[QUOTE="shtove, post: 174945"] I'm sure the French back three will cause damage, no matter what the defence, but Italy have to minimise it. They failed badly last year, even though their pack did the usual roughing up job on France. Today I think Austin Healy pointed out that Italy started committing more players to the breakdown in the second half and smashing England off the ball. Ireland gave away Clerc's first try (fair dues, it was brilliantly executed) by not having enough strength at an attacking ruck - Wallace was pushed off the ball, Reddan was hasseled in to a turnover, and hey presto - try from 60 metres! That shouldn't t happen to Italy after the experience they had today. [/QUOTE]
