Since I've been watching - the 15 min mark or so - Italy have been the better side. More disciplined, more structured, more effective. Edit: Aaaand Allen makes a liar of me. That makes 1000 shit posts for me
Scots maybe overplaying slightly? Hogg's run from his own 22 a case in point. Yeah, he saw a gap and made a nice feint to make a half gap for himself, but the downfield punt was the percentage play.
It's not a game one might hold up as an example to the unconverted, no. Thoroughly enjoyed it, for all that. Azzurri try here would be the cherry.
My worry is that Parisse dots it down and Weeman thieves a lead in the draft. Italians not missing Castro, one notes.
Ha, penalty try!!!! Surely even Allan can't miss this? Moot point as the clock will be up. & another debutant gets a yellow. Forza Italia!!!
You give MOTM to a back? I understand McLean can kick very far but.. really? Edit: It's possible they wanted to conduct a fast interview in English, but if so they should have at least picked Furno
Furno would've been a solid shout for MOTM. Parisse, for my quid tho. Boringly predictable as that is. They need a place kicker worth shit tho. Haimona and Allan piss away the pack's stirling work.
With England and Ireland to come I think it's a fair bet the Scots will have a wooden spoon for their porridge.
Drew Mitchell's tailor wants shooting. He's burst out of that jacket. Hate to be so metro, but it's stretched taut across his gut.
I struggle to empathise with those who have tailors and/or shoot them Did Prince Phillip write this post?
I'm the scruffiest bastard you'll ever meet (last wore a suit 18 months ago for my Auntie Jean's funeral), but a jacket that fits is just fundamental, surely? It's the BBC, you heathen convict. Sort it out.
