While italy didnt exactly light the world on fire they showed some good flair at times and I was impressed with their line defence. One thing i've noticed about the wallabies of late is their lack of patience. they showed what patience can do in their win over the All Blacks in HK but in their last few matches they seemingly want to score off every line break they make. I think Barnes' stats from the match crtainly dont do his performance justice, his handling was generally good at times and his kicking was superb, i would give him a run against France.</blockquote>
