@Catogrande 5/15 and 7/23 sound non Italian. (Not sure which way Traore' swings, giving him the benefit ...)

@booboo
Yeah, better than usual I’d say! -
@catogrande wasn't disputing that
-
@booboo There are a couple of guys called Traore that play in the A League and they look decidedly African so it would not surprise me if this one is not from there as well, In addition the number 19 played for England Under 20s and my London Irish team years ago so he could be another invitation player.

Lol at 20 Sebastien 'blacks'! Traore is from Guinea, but came over as a kid.

Surely it is Negri - who ruffled a lot of feathers in the same match last year with foul play. But, I don't imagine he changed his name by deed poll. Makes you wonder if the writer or sub-editor did it as a 'black' joke after the Willis incident... not expecting it would go public??

It's totally Negri, just so funny how it's been translated

Eddie Jones talking some shit about Ali and Liston before the game. So obviously an attempt to wind up Colt and the Italians. Eddie's losing his subtlety in his old age. He needs to try harder.

So the Italians are going to throw the fight cos of their affiliation to the mob then ?

Not too sure that Ital are really up to 6N standards, but they have played well in the last 2 games. Much more disciplined and their defence at times is top notch.

Based on the first 1.5 matches, Italy are streets ahead of the chasing pack

Fuck. Just fuck.

Italy look the fitter team going into the last 20.

If either Wales or Scotland take significant injuries in the next rounds then the Italy match could be nightmare

They seem to be where Scotland were a few seasons back - competitive but buggering up opportunity after opportunity from set pieces near the tryline.
