[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 5: Scotland vs Italy (18/03/2017)

[Lé Ddanno]

Scotland shirts are horrible. They look like pool balls.

That's all I can comment on in a half as crap as this.

 

[McTallshort]

Italy are not even competitive. This is a joke

 

[Reiser99]

Have to agree, this is just dull. Maybe now with 2 tries they will up the tempo.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

He's making kicking look exceptionally difficult... It's not.

 

[profitius]

Thats the match I'd say. 0 from 3 kicks is going to zap the little confidence remaining from them.

 

[TheSaffycen]

With a country full of talented footballers, how haven't they got a guy who can kick a ball? I thought you'd have loads of guys who are great kickers but not much else.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

They're all chasing round balls

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Carlo Cannae has regressed so badly and is now awful kicking from hand too. The living legend in the studio would have been playing if not injured. Canna needs to be hidden from the limelight and nursed back to some kind of form. Mbanda and Gega doing alright but precious little to cheer, partly as a result of the soaking conditions (which should help keep the score respectable in the second half.

 

[Reiser99]

Any hope of Scotland letting go has clearly been thrown out the window. The are just letting Italy slow it down.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Hang your head in shame 15, **** pass.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Scotland will pull away, but it's just a shame nothing that nothing they can do today can possibly make up for what happened last week.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

There are zero arguments for Italy being in the 6N.
They are embarrassing to watch.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

There are zero arguments for Italy being in the 6N.
They are embarrassing to watch.

Oh come on Olyy people said the same about Sale and look at them now.

An alright team that plays in front of 2/3 people every home game.

 

[ratsapprentice]

There are zero arguments for Italy being in the 6N.
They are embarrassing to watch.

Except that the "proof" of Georgia being significantly better is based on them dicking the likes of Germany and Romania.

Unless of course you are arguing for a return to the 5N.

 

[ncurd]

Surely that's a second YC? If you keep infringing in the 5 after the first men should keep going off...

God Italy are ****....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm arguing that the whole Italian set up should be taken out behind the barn and shot.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The defence parted like the red sea for the 9 there and he missed it, that hurt to watch.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Italy are outplaying the fifth ranked team in the world away from home while having a bad day at the office. Behave yourselves!

Painful two botched tries. Really painful.

Scotland's limitations up front being exposed.

 

[Goodey]

Italy should have 16 points. They have 0 through no fault but their own backs.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Scotland back to infringing add they have a through the 6n. Scotland giving a lesson in collapsing mauls, Italy giving a lesson in missing kicks and butchering tries. 2 very negative teams here.
