earlier Today, history has been made in :ITA Florence.

 

:ITA Italy defeated :AUS Australia for the very first time in the history of the game.

 

28-27 the final score, with the Aussie missing well beyond the 80th minute a not-so-difficult conversion that would have given them an undeserved win.

 

but Today the Gods of Rugby decided that once in a lifetime justice had to prevail. :p

:ITA is in a bit of an island right now. Unlikely to defeat the other five European nations competing here, but at the same time, unlikely to lose to :GEO

Kansas City Chiefs have signed Louis Rees-Zammit but let's see if he makes the 53 squad for the season (still five months away). I presume he would be useful in kick/punt returns but he has to avoid muffs or else he will be gone quickly (as was Jarryd Hayne during his 49ers adventure in 2015).

surely the new kickoff rule will help him...he'll be more familiar than ever with the new formations that will be developed by the new rule

    • this is not funny at all, pal 
    • I think I can live with the draw , not a bad group at all. just a week ago our mafia coach said his dream group is Belgium, Egypt and Haiti, he almost got that !   but it's really hard for me (and so many others) to cheer for this team, A mafia boss coach, disgusting group of players. I never had this feeling about any NT in any sport before but still the national team is the national team. you have to like it  coaches and players come and go, the team is what matters.   if the team makes it to the competition, I'm sure there will be lots of Iranians in the stadium despite the orange's ban, that will never be a problem.
