THINGS TO MAKE YOU SMILE (WELL, ‘ME’ REALLY)

Just when the cold and rain accompanying the ‘official’ start of spring was beginning to get me down, my day brightened considerably when I saw the poster advertising Stade Français’s next home match:

I’m also cheering myself up over a nice cup of hot chocolate with more wonderful quotes about Mirco:

“Italy had the best overall player in centre Mirco Bergamasco.” Sporting Life

“Italy for me have been the team of the championship.” The Telegraph

“in the unpredictable (!) Mirco Bergamasco, Italy have had the outstanding midfield.” The Scotsman

“Mirco Bergamasco, arguably the player of the championship.” The Times

“The only centre who has really stood out is Italy's Mirco Bergamasco. Since he's switched from wing into midfield the totally committed younger of the Bergamasco brothers has been a revelation.” Western Mail

“But our man of the tournament is Italy's Mirco Bergamasco, a revelation after switching from the back three and at the centre of every Italian effort, scoring three tries in five matches. Yes, the Stade Français star finished on the losing side five times, but it was not for want of trying and he never lost his personal battle with the opposition.” planetrugby
