Italy v France

[An Tarbh]

screw it if there was a knock on, that was a cracking bit of play.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Holy shite Griffen is ****. Two tries he's responsible for.

 

[MunsterMan]

Medard in now, Looks like a long afternoonfor the Italians!

 

[An Tarbh]

think it's safe to say they're out of sight now.

 

[An Tarbh]

all too easy for France with that last turnover.

 

[An Tarbh]

goodness again woefully short with the kick.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Christ, just realised Griffen was at fault for all three of France's tries.

 

[An Tarbh]

hence why he wasn't picked originally but why Mallet has persisted with him is beyond me.

What's the name of that beeb commentator? The one that just said "Remember the time I looked like a ***?" when talking about Parisse?

 

[Sir Speedy]

Lovely bit of stepping from Bergamasco and a nice offload for Parisse's break... Only for the ***s to squander a three-man overlap in the following phase.

25 - 3 to France half time.

Nice match But i'm staying on the feeling that we could play to make the ball out of rucks faster , parra should play faster as we put the italian out of position . The referee has been a little bit too "lovely" with us at the beginning on the 2 or 3 first penalties . I'm not reassured (not on this match but the way we are playing) . let see the second half , lots of point could be important as it would make us maybe in second of third position of this tournament .

 

[An Tarbh]

good Lord, at least that wasn't down to Griffen.

 

[An Tarbh]

you know a match is well and truly over when the commentators are talking about the player's education and other qualifications.

 

[An Tarbh]

Chabal at it again, bound to get plenty round here excited.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Italy follow up that Chabal charge with their best phases of play in the entire championship, only for the ball to be kicked aimlessly away by McClean. FFS.
Parisse saving Italian skins by shoving Fritz out there...

 

[An Tarbh]

no try, great work from Parisse.

 

[An Tarbh]

good man Parisse, almost as if the Frenchies didn't want to tackle him just to let him have it,

 

[crispy]

Parisse! Awesome hands from Italy for once.

 

[monkeypigeon]

TRY! SuperParisse!

 

[Sir Speedy]

And a wonderful try for Parisse. Excellent work from Marcato and a Chabal-esque run by Sergio.
