[2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 1: France vs. Italy (06/02/2016)

[Tony Manx]

Not sure about the Italian kicker but Bezy is usually very reliable.....his first three were certainly not easy though but seems very hurried at time of kick?

Krackatow (sp?) had good game!! Raw but not really done anything wrong and some very good including his try!!

 

[profitius]

Butchered

 

[TheOvalBall]

Italy's running is impressive in this game, and their support play.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Campagnaro is having a great game.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Tip of the cap to Canna... great debut!

They seem to have taken a leaf out of Argentina's book.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Italy definitely the better team in this match.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Knock on by Gori in the build up there.

 

[Tony Manx]

France now officially in deep doo doo and not showing too much that can get them out of it!

Will be a battle between France and Scotland for the wooden spoon perhaps?!!

 

[Aristodemus]

France in a nutshell

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Very intelligent rugby being played by Italy's 9-10-12 axis, the difference in the sides.

 

[Tony Manx]

Only one winner here! France running it from everywhere but Italy just keep putting them back in their 22.....love to see error and territory stats for second half!!

And then they surprise you.....

 

[profitius]

I'd like to see Danty's pass again. But good try from France. Game on

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Both sides dead on their feet, bad lack of fitness from both teams.

 

[Which Tyler]

I'm loving this game. It's an absolute joy to see the French players given a licence to play rugby - if only they knew what to do with that licence.
Italy are resurgent, and looking a real force - mind they often do for the first 40 minutes of a 6N campaign; but it's always good to see.

 

[Tony Manx]

Good job Blanco owns a string of clothing stores.....he is now officially bigger than Budda!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Big fan of JP Doyle, probably my favourite referee, but he's ****ed that.
If France win now it'll be a travesty.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Agreed!

 

[Bluemoon]

Italy will need to go for the drop now. Italy seem to be out of steam, so they'll need to play sensibly for the next two mins.

 

[profitius]

wtf!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Take it back, Italy deserved to lose that for Parisse taking the DG.

What the hell?
