[QUOTE="edinburgh_gunner, post: 147786"] I think that the New Zealand game was a formality really. Hadden waved the white flag with that selection - most know my feelings on that subject. We did turn them over a bit but playing a team that quality we were hardly ever going to get the ball and when we did, we didn't have a chance to use it. Our first strength side should beat Italy. Our pack has beefed up and I think we've nullified Italy's only real sorce of strength. Our backs certainly have more skill and are now rather large. Parks' tactical kicking game has been pretty spot on all World Cup and he really has won me over (see some previous posts of mine), so if he maintains that our lineout - which has functioned pretty well I'd say - should pressure Italy into mistakes and keep them in their corner. The most important thing is that we keep cool and calm. IF we find ourseleves behind with time on our side, take the 3 points. Surely the strength and conditioning work put in all over the summer, which is evident for all to see, will pay off in the last 10 minutes. The most important 10 minutes of the game. [/QUOTE]
