So....Italy are gonna make it afterall?

[RugbyFuture]

Does this mean that soon we will see Italy as the equals rather than the underdogs?

does this spell good things for the system of bringing countries up to speed?

Are you talking about this? http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-match-report/italy-stun-france-for-historic-win-20110313-1bsj0.html

Congrats on their first major scalp after years of coming close to claiming one (unless you count Ireland, Scotland or Wales? as major scalps). FOr once the ref didn't stuff up denying them a rightful victory!

Can't think of too many other better stadiums than a fast track at Stadio Flaminio, packed full of loud gauls with the sun setting in the backround.

P.S. I know this sounds very homo-erotic but Mirko Bergamasco looks like a Michelangelo cherub with them rosy cheeks. Haha

Well played Italia, congrats

That's a fantastic result, good on them.

 

[Burke's Boot]

Great result for Italy and the game of rugby.

 

[Reddy!]

Fantastic Italy - I think they went pretty close to beating Ireland earlier in the 6-Nations...So England to win the 6-Nations then?

 

[Jnor]

No way, Italy for 6N champs now!

 

[Blue]

Did Italy win or did France lose?

You know what they say, the french are predictibly unpredictable.

BTW, Larno, your avatar - get him some hypnotherapy to convince him he can make a tackle, and get him onto the bench ahead of that useless streak of choke Sexton. Thanks.

No doubt it's been tried already. Shock therapy maybe?

Probably better off sticking with Sicknote for now and hoping someone like Ian Keatley or even young Patrick Jackson makes it in a few years time.

Gilroy looked the business for the U-20s. If he's still in that form in a year's time, the then 27 year old Sexpest can sling his hook as ROG does one last brief stint educating the real future 10.

Do you mean somebody else? Craig Gilroy's a winger last time I checked (and a very promising one at that).

 

[Thomond78]

Meh, granted, my attention was wandering but, hell, Sexton's just a poor first centre; we might as well use an exceptional winger.

But whatever therapy it takes to get iHump to tackle - hypnotherapy, shock therapy, Troublegum played on a loop - it's worth trying; anything rather than having to watch Sexton fail again and listen to blue bleating about how it's everyone else's fault but poor little Johnny Geniuspants.
