I'm thinking this will be a double figure win for Ireland on a fine day in Rome but I don't particularly like the odds on the margins. 5/4 three+ tries is now my bet.

Somebody fancies Gori for first try scorer.

I'm hoping Ireland build a early lead and then I'll be laying them.

Biggest handicap Italy +6.5?!? WTF?!?!?

Slowest this has ever been played?!?

BF are having an ars*e of a day on the caps for sure.

what the hell is this Irish anthem? funeral pace
|
|
By:
The place is doing my nut in. They could not give a feck about us but are quite happy to help 'emselves to 40% of my weekly rake!
|
|
By:
And now for one of the best anthems
 |
|
By:
Erm, yes, a fair bit of difference in the anthems there. These Italians know how to get the mind games started.
|
|
By:
Love this Italian anthem and the French and Welsh. The other three I can give a miss.
|
|
By:
Who needs the music anyway?!?
|
|
By:
Hopefully Barnes won't have one of his picky defensive pen days.
|
|
By:
At least the weather should be a bit more cooperative.

How is that not a knock on by Parisse?

ffs this Italian TV coverage is going to do my head in with it's sea-sickness camera switching and fascination with close-ups. Not good at all for enjoying the game.
|
|
By:
Italian directors do tend to get a bit flamboyant. Completely unnecessary in general, just hold it steady and show the whole game.

Music after 3 pointers?!?

Big game needed from Kearney here. Once upon a time he was probably clear Lions no.1 but right now he's got a lot of competition and I think he's at best 2nd (behind Halfpenny) right now. One thing we can be sure of is that we will be leaving some very good full-backs behind. (same can't be said for half-backs).

Great stuff by the Azzurri fatties
|
|
By:
What a poor decision, POM wasn't the tackler, first man in on the ball and on his feet
|
|
By:
Kearney has been average for club and country, I wouldn't even have him on the plane.
|
|
By:
Barnes AWFUL referee
|
|
By:
I don't know, that was marginal, O'Mahony had connected before Parisse was fully down. Barnes was on the other side of the maul and I imagine that made a difference to the decision.
|
|
By:
Rory Best another struggling to make the Lions. Back throwing it sideways again like he did against Scotland
|
|
By:
Best has the advantage that there is buggerall else in his position though. Can play poorly and still maybe be number 1.
|
|
By:
This is not going to be an easy day for Barnes. Will be hands in at every ruck from both sides I imagine.
|
|
By:
Dopey front-rows will do things like that though and make decisions easier.
|
|
By:
Parisse is undoubtedly a fantastic player but am I the only one who gets sick of commentators creaming themselves every time he touches the ball?
|
|
By:
that is a shocking miss
|
|
By:
I think I prefer it when it is justified. With the amount of biased comms in this comp there is a lot of excitement about players that don't really do a lot
|
|
By:
Think I should have backed 2+ yellows. Wayne Barnes plus Irish hands at rucks = cards.
|
|
By:
Yellow for Ireland soon surely
|
|
By:
Parisse is a great player
|
|
By:
Certainly looks like yellows will out score tries at the moment
|
|
By:
Why is Wallace struggling to pick up on the reasons? Healey dumps himself on the wrong side and doesn't move, O'Mahony comes in from a debatable angle. Easy decisions for Barnes for the most part.
|

By:
Blimey is there a big wind or was that a massive slice or just a funny camera angle
 |
|
By:
I thought it was going left!
