If anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGpUrCPqdPg The gulf in quality between this teams and the championship is clear.

Re: Tips and advices: my daughter goes to Dublin.
I’ve walked back to my hotel from the San Siro at night. If this girl has been to Milan, the North Side of Dublin has nothing to cause her any fears. We live near Milano so she is quite trained to recognize and avoid danger at first sight. If you have done that walk after a football match, you are ...

Re: Tips and advices: my daughter goes to Dublin.
Dublin is a bit shit and expensive for what you get, compared to most european capitals. You should have sent her to the west coast, where at least she has access to the best beaches and scenery in Ireland. Hope she has a great time. She has already been with her school in Galway in 2019. She loved...

Piccolo Flute. The highest pitched orchestral instrument. Now my daughter plays it very well, next year she should be the piccolo player in her school sinfonic orchestra.

Re: World Rugby U20 Championship - 24 June to 14 July
As against England and BabyBoks, French pressure seems to mount and mount, Ireland likely to crumble in the second half, unless a strike of genius or a brainfart like a head contact or a high tackle from a French player can swing the momentum.

French should win it, but Irish can make life hard to the Galois and if a card comes into play... who knows

Re: World Rugby U20 Championship - 24 June to 14 July
Live On World.rugby.
Fiji obviously won. Deserved completely.
Our defense was a farce.
If it’s sunny, Italia will loose against Japan (or Argentina).
I foresee a red card inside the first 15’ and the Japanese
winning running around our poor defense.

Re: World Rugby U20 Championship - 24 June to 14 July
It seeks me that Battara starts at SH, he has shown in the 6 nations lots of time that in the rucks he has this ethic: never pass the ball until the defense is completely in line.
There is a hole in defense? The good manner is to never explore it. Never. It is unfair.
Bring Casilio on please

More shocking stuff from Italia.
After scoring a try, they win a defensive line out near the tryline, but they loose the ball and the Georgians score a gifted try.
