Have said this before: Italy have to play Canna at 12 (2nd 5/8th) to give them more options in the backline.
But it didn't work when he played there

Disagree. You lose a little in defence but gain 2 playmakers and a vital kicking option. As good as Garbisi is, if he is the only playmaker, pretty soon he'll be marked out of every game by opponents.

Decent game against a weak opposition. Italy did spot a weakness around the rucks hopefully to be remedied.

Looked like a friendly game, happy with the result but could have kick a bit less, mainly Fickou.

He was a mile offside and then a high tackle. This is after a warning for an endless stream of penalties.
