Team for Italy

[Puja]

You have to respect their right to do that.

And I am! It would be disrepectful of me if I didn't respect the gauntlet of disrepect that they have thrown down by not respecting us if I were to respect them. That'd feel like I wasn't respecting their disrespect. What I'm doing is respecting their disrespect by respecting them enough to disrespect them right back with the level of respect that they expect to receive.

Excellent work.






Respect.

[WaspInWales]

Complete lack of respect there!

any idea on the prognosis for Slade, Nowell, JJ and Mako?

any idea on the prognosis for Slade, Nowell, JJ and Mako?

From what I’ve read/remember. Mako is ahead of schedule and will there or thereabouts for first match. Slade has been days away from recovering for weeks. Nowell aggravated his injury the last time they were in Treviso and then had an appendectomy. He was touch and go for the opening two matches before the set backs. Mitchell has said they will give him as long as possible as he is so important. No idea on Joseph.

So they hold Nowell in place, yet have no 3rd scrum half or tighthead. Methinks someone needs to have a chat on priorities.

[Mikey Brown]

Yep. You can only gather from that that Cokanasiga’s lack of scrappiness and work over the ball is more of a worry than having any cover at all for SH/TH.

Prince Ludwig: Forgive me, Herr Blackadder... I have been neglecting my duties as a host. Please accept my apple-ogies.
Blackadder: I accept nothing from a man who imprisons his guests in a commode.
Prince Ludwig: I hope this scum has not inconweenienced you.
Edmund: It takes more than a maniac trying to cut off my goolies to inconweenience me.
Prince Ludwig: Good. If he had inconweenienced you, I was going to offer you his tongue.
Blackadder: Believe me, sir: if he had inconweeniened me, you would not have a tongue with which to make such an offer.
Prince Ludwig: Let me assure you, Herr Blackadder: if I no longer had a tongue with which to make such an offer, you would no longer have a tongue with which to tell me that, if I had inconweenienced you, I would no longer have a tongue with which to offer you his tongue.
Edmund: Yes, well, enough of this banter. Who the hell are you, sausage breath?

JJ is (allegedly) just muscle soreness; could have played if necessary

Does anyone know what time McConnochie's withdrawal is due to be this week?

Christ, these kits are fucking horrible.

[Scrumhead]

Pretty blatant body check from Hayward on Curry there

[Mikey Brown]

"Might as well wait for Godot"

Jesus christ, Barnes. Get a fucking grip.

Thanks.

[Mikey Brown]

Haha. Tuned in just in time for that hilarious bit of skill from Faz. Has this game been as shit as the score would suggest? Every time I've flicked it on everyone has just been stood around a collapsed scrum.

[WaspInWales]

Meh

Nice that Barnes mentioned Watson failing to take a difficult high ball in contact rather than Faz kicking out on the full

[WaspInWales]

Italy well offside

[Mikey Brown]

Wilson gained several extra yards of pace by wearing that 7 jersey.

[Adam_P]

Very undecided on Wilson Curry or Curry Underhill as our best flankers
