They really shouldn’t win any of their Six Nations matches, but the physical effort can’t be questioned. Lovely try by the Italians at minute 79. And then a stout extra time defence. Classical Basteraud try as well. A full hearted effort by both teams.

What a farce - the score was 34 - 17 - with 4 tries scored.   Yet you mentioned only two tries.   One would think that Italy was the winner based on your comments and without regard to the situation

When can one ever rely on comprehensiveness when reading your comments on anything?

That’s a little harsh, I was simply celebrating the guts of the underdog.

Net advice - give a comprehensive report and there would be no problem.

Moz Absolutely agree. They do punch well above their weight. They are very well drilled and coached.

@Wardad 

Indeed. Supporting the underdog is just natural. 

The Boks expect your full support come the RC.
