Yes really Dougie, they were all legit penalties.

the thing is, how long should they be given? they've taken a couple of scalps, but this year they've been soundly beaten. they have world class players, well at least one, but they just can't seem to string together a run of results.

They'll have Conor o Shea pulling the strings in a few weeks so will continue to get better but a playoff with a second division 6 nations isn't a bad idea to get the likes of Romania, Russia and Georgia involved

Scotland by 3 points.

Think Ireland 36-29

I think Italy deserve to be there. But there should be a 7th nation and promotion/ relegation match

Tim, you only get better when you play better teams than you. Italy may take awhile, but they'll be the real deal soon enough.

much better game than the Wales match. you have to question Italy's inclusion. should there be some kind of play off with another tournament?

He maintains his 100% record in slotting his attempt.
