[QUOTE="danit, post: 355085, member: 12855"] well, to be honest in Italy there's a lot of discussion about Kris Burton the Brisbane born flyhalf, aged 30, has never ever really been considered for a national team spot, as he had played for low division italian teams (Benevento, Brescia), for a low division french team (Orléans, fédérale 1), and only last year for Prato Rugby Club in the top domestic league in Italy (notably, togheter with Gori) he had an excellent season last year and is now playing for Treviso, where he's having an important role in this brilliant first part of the season in CL & HC but Nick Mallet doesn't seem to rate him too much, so he's just given the opportunity to play with Italia A tomorrow night vs Tonga, we'll see what happens next... apart from him (and Gower - Orquera - Bocchino), actually there's really no other decent flyhalf eligible for Italy [/QUOTE]
