Wales vs Italy, Six Nations 2020

[dogmeat]

@Steven-Harris said in Wales vs Italy, Six Nations 2020:

I reckon if you gave Georgia more consistent big rugby against the other 5, they will gradually improve

This was the argument for including Italy.

The best team outside the top 5 in my lifetime was undoubtedly Romania. Limited game but they were a real handful at home in the 70's and early 80's. Regularly won against France. The fall of communism and then rise of professionalism fucked them though.

I reckon the fish heads will be comfortable with Italy. Plenty of sponsorship and corporate hospo opportunities. Rome's lovely in the spring dontchaknow. Who gives a fuck about the quality of the rugby.....
