I'm not an expert on Rugby but I do follow the main tournaments (since the 90s) ... The Italians looked fairly good, some impressive Welsh defending saved them a try or two in the first half .. but that was surely a lot of penalties to give away, wales had two converted tries but the wops took the lead after their fifth successful penalty:S,that's some indiscipline there.. no offense to the Welsh but I'm really happy to see Italy win a game again at last and away too, I was at Murrayfield when the Italians went 21-0 up v Scotland and ended up winning a fairly close game, it looked like the Italians were on the way to being a pretty good team but they fell off pretty bad in the following years.

I see the Italian under 20 or whatever rugger uses beat england(by some weird 6-0 or similar score) and Scotland too recently, maybe they're on a pretty good path..

Haven't seen France v England yet but it's nice to see France win that and the grand slam, I hope France win the next world cup, I've always liked the frogs in rugby and they have a pretty good and fun team right now.
