I don't think scottish injuries will affect that much the performance, my only question is only if Scotland will be able to score a few tries, since I'm convinced, and I hope, Haimona or Allan will not repeat the terrible kicking performance of Twicknham

Re: 6N Round 3: Scotland v Italy, 28 February
Quite a damming stat of Italy -
Of their last 19 games since the end of the 2013 Six Nations – where they signed off with a memorable victory over ireland – the Italians have beaten only Samoa and Fiji. During that period, they have also lost to Samoa as well as Japan

Re: 6N Round 3: Scotland v Italy, 28 February
Aqualung, welcome to the house of fun. I wouldn't worry too much about Haimona's kicking, but rather be very concerned about the number of tackles he has missed in the first two games. I'm fairly certain Scotland will be looking to attack the 10-12 channel. Possibly bringing Schlong in at first receiver to blast a hole.
On the other hand, Parisse has made a huge amount of carries and could well be up against Beattie who is so far out of form he could very well be offered a contract for Embra.

Not sure he'd get into the 1872 cup winning back row Jimbo!
Had to get that in there before FES did

Re: 6N Round 3: Scotland v Italy, 28 February
I think our eastern brethren should pause to remember the old kiwi maxim that a good team gets better by remembering their defeats and vowing never to feel that way again, while a poor team spends its time cherishing the memory of that rare victory.
Last season the match uppermost in the Glasgow mindset was the semi-final defeat of the previous season, which goes a long way to explaining their stellar performance against Munster in the (winning) semi.

Welcome Aqualung.
You may not be overly confident about the result, but you will see from the above two pictures of what can be regarded as our respective nations' female archetypes, that you have a lot to be joyful about in other respects.

I'm off to this game, my first 6Ns match as a neutral so non of the nerves this time. Just get back to sit back and watch my Scottish mate suffer! Can't wait though should be a good un given the way Scotland have attacked so far and hope to see them give a good account.

Italy have a decent team - I'm predicting a Scottish win between 5-10 points.
In the backs I really rate Morisi - just a pity Campangaro is injured - and Venditti is a handy player too. Mclean should help bring a bit of composure too.

Re: 6N Round 3: Scotland v Italy, 28 February
pack is fine, Castro out is not too bad, he's really downhill now. Cittadini much better than Aguero but not too bad. all the injuries (Canale, Campagnaro, Masi) plus some strange choices by Brunel, who still not consider Benvenuti, Sgarbi and above all Esposito, will expose Bacchin and Visentin, two average players who clearly are not up to this level, to a very bad day at the office. Since I think we'll try to play again ball i hands (hopefully our defense will not fall asleep again in key-moments), I think a few tries will be scored, mostly by Scotland, unfortunately, with your backs shredding apart our rookies. Unless Scotland should have a horrible day, I thin a 15-18 margin is on cardsGeorge Carlin wrote:Italy team is up - Aqualung - your thoughts please:

Some good players in that Italy side, and interesting to see Favaro playing against us given his impending move to the 1872 losers.
In the backs Gori, Venditti, Morisi and MacLean are all dangerous, although I'm pleased we don't have to face Campagnaro or Benevenutti instead of Bacchin (no idea) and Visentin.

Venditti is basically the Italian Sean Lamont. A bulldozer in short.

nah. both are limited, Venditti is even stronger, but Lamont is faster and better player.

Re: 6N Round 3: Scotland v Italy, 28 February
You've got to love world governing bodies. They have issued clarification on the time incident against Wales:
- The laws say that the game should have been restarted
- However, they back the decision made by the referee.....
I suspect the last sentence is the key bit - they messed up in the last game, but because the laws have been clarified for the future it means that the decision made in the Wales game was correct...
- The laws say that the game should have been restarted
- However, they back the decision made by the referee.....
Gobshites wrote:Following a request from World Rugby High Performance Referee Manager Joël Jutge for a law interpretation, the members of the World Rugby law interpretation group have acted quickly to clarify Law 5 in relation to when there is time to take a restart near the end of a match and when time has elapsed.
As such, the clarification is as follows: The try-scoring team may elect to take the conversion or not. Providing they decline to take the kick or take the kick within the time remaining, a restart will occur and the match will end at the next stoppage within law. Time is taken from the moment the ball is struck.
The same logic applies to a penalty kick to touch. As long as the kick is taken before 80 minutes has elapsed the lineout will take place and the match will end at the next stoppage within law. Again, time is taken from the moment the ball is struck.
This clarification is part of a new, more agile law interpretation process that came into effect last year, and is to be applied effective immediately.
The members of the law interpretation group assigned to provide clarity on this law were: John Jeffrey (Chairman, Rugby Committee), Agustin Pichot (recent player representative), Nick Mallett (coach representative), Harry Schuster (World Rugby Council), Chris le Fevre (World Rugby Council).
World Rugby backs the decision made by match officials at the end of the Scotland v Wales RBS Six Nations match at Murrayfield on 15 February where this issue arose. This clarification is a new interpretation that will provide certainty for any future issues of this nature.
I suspect the last sentence is the key bit - they messed up in the last game, but because the laws have been clarified for the future it means that the decision made in the Wales game was correct...

Re: 6N Round 3: Scotland v Italy, 28 February
Not sure I disgree with the Finn decision, as the laws stand it is right
If the law needs to be changed then so be it, but to complain when the decision is right on the day is a little bit silly (IMO)

I think we can see where tactics will be heading in future. Big punt , chasers who leap into the air with gay abandon = penalties and sending offs. How to make rugby appealing to the masses er maybe not then.
How many contested up and unders are we going to see this weekend then? Oh and red cards too.

Agree with this.
I think we need to move on - the laws are obviously the issue, and there's nothing the appeal committee could have some about that

BUT this is no different than it has been for several years - and for several years the decision would have been the same (In fact often a red would have been given) - so I am not sure why it suddenly becomes such a huge issue all of a sudden

When I was 16, I had major facial surgery that resulted in my giving up solid food for six months, with a diet consisting entirely of Petit Filou yoghurt, smoothies, meat blitzed into a fine paste, and copious amounts of codeine.
This Finn Russell decision is worse. It is the biggest travesty of justice since the murder of Steve Biko. I'm off to write some protest songs. Thank Christ that a lot of things rhyme with 'Finn'.
P.s. I'm leaning towards Horne at 10, even if it totally reams Glasgow against Munster.

Well the timing couldn't have been better. At least he's back for England and Ireland when we'll really need him.
Still a joke though.

You didn't go into a pub in Glasgow and ask for a soft drink did you??
