3 Simone Ferrari

so as a prop he is the tractor version

[Duluth]

Italy dominating possession. Canada look a bit shit

[African Monkey]

Very soft defence.

[nzzp]

That's the game.

Sad fro Canada, they have slipped a long way back in the world. Disappointing

[Duluth]

Very soft defence.

..and again

[KiwiMurph]

Credit to Italy though - they are actually throwing it around - so much different to their usual style. Good stuff.

[Stargazer]

Geez, if Italy scores this easily against Canada, what kind of monster score can we expect from the ABs and Springboks when they play the Canadians?

[MiketheSnow]

Pitch is going from disappointing to dangerous.

Think they may regret only having two matches in Sapporo.

[African Monkey]

@Duluth That was pathetic. Canada making Italy look like world beaters.

[KiwiMurph]

Namibia might be eyeing up a win v Canada.

[African Monkey]

I haven't seen a lot of him, but Jake Polledri looks like a star in the making. Very impressed with him.

[KiwiMurph]

How the heck does Olmstead not make this Canadian 23?

[MiketheSnow]

He's buying all the beer all tour

[Stargazer]

Hahahaha
