Went to see Morrissey last night, going to Suede at the end of march ….journey into my youth I suppose!

Heresy- I didn’t even think Italy had a good game by their recent standards, was expecting more. Totally agree with you; having the 1st and 2nd choice at SH out has costed us dearly, Garbisi jr is utter shite and gifted 7 points at the end of first half. Brex was back but did not train while in Arg...

Enjoy this moment!

Perhaps partake in a small glass of vino, too?

I wished mate, had to stop drinking alcohol 5 years ago….

Cherish it. Moments like this are rare.

Cheers mate. Hope your Italian part is celebrating too !

I think if italy took the points from pens earlier in the game they'd have rattled Ireland more. The TMO disallowed try was 50 50 for me and in a better era would've been let go. Consolations Italy. Great players in that team. Osborne had another great game as did Izzy and Bob. Edwin added bulk tha...

The nerve to complain about the homiest ref I have ever seen. Embarassing

tanu

It's not about coasting but Schmidt is all about small margins in a game that's already about small margins. Lose focus for whatever reason (mental exhaustion ended up being the problem with Ireland) and that quickly becomes a problem. Didn't see this game and maybe doing Italy a discredit talking ...

the refereeing trio kept Australia in the game ... anyway, a win is a win, the gap should have been wider if we hadn't butchered a couple of tries

Very happy with the second half performance, a lot less with the result. We knew we have had a solid U20 team for a few years now, finally getting more and more evidence of that at senior level. We played yesterday with 2 uncapped players, 7 players with less than 5 caps and 7 with less than 15; not...

tanu

In spite of the ill discipline and the early injuries, I was surprised we could have still won the game in the end.
Menoncello is there with the top centres right now and can’t wait to see him paired with Todaro and Zanandrea from the U20

I think some Italian bloke must have had sex with his wife. He never gives us a 50% call

Dickson is just terrible….. how was that a tackle in the air? French player had one foot on ground

Azz, Fischetti out not good

We were terribile. Was still enough for this Wales, but I am very worried about the games coming up.

Arrogant ?

For the first time i 24 years, I can understand the statement: “Yeah you scored some tries in the end but the match was over”. It’s the first time in 24 years that I thought after 10 minutes: “Ok, we got this, we can win this.” The first time Italia controlled the game from the first minute till th...

From conceding 150+ pts against the ABs and France at the RWC to 2 wins and a draw in France in less than 6 months. Most remarkable turnaround in the sport's history. I think that something went on in the last two games in the Italian camp. We are certainly inferior to AB and France, but we didn’t ...

tanu

Ah ah that was never a try

tanu

Wow. Just wow. I do not think Italia will be able to repeat what did 2 years ago. Should be a close match until latter stages. I hope to see our guys fight like they did all the tournament, even in Dublin. Would be fantastic to avoid that wooden spoon once in a decade You should have greater ambiti...

tanu

Great game. Should be 2Ws if not some crap ref decision on the final kick in the Fra game. Forza Azzurri! They should have beaten England too. The English try at the end of the first half that sparked their comeback should never have stood. Italy should have been challenging to win the whole thing ...

tanu

I don’t recall any edition of the tournament where literally any team could beat the other. For many years we didn’t stand a chance, but this year almost every game has been so close and entertaining that I cannot wait for the next game!

Italy robbed by the referees incompetence ( French mother ?) This is reminiscent if the sad French fans, players and staff blaming the ref for France loss to South Africa in the world cup. I think suspecting a referee's bias here is ignoring he did whistle for a penalty in a very good position for ...

Law 8.21 The kick must be taken within 60 seconds (playing time) from the time the team indicated their intention to do so, even if the ball rolls over and has to be placed again. So the clock correctly should not have stopped. But does law 8.27 apply? If the opposing team infringes while the kick ...
