RWC: Italy v Canada (Pool B)

[MiketheSnow]

Tackled before the ball.

Penalty try.

[TeWaio]

Canada look dire, they've butchered a few chances so far including one of the worst drops on the line I've ever seen. This Steyn fella at No. 8 looks quality. We are going to murder Canada next week without getting our of second gear. Jordie to start at 10?

[Stargazer]

The ABs coaches should mix it up for this game to make it entertaining. A few forwards in the backline and a few backs in the pack.

[Stargazer]

Haha, speak to your team and speak to yourself as well.

[Stargazer]

It's not Heaton's night. First he drops the ball and spoils a certain try. Now, he concedes a penalty try and gets yellow.

[TeWaio]

20. Ardie

21. TJP

Back to the game at hand

Canada having to chip ahead because the Italians have been offside all night.

Poor from Owens and team.

[MiketheSnow]

England must be wondering how Poledri got away.

Same with the scrum half Braley.

[MiketheSnow]

Try of the night

Well done Canada

[MiketheSnow]

Great play from MOTM Poledri

Cracking try Italy

[African Monkey]

@MiketheSnow Polledri has had a field day tonight.

[Stargazer]

Italy has done what they had to do. Win and win well.

I really wonder who is going to win the Namibia v Canada game on 13 October. They're nos. 23 and 22 in the World Rankings. The two lowest ranked nations at the RWC.

[Bovidae]

I really hope Negri and Polledri play against SA and NZ.

[ACT Crusader]

Italy played well in attack but boy they were camped offside in defence.

Canadian rugby is in a hole and it’s hard to see them returning to their competitive state from the 90s.
