Wales vs Italy, Six Nations 2020

Why are Italy even in the 6 Nations Rugby comp..?.normally I would be the first to promote the global game ,but after 20 years since their inclusion , they never even looked like anything other than wooden spooners..

@sparky Georgia I reckon would be a hell of a lot more competitive especially at home..have Italy ever won an away game..?

Beat Scotland at Murrayfield in 2007 and 2015.

USA or Japan or South Africa joining the Six Nations instead of Italy would involve a lot of air miles, but might make more commercial sense. The game has failed to kick on in Italy in the last decade.

Which BBC executive decided to let Mad Bastard Krusty in the commentary box?
Perhaps they wanted a bit more variety than Davies' interminable, repetitive "space out wide....gone now" and "why would he do that?"

The last time these two teams met each other, Italy won easily. Georgia is no better than Italy. Japan could be the most interesting choice but the calendar could be a major problem because of the time difference.

6 Nations needs to add possibility to relegation down to European Nations Cup to make things more interesting.
Scotland and Italy were the most vocal in disagreeing with promotion-relegation in WR's Nations Championship due to self-interest.

@Steven-Harris The problem is that the only solution is reducing the 6 Nations to a 5 Nations. Georgia isn't good enough to replace Italy in the 6 Nations.
See the link below for the most recent test results of Georgia (incl the RWC):

See my previous response. Georgia wouldn't be more competitive.

An easy win but Pivac and Haywood (defence) will be very happy keeping Italy scoreless.
Best I've seen of Halfpenny since Lions in Australia.
Tompkins reminded me of Tim Horan. Straight, fast running with ball in both hands.
Still not convinced with North at centre (13).
Start Tompkins next match with Parkes.
Backrow well balanced.
Solid start from Wales.
Georgia
