[QUOTE="danit, post: 172086"] I'm a fan of Italian rugby, so I dont mean to be dismissive. I just dont think you guys will repeat the feats of last year. Well not this year with three away games. [/b][/quote]it's not probably a matter of away games (I mean, not only) but of the experimental side NM is building in the halves and in the backs in general, actually there are surprising rumors about the starting XV that will be named tomorrow and I don't think this way there are too many chanches to see a close game next saturday (otherwise Mallet would be a real genius...) I belive this prediction is not correct: Italy is going to play with one only kicker (Bortolussi at fb position) and if Masi will play at fh we gonna see many line-breaks efforts by him and by the centres, lots of pick-and-go by the backrow and just a few kicks Robertson and Bortolussi are far from being the best italian backs, Canale (if fit), Masi and Mi. Bergamasco are much better, you probably didn't see them too often in french Top14, I imagine [/QUOTE]
