So apparently NZ defeated Australia 43:5 in Sydney... In front of 25k spectators.

They did it in Wellington twice in front of more than 40k :cool:

Another great result for our national rugby team: draw in 15 with Australia.

TBH I find this even more impressive that the game against New Zealand. Not because the result itself is that impressive, but rather because they came back just a week later and fought extremely well.

 

Argentina has a real shot of winning this tournament now.

Wrost pool ever for us, yay! :banana:

I think the only pot 1/2 team Italy could possibly beat is Japan, but yes, it can't get harder than that. Same as 2019 (NZ/RSA).

 

 

All in all the pools ended up pretty balanced, unlike previous editions where there was always an obvious "group of death".

Italian rugby has a new president :cheer:

 

https://www.onrugby.it/2021/03/13/marzio-innocenti-eletto-presidente-della-federazione-italiana-rugby-per-il-quadriennio-2021-2024/

 

 

The main point here being the score of the guy who held the office so far : 3.2 % :lol: which tell you everything you need to know about the quality of his presidency.

 

Hopefully, we will son see a decent italian side once again ;)
