[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 827082, member: 72205"] Mike you seam to have misinterpreted the intention. Italy are pushovers but because they completely capitulated against Wales in the 2nd half of the 2015 6 nations on the last day. It meant because points difference was key Ireland had to smash Scotland (a harder prospect but they tried) and England had to smash France. Both England and Ireland had Italy in the first two weeks and didn't run up as large of margins as Wales did but they only set benchmarks Wales knew what they had to do against the worst side. Bonus points don't mean a hard fought win against France is worth less as everyone has to play France. Its an attempt to stop teams getting that sunny day in Rome in March having a greater impact in a close thought competition. [/QUOTE]
