Brilliant display from Italy at the end there. Well done.

not one for the girls in the backs last 20mins. 1 small mistake, a missed touch, and a deserved Italy win.

Expect a higher quality match next. Will France turn up?

[Kermit power]

I loved seeing the Italian players in the stands celebrating with their supporters 10 or more minutes after the final whistle went!

Not difficult to see what the result meant to them.

Ben fatto Italia...

[DocJock]

Great match.
Crap result
Well played Italy, they bossed the final 1/4.

France are well overdue a game of sublime rugby, that we all know they are capable of.

They can do whatever they feel like on the day.

If I was a betting man, I'd run away. Fast.

Well done Italy, great game to watch!

I'm sure he is...... Just makes for better watching if the commentators are (or pretend to be) vaguely impartial!!!

[madbadger]

Pretty well balanced, but Wales should have made more of their possession.

[hornetrider]

We are motoring through the phases.

Bloody hell I'm glad Sam 'the second coming' Burgess is nowhere near the England squad currently. He's been terribly poor so far in the match against Exeter today, and wasn't a lot better last week at The Rec against Northampton.

Edited by Cyder on Saturday 28th February 16:03

He just doesn't appear comfortable in the centres. Gets stepped easily, goes for big hits and misses, and gets taken to ground easily despite his size (league prioritises tackles at chest height but a good old fashioned leg tackle will always put a big man to ground). However, his qualities are such that I suspect he will begin to find his way in the game, but potentially in the pack.

On another note, awesome win for Italy. Superb performance by the pack. That last play was superb considering the pressure. And shame on the scrote in the crowd who was showing Parisse the finger after the final whistle.

France are just making a few little mistakes - otherwise I think they'd be in front
