          @Mattasaurus Yep.Gonna be a long night for the Italians. Really have to question their tier 1 status. They have just fallen apart.

                      agreed But it was against France , in France, plenty of calls (50/50s) to go their way yet in this tournament I expect.

                        Wrong call because it clearly did go in and was hooked and came out at the back.

                          Italy are just passengers in this game. Not even bothering to tackle now.

                            Ridiculous. Fun to watch France in this mood.

                            Italy seem to have hyped themselves up to much, all gung ho and flying at everything with zero accuracy and effectiveness.

                              @Jailbreak7 is odd cos thier d line is moving up and in position to make tackles, but they arent.

                                Next scrum the ball went under the locks feet. I don't mind scrum feeds a bit crooked but that was absurd. What is the AR doing?

                                  I can only suggest the 96 - 17 last weekend hasn't helped their mental fortitude.... where some teams galvanize under pressure.. others capitulate....

                                    hate how they ping you for holding when you clearly lose the ball

                                          This game looks like it will grind down to a glacial pace ....
