[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 552160, member: 57076"] hmmmmmm, as I've said before...based on last week (and both games for Wales), this will be conservative it seems. Tough defense, and not a lot of imagination or creativity, i.e. risk taking on attack. BUT....but but but, Italy's at home, and though they have ZERO ability to back up that first match on the road a week later, they've yet to show that they may at least back up that first win as not being a fluke by playing two consecutive home matches with some parity, in quality and intensity. They looked like steaming feces in Murrayfield, but maybe being home will awaken something.....and for Wales, maybe that win in Paris will given them the confidence to take more risks and go wide and quicker ball in stead of playing it safe like we both did (Wales and France) 2 weeks ago.... But I'm often too enthusiastic before a match, and then the hard reality hits me in the head again...and I can see myself anticipating the above, but really seeing like I said....defense and conservative offense.
