Italy v Scotland

[MN5]

Time to dust off an old meme…..

It should have been a RC against Turner. Straight to Zuliani's head with his shoulder. Reckless. Turner was back after 10 minutes while Zuliani had to leave the field and could not come back.

Hugely impressed with Lorenzo Cannone, a tackling machine for Italy.

Fuck you Scotland

Who goes first Starmer or Townsend?

The kit man

[MN5]

For some reason Townsend thought it would be sensible to omit the top two try scorers in Scottish history and a British Lion.....and put a halfback on the wing.

I guess it was only Italy, problem was they won.

8 minutes in to the 2nd half and Ben O'Keeffe is fucking me off. He's fucking Italy over.

In the first five minutes I thought Italy were going to be in for a hiding. Just tackling and shit kicks. But two tremendous tries, misfunctioning lineout for Scotland and playing in the pissing rain made it an arm-wrestle.

27 phases. The Scots got into the Italian 22, but held up in a maul that looked like to me like it was still moving......

The Scots took it to ground to try and get the ball back.

I watched the rapid recap highlights on Stan - for some reason they showed the missed drop goal attempt three times.

Those highlights didn't make me want to watch the whole game.

Scotland are shit.

Whoever is the Italian set piece coach earned his pay today.

[mariner4life]

@Nepia don't, it's ugly as fuck, not helped by absolutely torrential rain.

The 2 Italian tries.the highlight, the rest was box kicks, bombs and forward hit ups. And Ben blowing his whistle.

He's from Cork.

That figures, when he was tackling he often bottled it!
