St Johnny!!!
Well its more likely than them mentioning Chav Henson
On the bench for LW today after yet another injury!!!!
Parisse is teh awsumz.
Edit. How good have the scrums been today....hardly any nonsense.
Hope the L'Oreal kid is at hooker next week!
Pourquoi AA?
Goooooo on you ugly mofo!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOL!
Castogiovanni!!!
Very poor darts.
Great try italy.
Well worked, bloody hell Italy will murder us 😯
Here comes bastardo......
The french do a good line in monsters.
You get the feeling that the french will have a real period of pressure soon. Wtf have Italy just taken their OH off!!!
Italy really need to start listening to the ref too.
Not being helped by their decision making. Did they think Owens was just going to let them stand around all day?
Forza Azzurri!!!!!!!
Yhe thing that got me with that one wrecker was that only one french bloke was there and he was only making a token effort!
Cripes! The fur is flying now!
Owens you ****!!
Wonderful!!!!
yyyaarrhrhhhhhhghhhhhhH!
Absolutely awesome by Italy
Classy Italy and cracking result!
Well that gives the grand slam to the saes 😥
Well done Italy very well played 😀
Chuffed to bits for the Italians.
Best game of the opening weekend! Well done Italy!
Pigface, stop whining! 😆
Italy could have their best ever 6N's....you can see them beating Wales and Scotland.
Brilliant fun and result. Good reffing IMO but glad those calls didn't hand it to France. Awesome weekend of rugby!
Previous question answered. Scotland at home, better than Italy away!!!
Italy will murder wales.
Irdland england a big game next.week.
oh great Italy come to Murrayfield next week on the back of that win!
and Wales have to go to France after that result......
Yesterday I was saying a welsh grand slam and if not, an England championship due to beating france and putting 100 points past Italy, but loosing to Wales as England always find a way to mess up - one grand slam in 18 years. What do I know!
(I embarrassed to say that after brilliant rugby matches I also enjoyed the Man City v Liverpool match this afternoon. 😉 ) should I feel slightly debased/ dirty? 😉
Yes but not slightly, extremely. Get off the thread!!! 🙂
Scotland or Wales for the spoon then? Based on this weekends efforts.
Please make it Wales! Pretty pretty pretty please 🙂
Careful what you wish for Tom because, as i daid last week, if england come to cardiff looking for a grand slam and wales looking to avoid a wooden spoon it'll be a hell of a game.
I tell you what, if that turns out to be the case and it is the game that it should be. Then I wouldn't be totally upset at england losing a slam.
An amazing game in that situation would be awesome
wrecker - MemberFlippin heck, if our choices for lions 8 is faletau or Morgan; we're in trouble.
Good job that every single home nation has at least one quality no8 at the moment, then?
wrecker - MemberFaletau is a plodder. Consistent, does everything quite well without doing anything brilliantly. Morgan is the opposite, flaky even but he can change a game when in the mood.
Astonishing! Such rubbish I'm wondering why I'm bothering to type!
anagallis_arvensis - MemberThe ref got that one wrong, not SOB.
the ref got a lot wrong at the breakdown hence all the shoeing going on, it was just a shame it took Wales till halftime to get the memo.
When will the refs stop Irish teams 'accidentally' falling on the wrong side of the ruck. Sexton did it 3 times at least. He would have been carded if he'd been anything other than Irish.
12 trees and Manu for England. Barritt is useless.
+1
Philby - MemberBest game of the opening weekend! Well done Italy!
If your idea of a great game is one where the French forget to turn up, then you are right.
Tom B - MemberItaly could have their best ever 6N's....you can see them beating Wales and Scotland.
Oh so one eyed! What makes England and Ireland so safe?
Oh so one eyed! What makes England and Ireland so safe?
Cos they aren't as poo at rugby as Wales and Scotland? 😉

Magnanimous in defeat, and rightly in praise of les Azzuri. Superb display by them today. Superb. Orquera was wonderful, I think he got MOM, or at least I hope he did.
