A somewhat underwhelming fixture given the next one (and I think there is another game on tonight somewhere)

Good crowd and atmosphere. Didn't realise how much camber there is on the Elland Road pitch, don't recall seeing that at Murrayfield or Scotstoun.
One word to anyone going tomorrow - the queues for the shuttle-bus started to build early and there were some problems with traffic.

I wish they could get someone better than John Inverdale doing the build up to matches. He really annoys me.

Canada playing fairly well so far. Would it be such a shock for them to beat Italy?

Excellent, excellent try. That and the Japanese try off the line-out are the 2 standouts for me so far.

End to End rugby. Brilliant Italy try just now 17 minutes into the and already 17 points on the board.

I saw no reason to go to the TMO for the disallowed Italian try. Clearly the linesman got that correct. Way too much over reliance on the TMO.

Just turned on the game, how can Cipriani have played 10 years of pro rugby and still have a pretty face like that.

Decent crowd for Canada v Italy. 38000 capacity and it looks mostly full.

Italy will be doing well to get any win in this group the way they are playing

Italy truly are a poor team. They are so undisciplined in defence.

I agree. I did not expect Italy to play this poor to be honest.

Entertaining match though, Canada are giving it a great go and are the better team.

Crazy decision by the touch judge there. The whole ground knew he wasn't in touch. The tempo from Canada is fantastic again today. DTH van der Merwe

And I am eating my words from earlier on. This game is fun. And that Canadian winger is really good

To be honest Italy can count them selves lucky to win that game.
Still a win is a win. But very hard luck to Canada. Brilliant effort and very unlucky not to win.

Re: Italy vs Canada, 26 September
Canada should have taken a leaf out of Japan's book and backed themselves to go for a try instead of taking that last 3 pointer - however they can also feel hard done by for the bizarre call from Jackson that cost them a good attacking position when Italy were all over the place ...

Re: Italy vs Canada, 26 September
Can't believe Canada didn't win that. Definitely the better team, I think they left at least three tries out there by taking the wrong option with the final pass or just not executing well enough.
Italy were pretty bad, there for the taking actually. Makes it all the more disappointing for Canada to miss that opportunity.

Gutted for Canada, they really deserved to win that game. Just shows that the better team on the day doesn't win.
I do have a sneaky feeling that the bigger nations are getting far too much rub of the green in regards to the officiating this RWC.

Well done Italy that win will mean a lot even though they were not the better side. Good work by Canada. They played some fantastic rugby today.

Still playing with Zebre, occasionally centre too, but not selected into the 31 man squad, and rightly so, overrated player imo.
Italy have no excuse for their pathetic form, they are playing in a top tier tournament for 15 years now and their teams are in a top tier competition since 2010. Georgia are arguably doing better taking everything into consideration and they are doing it the hard way, ie without imports.

no excuses, just Brunel's experience as Italy's coach has virtually ended, an in a bad way, some months ago and it can be seen watching tha headless bunch of hens we have turned into.
