It's especially satisfying to see, as they aren't just finding qualified players overseas, but the spine of the team has been developed thru the national systems, & done with just the two URC sides.

It shows what can be done !

Yep and is perhaps a salient lesson for Wales. May be a long way back but there is a path even when it seems hopeless

It is also a salient lesson for Japan, but not one they are likely top learn while -- what did Gumboot call him again? -- the poison dwarf is in charge.

Oh come on its not just anyone that can conjure up aimless kicks to no one.

Just rewatched, now that was a chore, great work from Italy, they really are coming along nicely. Reckon they may take a couple of scalps in the Six Nations.

I just realised that it was 1C with heavy dew on the ground last night. Could have had something to do with the less-than-stellar performance by the lads.

Why rugby websites (Planetrugby, Rugbypass) are not interested at all in the the haka led by TJ Perenara in Turin before Italy test match ?

Even the main italian sport newspaper (La Gazzetta dello Sport - 90% soccer centred) writes a lot about.

https://www.gazzetta.it/Rugby/25-11-202 ... acks.shtml

Speaking about the haka I think it's more important than Joe Marler's opinion and the debate that followed.

And the event in Turin proves definitively that the haka is not a show for tourists.

Cheers from Italy
