It finished up about 15 minutes before you posted. I wouldn't worry about seeking out any highlights.

The premiership final is on now, though. Not sure how you'd watch it in Aus, Rugbypass?

I gave up on it and took the dog for a walk in the pissing rain instead. It was more enjoyable.

Well this is a turn up, instead of the usual politically correct non answers that we usually hear from the Italy players after a defeat, Garbisi has some harsh words for his own performance and the rest of the team

Expect him to be mysteriously dropped for the next game

Where to from here sturginho?
Sad to say but it looks like Italy are going backwards even further now.

Why two meaningless matches (Scotland - Georgia/Ireland - Italia) instead of interesting two (Scotland - Ireland/Italia - Georgia) ?

Ireland Italy was a postponed 6 Nations fixture, it needed to be played for the other outstanding fixtures to go ahead next week. Quite far from meaningless.

Could watch this all day.

I can’t see Ireland scoring four tries against France in Paris, so it’s going to be Helter skelter in Rome for points difference. I wonder if rushing to restart will be be the deciding factor

If Youngs is starting, 4 tries is not a guarantee, the glacial speed he gets the ball out, the Italian defence will be up in the backs face before it hits the 10

You'll be grand - Murray was hardly lightning quick. Italy are shite lads.

This.
Wins in Paris are not exactly frequent for us also.

As my father (who played fly half) said, "The pass was so slow he was shaking hands with the flanker when it arrived."

They surely can't be that bad again. But, even with no warm up game, if we can't score 4+ tries against them, and a bucketload of points, we don't deserve the Championship.

Umm, I was going to answer this with a long rant about how there needs to be a major overhaul of how the sport is run, starting with the president all the way down to the grassroots. But in the meantime Franco has named the exact same team for the England game, so I guess everything is hunky dory and nothing needs to change....
