Hmm, well got to start somewhere.

The Irish Facebook page was claiming the Russian embassy was given 500 tickets. Have to assume they didn't use too many of them.

I don't think this is a bad result, especially for Italy.

yeah it's not bad, and tickets were 10eu at both matches don't forget, so it's not like it was free admission like it often is for other international matches at this level.

The RLEF article also states 200 Welsh fans travelled over for the match, which I'm pretty sure was an exaggeration. From what I heard and saw it looked more like 50, which is still impressive.

I find that hard to believe. Even if it were only 50. But I'm pessimistic. I hope I'm wrong, 50 Welshman, passionate about their international rugby league team. It's a dream.

My daughter was in hospital during this game and I ended up watching the Eng vs NZ game with a South Walesian who supports South Wales Ironmen. He mentioned a fair few of his mates had gone across for the game in a big group. I think you are wrong.

Added to this the North Wales Crusaders fans are among the best in the sport, their away support can sometimes outnumber the home fans against some of the smaller League 1 clubs. Wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of them had made the trip to Italy.
