Wales were really under the pump against Japan until the Japanese 12 had a brain explosion and got YC with review that turned to a deserved RC

Have watched back a bit more and Ireland were lucky not to see more cards.

Officials from that game ruling themselves out of finals selection

Wow the Italian pack is beating up the SA pack big time. Not too dissimilar to what the French did to us.

[MiketheSnow]

Huge finish for Italy

Unless Australia beats England, NZ won't be making the SFs, even with a large win over Japan. The draw between England and Ireland means both teams will probably advance.

South Africans going into meltdown mode after that result against Italy.

They shouldn't

They had their chances

Didn't take them

No, bemoaning losing to Italy. How can they go from Craven to that seems to be the prevailing concern.

Actually we played last year in the NH u20 summer series in Italy and they were very good. Many of their u20s played in the URC. Our u20s dont have that kind of experience, so I expect a tough match. We have a good backline but our forwards always will struggle against them.

[ACT Crusader]

Italian forwards are big and mobile. Thought they were very good.
