RWC: Australia - Italy (11-09-2011, 15:30)

Australia to win by at least 25 points. Personally though, Id like to see Italy keep it close.
 
Wallabies will probably still be on a high from the trinations win and are in danger of not taking italy as serious as they should. I think the game will be closer then most expectatons. id be happy to be proven wrong but nothing in the last few years has indicated to me that they have exorcised themselves of the mental yo yos they have as the game against samoa proved.
 
I'm expecting a Quade Cooper spear tackle. If that's not possible, I can settle with Radike Samo.


FORZA ITALIA!!!
 
I think aussies will start the game with something to proove, then they will slack off during the mid game and Italy will come back, then we will put fresh meat on field and win by 15+ points
 
After seeing what Romania did to Scotland and Japan did to France, I won't even bother to analyse and make a prediction for this game. I do hope, for the sake of my personal neutral entertainment, that Italy put up a great fight.
 
New Zealand won conftorbly and Argentina pushed england close so I think its just the NH teams strugling... Australia will win and win easily!!
 
Silly stuff
And god, Orquera!!!!!
I want to scream but its 5.54 am, someone would kill me in my flat.

Garcia's head is strongest than steel.
 
25 minutes gone and the Aussies lead by 3-0.

******* down in Auckland, Italians really up for this and keeping the Wallabies at bay, and when they turn-over look threatening with ball in hand.

Commentator had it just right, Rolland trying to stamp his authority on the game, no one appreciating it.


Cooper play acting like a twat again.

Argentina Expats just butchered the Aussie scrum again, powerful stuff, love how their flanks and 8 don't fanny a out looking everywhere but the scrum, just put their hands down and push.

Yaaaas, Cooper tries to step in his own 22 with no support, steps straight into 3 players- Italy penalty

Decent game for the 'purists'

Aussies are playing like crap, this game is stupid also, fuking italians kicking 24-7
 
Italy are playing smart. Second half will be good.
 
If aus play like this again, we might as well leave and go home now, could be biggest upset in world rugby
 
Italians doing very well. Be interesting what gameplan the wallabies have after hafltime.
 
Just need to tweak a few parts of the game plan. And they need to play with a bit more energy.
 
Theres been a few oppurtunities that could have been good with an extra pass. looking at you Quade cooper. Pass the effing ball!!
Line speed out of defense has been slow as well.

Interesting cup so far considering that none of these games have been clear blow outs. I'm loving it so far.
