Tommy Allan has withdrawn from the squad citing fatigue, add that to our growing list of injuries and we have almost an entire XV missing.

Lynagh is called up straight away, as is Francois Mey :cool:

Gallagher to Treviso is official too, soon all of the Italian qualified exiles will belong to Benetton!

How ridiculous is it that Simone Gesi can't get a look in for the national team?

I’m growing tired of Galthié, this 6N is done for us, we lost the first game at home and didn’t win the 2nd one.

Why not try Gailleton or Depoortere this weekend as the later makes a fantastic backline every weekends with Louis Bielle, Jalibert and Penaud, but no in lieu stick with Danty or a very tired looking Fikou .

Very weird, apparently they didn't even talk to him about it other than to tell him it was happening

He seemed to fall with his back short of the line and then bum shuffled over until he could get over the line. Surely double movement.

This game is going to introduce the concept of Christoph Ridley’s refereeing to a non-Premiership audience. Never a try

Hown on earth did that break not result in a try? It was a 4 on 1 at one point.

Looked fine to me, I thought it was one of the first correct decisions Ridley made.

As usual the commentary is awful.

Apart from the knock on, the offside and the double movement it was spot on

Why do Italy always follow something good with something stupid.

Too emotional. Actually both sides suffering just now. Great viewing for the neutral.

Italy's line speed and defence is pretty good. Not having much trouble keeping the French at bay until there's broken play.

England are the same.
