Blimey the Italians have just about given up already.
Same ref as the Wales Fiji game how on earth is he still getting games after that shambles
ABs mean business tonight. Looking so good all over the park
New Zealand at -39 was never in doubt :)
this is quite humiliating for the Italians, feel for them
That is some score against a Teir 1 nation. Relentless, physical, technically amazing, disciplined. Italy looked poor but that's because the ABs never let them into the game
It was a joy to watch.Quote:

Scotland doing ok here but only against 13 men and still making mistakes but 42 - 0 up at half time not to be sniffed at
not too shabby from our 2nd string :greengrin HT 42-0
just remembered i stuck £10 on Romania at -59, oh well :)
Oh dear there goes your bet unless Romania rally!Quote:

Need to beat Ireland and score four tries and win by more than seven. Not sure we can manage that. Think there will be a score we need to beat them by that we don't need four tries. Assume something like 15 or 16 not sure. Big ask. Thought some of Scotlands play was excellent and Darcy is a bit of a star.Quote:

We still made too many errors that we won't get away with against a team like Ireland, can't see us beating them.Quote:

Find it impossible to imagine we'll beat Ireland. They are a magnificent side and that win over South Africa was astounding.
Got to feel a bit sorry for Portugal here, started really well, got a yellow card that may well be upgraded to a red, game over.
Yellow card remains, commentators quite surprised.Quote:

Simplified, we need to beat them by more than 7, and make sure they score fewer than 4 tries. :greengrinQuote:
