[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 554494, member: 48703"] This. All Italy can achieve here is damage limitation. Away from home their record is dismal. No win for 6 years, and they haven't come within 13 points of winning for 5 years away from home. They have hardly even challenged Scotland much away since 2007, with the Scots winning comfortably each time. And England with Harry Ellis and Andy Goode at half backs still beat them easily by 25 points in 2009. And as you say, they can ship quite a few if they concede early on, such as Ireland away last year and England the year before that. The Italian clubs records also match their poor away form. Treviso give nearly every team in Europe a test in Italy, but away from home all of Leicester, Ospreys and Toulouse got a routine try bonus win. They have also only won one match away from Italy all season, making their draw at Ulster even more surprising. [/QUOTE]
