Re: Cocks Versus Macaronis

If we played with more self-awareness we would be a danger to un-experienced teams like France. I still believe that with a proper replacement at 10 and at fly-half we would be almost a tier-1 team. Canna is a good surprise as Centre and the young Fischetti-Cannone-Licata -Zilocchi-Riccioni are grea...

Re: Munster v Benneton.

Well I didn't see the game but from reading the thread well done Munster but very hard lines Treviso, would liked to have seen you win but Owens handed that to Munster.

Benetton results are down to Kieran Crowley, who is a very good coach. Canada have fallen off a cliff since he left.

It is now the 2nd time in a few days that I hear Conor evoking his "departure" (I'd assume after the WCup). I hope that his work with Italy will continue. I totally appreciate his work done in these 4 yrs with the Italian movement as a whole (considering also Benetton results).
