Italy WC chances

[Irish-bulldog]

Love that teddy will give this Italian team some real class in the backs, brown and PV, a decent young halve with johns. Not sure how campo will go, he's old and busted lol. But the Italians are a smokey for a semi final showing.

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Is he a big enough name that it will actually get Italians in Italy watching their games?

He played in a record equalling 5 RUWCs so is well known to any Italian union fan.

Interestingly "Mauro Bergamasco a développé une entreprise (M2M) qui produit des vidéos pour la télévision, qui opère dans la communication"

Can someone edit the wiki page(s) to give league a mention:

Good news - starting to get some coverage in mainstream Italian media.

They also met up with the Italian consulate in Sydney as well I believe.hopefully something domestic comes out of the visit

The Italians will give fiji a good go... Wouldn't surprised me if they do end up beating them... Having tedesco in the team can change anything

 

[grouch]

Hmm.. They were terrible against Ireland, I can't imagine them being much better after this:

[Dakink]

Fuxk me. When will they learn.

 

[Irish-bulldog]

Oh dear teddy ...

 

[Lemon Squash]

LOL Wakeman's a solid unit too, would of given Teddy a good belting.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Why would Tedesco have anything to do with Wakeman's girlfriend?

Anyway whatever the stupid drama, it's a bad bit of management. Out on the piss during the tournament can't be good for anyone. This undermines IRL in several ways.

 

[Ari Gold]

They didn't play as a team on Sunday. As good as Ireland were, something stank about Italy's performance so it wouldn't surprise me if there were tensions before the game. Some very poor efforts across the 17

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Didn't see the game. How did Micro go?

 

[Jim from Oz]

Didn't see the game. How did Micro go?

He didn't play!!

 

[hutch]

Didn't see the game. How did Micro go?

Hasn’t been picked for this weeks game either. Why would they bring him here and not play him? Surely it would generate publicity back in Italy.

 

[Ari Gold]

Because they are absolutely clueless!

I guess Italy are trying to make the QF's that's why they haven't picked micro, I've never seen him play is he decent ?

They've got no chance now right? Unless they beat the USA by 70 and then beat Fiji

 

[Scubby]

Johns certainly looked way out of his depth.
