Flip.

I think that Fort Hare Universirt v Walter Sisulu University inn the Varsity Shield on Thursday evening was a better game to watch than this, & was certainly a better contest.

Italy are doing some pretty smart stuff inbetween some pretty dumb shit…

Italy penalty… they are trying to play a very fast-paced game… and mostly succeeding, but the Irish defence is resolute!

Italy scrum penalty, quick tap and go… now inside 5m
47

grootblousmile on 11 February 2017 at 5:41 pm

… and then Parisse has the ball robbed off him on the ground… Ireland scamper the ball out…

Still a very attacking Italy lineout.

Ireland steals the lineout though!

Scrum deep in the Italian 22… but it is Italy ball at the scrum.
