Is it just me or are we actually playing good rugby right now? Mind you, we did that against Wales and still gift wrapped it for them later on...

I don't believe it! We're cutting them to shreds. Laidlaw take note - you ARE capable of playing fast ball. Do it every game please.
We had two consecutive advantages played there too.

I'll give Wilson one thing, he's a nippy guy.

And that tackle on the 10 was brilliant!

Wilson injured, Of course.
Oh, so Strauss is on the bench?

How did you miss that? Who did you think was benching?

I hope they don't try sit on the lead, they're ripping Italy apart. We could bury them.

Been impressed with him so far in fairness.

Bit of a weak try to concede that. Didn't look like much other than just putting it through the hands. Fair play Italy, finished it well.

Well that was a weak try. Not surprising though, we always do this.

At least 3 missed tackles in the build up. We don't seem to trust our first man to make the tackle very much which creates these gaps and space.

Anyone tell me the difference between Sergio picking that up there, and Reid doing it the other night for Glasgow?

What a strange question. I thought i might have given it away by asking who was on the bench about 5 minutes earlier? I just turned the game on and Wilson is there wearing 8.
I'd presumed Strauss wouldn't be in Italy.

I don't think I even really noticed them score that try, it's just to typical. Even 2 tries up I felt no faith that we can put Italy away.

The Italians have no answer for our scrum. None at all. Immense.

No Hoggy pot shot from the halfway line? Promising... or is that just a Glasgow thing?

Peyper is way too quick to blow up. The italians were taken off their feet almost instantly. How can that be not releasing?

According to hp (and I trust hp when it comes to Glasgow players stats, home address, what they had for tea last night and what they wore to bed) Bennett is the better of the 2

Italian winger had to get nearly 6 inches off the ground to win that aerial battle...
