Italy v France 6N
-
The Italian 15 is a class attacking threat. Christiano Culleno.
-
Italians showing better individual skills than England yesterday. Certainly in their handling.

They look dangerous when they get into the groove. Huge improvement from a year or two ago. Great game to watch - pity about the commentary...
-
They have to stop trying to run it out of their 22 though. Who do they think they are? NZ under Foster?
-
France so many penalties.

France were poor and nearly paid for it.
If Italy had a clas 9-10 they would cause even more problems
Yes. I am more than a little nervous for next week.
-
I've only seen highlights, but these last two/ mabie three years have to be italys best in a long long time if not ever
-
As went the U20s so too the full team
Fickou was immense
-
Under 20 games have been excellent as well
Watched the Ireland v Wales game , the first five for Ireland Sam Prendergast is going to be a star , looked like Johnny Sexton right now now but with so many more strings to his bow
Looks like he could play International rugby right now
Is very big for a first five listed at 6’4 91kgs has already played for the Leinster top side . -
Just watched the replay. Great game and Italy so close! French ill-discipline was terrible.
Italy could cause a few problems during the Six Nations, and also the RWC. Underestimating them will be seriously dangerous, because they now have a well-coached team that will punish anyone who does.
Going by what I've seen of the U20 game, Italy also have some talent for the future.
