Luke McLean kicks directly out… misdirected uppie
Georgia 16 / 15 Samoa
Handbags… the Latin temperaments flaring wildly
Italy penalty and another shot at goal
Italy 6 / 0 Pumas
Try Juan Imhoff, Pumas.
That’s what happens if you shoot up too early on defence
Good try by the Pumas. Italian defense could tighten up more.
Pumas 7 / 6 Italy
Geldenhuys 5m out… Italy hard on attack
Italy penalty on the 5, attempt at a quick tap… not on the mark
Italy 9 / 7 Pumas
Can you farken believe it, Georgia won 16 / 15 against Samoa!
This match more like a derby with both Castro and Parisse argentinian born.
@ grootblousmile:
Well done Georgies, I thought it was going to be close.
44 @ The_Young_Turk:
I picked Samoa by bloody 5… eish
Argies penalty, quick tap… Italy was never back 10 but got away with it
Picked Samoa by 2 so at least I get the half point.
47 @ The_Young_Turk:
The win by Georgia is certainly a bit unexpected, but the European teams all have strong forwards… and a lot of the old East Block players ply their trade in France.
Pumas penalty, going down over the ball on the ground… shot at goal
Pumas 10 / 9 Italy
The weather not condusive to great rugby
Italy penalty, not rolling away in the tackle
48@ @ grootblousmile:
Eggzaggerly, that’s why i felt the match could go either way and so am not at all surprised.
Long shot at goal for Allen
Just short… 22 drop in
Pumas scrum penalty… as good as a heel against the head
Tight game, can fall either way
Italy scrum penalty… no time left in the half… long one if they go for goal
Massive kick, falls far short.
Misses it again, well short
