He mentioned in a previous interview that there were 6 players he'd spoken to. Don't know who the other 3 would be

Best of luck

Sorry for the RR

The chances of us convincing any of these 3 to defect to Italy are next to none.

What we really need are some better forwards, there must be some big lumps in Argentina with Italian sounding names. This is where Crowley should be focusing his poachiness

That said a back line which incorporated Garbisi, Lynagh, odogwu, ioane, capuozzo, minozzi, Mori, menoncello, etc does sound exciting

Send some envoys to the Greater Toronto Area and the US Eastern Seaboard! You already poached Rob Barbieri off us (RC's fault for ignoring him, I seem to recall), so why not more?!

I wonder if the 6', 220lb woman I used to coach knows her Italian granny makes her eligible for Le Azzurre?

Didn't his younger brother play for Canada?

I had to look that up. I remember another, but which order ... Mike is older, played prop, just two caps (had some solid incumbents to unseat at that time)

Ah well he was never getting into the italy team as a prop (not back then anyway)

Do they have any other siblings/cousins that Crowley should know about?
