    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....

                      that was a nice break by Italy, undone by a knock on

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

                          I see we're just going to ignore France being 2m offside at every phase.

                              and they are coming in to the rucks at 3 and 9 o'clock too... pretty poor

                                      Honestly would any other team get away with such blatant repeated offsides and laying all over the ball?

                                      Sure as shit ABs wouldnt

                                          There was one ruck in particular that was just ridiculous.
