He was on his own. Any other bounce and he was in.

beertons · 16-03-2019 02:00PM

G'wan Italy.

crisco10 · 16-03-2019 02:03PM

Series of unfortunate events for Italy there

crisco10 · 16-03-2019 02:04PM

Sods law France will score here

razorblunt · 16-03-2019 02:05PM

I think that Italian opportunity may have Been grounded but there’s very unfortunate again there was no angle.

France have more talent on display, but Italy are a much better coached team. Their forwards are fairly well drilled in comparison to the shapeless France and the Italian line out is far superior.

razorblunt · 16-03-2019 02:08PM

Allen must be one of the most infuriating players in the tournament.

sydthebeat · 16-03-2019 02:09PM

Italy don't have any counter attack nous... Breaking ball and they all run laterally

razorblunt · 16-03-2019 02:12PM

such a blatant late hit.

Cmon Italy.

bilston · 16-03-2019 02:15PM

Cynical penalty...should have been a card...Italy had loads of momentum 5 metres out.

Dave_The_Sheep · 16-03-2019 02:15PM

You'd pull your hair out if you were an Italian fan.

bilston · 16-03-2019 02:16PM

How infuriating are Italy. They've made three errors in the red zone in 3 minutes.

sydthebeat · 16-03-2019 02:16PM

Ah jaysus Italy... Simple errors

ScrubsfanChris · 16-03-2019 02:17PM

Same as Scotland last week, plenty of ambition - no skill.

Take your points and you're leading by 4

16-03-2019 02:17PM

Italy would break your heart.

razorblunt · 16-03-2019 02:17PM

Camara came right up the outside of the maul there and held on to the ball carrier at the back. Right in front of the AR too.

mangobob · 16-03-2019 02:18PM

To be an Italian rugby fan you need to be an inveterate masochist and have the patience of a saint.

Mike Oxlong · 16-03-2019 02:19PM

Referee was quite poor there....missed loads of French infringements and let go the ones he did see

It's starting to piss me off no end. I think they need to start looking at the laws again.
They should at least make it legal for the attacking team to "remove" defenders on the wrong side.

Either that or a law which states a defender cannot get between the 9 and the ball in a maul, unless defender comes through the middle.

Mauls are wheeling and defenders who haven't come through the middle are like limpets at the back stopping the ball coming out

Losty Dublin · 16-03-2019 02:32PM

What a load of dross! And to think that some of us actually crawled out of our beds after The Angelus to watch it :mad:

sydthebeat · 16-03-2019 02:37PM

Worst. Kick. Ever.

mangobob · 16-03-2019 02:39PM

Ah thats just lovely.

Mike Oxlong · 16-03-2019 02:41PM

That try will break the Italian resistance now... expect a bit of a capitulation

ScrubsfanChris · 16-03-2019 02:42PM

That kick was harder to miss than score.....

dastardly00 · 16-03-2019 02:43PM

Ah ffs Allen

razorblunt · 16-03-2019 02:43PM

“There was no indication that would happen from the boot of Allen” says Harrison.

It’s Tommy fùcking Allen, the man is a walking indication stuff like that can happen.

vienne86 · 16-03-2019 02:47PM

At last!

OldRio · 16-03-2019 02:48PM

Excellent.

munsterlegend · 16-03-2019 02:48PM

Wow they scored a try.
