing like them now too

 

[AlRums]

A bit scruffy down the far side, but I'll take it

 

[Jimbo]

Not convinced there wasn’t a knock on in that build up if not two.

Ref rules audibly each time it went backwards

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Italy defending very passively. Not how to do it against Scotland.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Italy need to wise up sharpish
Scotland look like they'll top 50 without breaking a sweat

I heard that doesn’t make it so though, Scotland looking very dangerous ball in hand, looked to have got away with that pen being on the wrong side and pretty blatant blocking, good value for their try’s though.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Lovely hands from Scotland so far.

Having to watch with the sound down though.

 

[dirty harry]

Awful reffing in that first 12 mins, Scottish players on the wrong side of rucks, obstruction leading up to the try...

The whole tournament is hamstrung by this issue

 

[Bluemoon]

Lovely try that from Italy. Hoped this game would be good for fantasy purposes, scores galore.

Really...

Italian pack getting beat up, first backline play leads to a try

Are you going to question the Garbisi call now?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Italy have woken up

 

[dirty harry]

Tell that to their tight 5... they're getting mushed
