Two absolutely disastrous tries given away but italy haven't been too bad, it all looks a bit messy really.

Also gialappa show can fuck off

Good to see the sold out stadium though, a shame they weren't rewarded with a better performance

Georgia have been excellent in defence but Italy are not offering much in attack

You get the feeling that even under this pressure with once chance for their speedsters, Georgia will score..

Especially if niniashvili gets on a run, as they seem incapable of touching him

Garbisi looks a bit of a shadow of himself 18 months ago as well

So apparently one 90 point drubbing from the boks is not enough for us, we're playing them 3 times this year

Whoever comes up with these fixtures?

Given all the ridiculousness surrounding Zebre's future, this is a great move by the FIR.

Many Italian fans are also asking wtf has happened to Loris Zarantonello. Picked for the pacific tour last summer, played 15 mins, has not been seen again. From what I gather he continues to play well enough for his club, but a ProD2 journeyman has been picked ahead of him, a weird case for sure.
