PLANET RUGBY

Predictions are rife for tomorrow’s match, mostly (well to tell the truth, all) inclined towards a French win. But then they said that before the Scotland-France match too so we’ll see.

According to Planet Rugby, ‘player(s) to watch’ include our favourite brothers. I quote: “Stade Français star Mirco Bergamasco - young, committed and clearly fiercely Italian (!). He has made great strides since coming in to centre from the wing and he will be worth watching.” Huh, well I could have told you that!

Also: “long-haired flank Mauro Bergamasco, who also plays his club rugby in France, is indispensable to the Italian back row. Although he is nearing the end of his career, his energy and fondness of contact (!) show no sign of abating.” What does he mean nearing the end of his career?! My goodness, the boy is only 26, there’s plenty of life left in him yet. Pffff, end of his career indeed!

However I am pleased to see that tomorrow’s referee is smiley Tony Spreadbury. Come on Italy!

I know, it's disgraceful, but then what do these journalists know?! Don't worry, we know Mauro will be around attacking and tackling for quite some time yet! ;)
