Nervous. I fear a classic by France. Slow start, lack of commitment, lack of form.

Not at all happy with moving Woki to lock. It didn't help Iturria either.

At least Hererro sees it. They've flattered to deceive with Dupont almost holding it together alone. And even he's started to make mistakes: in particular, losing the ball in contact when trying to play as a 3rd prop.TheFrog wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 1:04 pm Hererro makes a point about Toulouse and the Toulousain. The team is performing poorly and it is for all to see. But the concern is that the 7 Toulousain in the French team bring that poor level of performance into the 6N....
We will soon know....

Every year we ask the same question. The excitement builds through the week. The passion of the anthem. Is this it? Is the the year the Italians roar and stun the world?
Er…prob not.

As Adamson is the referee, how long before the first Torq meltdown?

Atonio stinking up the game already. Too slow to support Aldritt = pen. Gets bummed in the scrum (the only thing you actually expect him to do okay) = pen and then try.

6 penalties against France.... we are the only team in the world that dominates territory like that and feel the need to infringe at every opportunity to level out the game....
As expected, fitness is not there. We are pedestrian and don't manage to get over the gain line....

How long was Adamson going to give Ita with that ruck on their own line? Clueless ref.

Typical... Willemse gets the ball from the lineout and gains 20m unopposed, goes to ground, pile up and momentum lost. And we are back to going backward...

We will win, but not sure it will be remembered as an easy win. Plus I doubt we'll get the bonus point. And again, we'll be the only leading team not winning by a margin higher than 30pts.C69 wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 3:39 pmYou will win easily.TheFrog wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 3:37 pm 6 penalties against France.... we are the only team in the world that dominates territory like that and feel the need to infringe at every opportunity to level out the game....

I think that's down the to the sheer power of the front row?

Easy BP win on the cards at a canter. You won't have to get out of second gear.
Your bench will destroy Italy. The last 20 mins Italy will crumble.

We keep saying this. I remember their first match ever in 6N when they beat Wales. I really want them to progress but let’s see them win a few games or be competitive in a complete tourne before we get ahead of ourselves.petej wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 3:25 pmMaybe England as well if Eddie is in charge.I like neeps wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 3:23 pm I would bet a bit of money that Italy beat Wales and Scotland within the next 3 years.
