[RWC2023] France vs Italy (06/10/2023)

[IT157]

Oh man. If only Allen was faster. Damn.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

There is kicking to relieve pressure and there is kicking to create pressure.

There is kicking to relieve pressure and there is kicking to create pressure.

Then there is kicking because your devoid of any other ideas.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

France and New Zealand will be going into the QF having had almost zero physical challenge or defensive pressure for a month. I don't think that's a good thing.

I'm gonna chalk that up to relieving pressure on the brain and coaching staff

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

And there is kicking because it'll look cooler than passing.

Exclusively French though.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

And then there is kicking cause you want folks in the corner seats to have a souvenir.

Exclusively Scottish though.

Finn Russell would like a word.

Well most likely Ireland and SA will bring them some real pressure then.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

That free kick just about summed it up.

 

[IT157]

Well most likely Ireland and SA will bring them some real pressure then.

But they won't be well prepped for it. That was the point being made.

When done well it is, it's why DP is so much better than that mouthy scrum cap wearing Australian winger who plays for Ireland, forget his name.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Finn Russell would like a word.

I will not be saying anything positive about him or them until I am giving empty platitudes to forlorn Scots in Paris tomorrow.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Capuozzo subbed due to eye discomfort and looking incredulous. The guy should have been a star of the tournament.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Adesso!

 

[spursindevon]

The comeback has started

 

[IT157]

Good patience by Italy

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Nothing in that.

 

[ncurd]

Not a card but it's foul play.

 

[IT157]

Lol. That is nothing. Shoulder to chest.
