Since when does Italy participate? I thought this tournament was preserved for the nations of the Celts (France = Little Brittanny).

For Italy, this year tournament is the most successfull one so far: they won in Scotland and yesterday against Wales, they could even dream of the secund or third place.

They joined in 2000. They have a former French scrumhalf as coach - Berbizier. Played during the 80s together with a black fullback called Blanco (white??) Grin and another guy called Condom  Grin. Ahhhh those were the days of great players and funny names. The All Blacks & the Aussies were really dominant then.

btw I caught Ireland -Scotland last night- exciting 19-18 win for the Irish. A winning penalty within 10 mins from the end. But totally deserved win. The Irish were really strong going forward.

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.
