[2023 Six Nations] Italy vs France - 5 February 2023

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Suicide in rugby form.

 

[Wasps92]

Well I'm turning this off. I was actually concerned that Italy might give England a game next week. No chance.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Dropped?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Lol Italian was practically horizontal in that ruck going for the ball. "Good competition".

 

[Wasps92]

Varney ******* about at the back of the scrum instead of getting the ball out.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

France having an attack of the Hoggs

 

[Gavin]

Blimey, those stands are very empty
Less than 50%?

Look empty but it's a 70,000 capacity

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a kick

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Wtf was that? France knocked on, Italy then lose possession in the next ruck and France get to keep the ball!?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Look empty but it's a 70,000 capacity

Isn't that pretty small?
Think most others in the comp are >80k

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Principality is 73K

Off the top of my head, it'd be smaller than Twickenham and SdF about the same as MillStad, but bigger than Murrayfield and Lansdown

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Wow, Landsdowne is teeny, 51K

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Magic lad

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Italy have been well below my expectations but are making a game of it against the 2nd ranked side, so I'll hang fire on criticism.

 

[Gavin]

When you think the previous stadium was 30K, arguably anything less than 40K people would look empty in a 70K stadium.

Italy would never sell out IMO

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some of the Italian defenders look absolutely shattered - halftime can't come soon enough

 

[BPM]

Wow, Landsdowne is teeny, 51K

Only 3 stands

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

5 points down at halftime having shat the bed. I really thought France would have their game face on but they are their usual complacent self against Italy. A good chance this will come down to the wire.

 

[AlRums]

They may be losing but that's a decent scoreline for Italy so far
