Well that is all very true except we all know the bes tackler will be the same as last year and the year before that and the year before that : Thierry Dusautoir.
Lawes to make Parra **** his pants and miss every pass though. So against England I hope Elissalde starts :lol:

aw man lawes out in another amazing tackle in that match that in my guess is more impressie as it was on a very big guy and i have not seen it since i saw the match but thats an insane hit

what made it more the sweet was that lawes had taken a punch before this and kept his cool then boom..thats how rugby should be played

italy
Zanni: not an absolute newcomer with his 37 caps but he will shft to no. 8 this year (due to Parisse injury) and I bet he'll play great
Favaro: the 21 years old flanker, if given enough space, could show his skills and talent

I'd say Craig Gower too, since he's technically a 'newcomer' to the 6 Nations tournament. From what I've seen of him he's quite good, might be able to spark a bit of creativity in the backline (like the Gonzalo Garcia try vs South Africa, which is class) so should be interesting. Out of interest, hows Marcato doing? Rated him very highly as a Fly-Half (didnt think Fullback was as good a position for him) in the 08 6 Nations.

 

[Charles]

He was injured in November, don't know if he has come back yet.

 

[danit]

Marcato just came back from a long term injury, just played one game in january in italian Super10 but was not part of the squad for the latest European Cup match Treviso played in Perpignan: he's far from being ready for a comeback to the international level

Gower: I'm not confident, I agree about his creativity in the backline but he's not solid - consistent enough, nor in kicking game nor defensively, and he has a dangerous attitude in committing big errors while searching for "creativity", not casually in Bayonne he has been reverted to the inside center position after he didn't show enough consistency at flyhalf

p.s.: Garcia try vs. Boks was brilliant but mainly caused by a huge defensive error by Adi Jacobs

Gower does look good. Offers one thing Italian 10's haven't provided so far, accuracy when kicking for goal.

Gower Offers ... accuracy when kicking for goal.[/b]

he was shite in november 2009 TMs (5/10 in kicking, some of them eaaasy, and a bunch of missed dropgoals), being replaced in kickin' duties by Mirco Bergamasco (a real "occasional kicker"...)
