@Bones

Good on Aki for at least trying to be honest.

Half hearted attempt. Thought it would be looked at, so went to say something then got swept away by the adulation and thought he'd hit and hope.

Ah. I hate that short of shit,

When Sexton is not playing, the Irish team looks pretty ordinary.

@cgrant

Ringrose, and not Sexton, was probably the biggest loss today. He’s the defensive leader and has been in outstanding form for the past 12 months, and he was a late withdrawal to make matters worse. In total Ireland were missing 8 starters, and came up against an excellent Italian side who probably put together their best 80 minutes 6ns performance. Obviously Ireland weren’t close to their best but to be honest they were probably as good as they were allowed to be. Full credit to Italy who are a very talented and well coached side.

I'm loving the Italian ambition. Great to see.

Yes, and despite their loss, they're playing much better than a few years ago. Kieran Crowley has improved this team considerably.

Is the 6N using the new variation for scrum half not going past the mid-line?

That ruling is just to protect us from this...

@Crucial yes most amusing.

I ask because I was watching ITA v IRE and the Irish scrum half was right up in his opposite's grill at one point.

[antipodean]

I still haven't watched this game and don't know the score, but judging by the fact the thread doesn't have 800 posts, Italy didn't win.
