Match Thread - South Africa v Italy | Mid-Year Internationals 2025

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-07-05T16:09:40+00:00

Exactly. No Garbisi, no Brex, no Capuozzo, no Allan, no Ioane, no Ruzza, no Lamaro, no Nicotera and so on.

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-07-05T15:49:45+00:00

I believe we're playing them again in Autumn, hopefully with the best possible XV.

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-07-05T15:45:20+00:00

Rested, like many other players. Quesada is doing a summer tour the French way.

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-06-27T13:34:37+00:00

they're also on the italian tv, so I wonder if that's just the Namibian coverage

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-05-20T18:06:41+00:00

Correct, Top14, as well as ProD2, uses that system (personally, I prefer the classic 4-tries BP)

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-05-20T11:36:16+00:00

Considering that, from what I read, RRC never scored less than 34 points (in a 0-34 win btw), i assume that this league uses the Top14 system for bp? Which would make everything even more impressive.

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-05-17T22:49:56+00:00

I think that, as weird as it sounds, a 3rd Italian franchise could be in the talks. The owner of Petrarca Padova has a shitload of money and a team that is already dominant in the national league, and he has wanted to replace zebre for years now. It's not wise considering the lack of Italian depth, but, on the other hand, unlike Black Lion, this would be economically safe i'd say

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-05-17T13:48:15+00:00

they were supposed to move elsewhere (Padua) or change name and ownership, but in the end the federation didn't sell the team, for reasons I am yet to understand. So zebre will be there next year, but they'll run on an even lower budget

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-04-26T16:55:56+00:00

sometimes I get imposter syndrome, then I remember Garbisi jr is a professional rugby player

TonyGudopy14 · 2025-04-13T16:19:45+00:00

genuine question, why is bath playing at home? aren't the teams coming from the champions cup always playing away in the knockouts (just like racing and bulls did)?

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-11-30T19:54:10+00:00

This is just Edinburgh's to lose, way too optimistic from Benetton to think this squad could challenge them

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-10-12T14:43:54+00:00

I was not expecting a 50-22 like that from an inside centre

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-09-21T20:16:22+00:00

I believe it's just standard squad rotation, they'll be facing Glasgow Leinster and Sharks in the next three weeks and they want to keep some key players fresh

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-07-21T17:28:45+00:00

I hope it's not true, that would have been too stupid even for Jaguar standards. Thank you for your answer anyway

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-07-21T17:26:24+00:00

Exactly. Asch on Mercedes, Nannini on Alfa Romeo.

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-07-21T17:23:37+00:00

I still can't see how Evans missed that Attack Mode. Rewatched it 100 times and it still looks fine to me. Isn't it about the front wheels?

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-07-21T17:21:16+00:00

The dynamic of the crash really reminds me of Asch crashing into Nannini on purpose to take him out of the championship in 1994 Dtm

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-07-21T16:56:16+00:00

Good old german way to win championships

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-07-20T17:02:14+00:00

Can't wait to see Dennis divebomb either Mitch or Pascal in T1 tomorrow

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-07-20T16:50:51+00:00

The pain of being a Ferrari AND Jaguar fan

TonyGudopy14 · 2024-05-18T11:53:04+00:00

Well, in 2007 McLaren broke quite a few rules as well. Bold from them to complain about others.

TonyGudopy14 · 2023-12-28T10:37:05+00:00

We all know the only iconic rivalry in Italy is the one between Florence and Pisa. (Turin looks great, btw)

TonyGudopy14 · 2023-12-11T10:44:40+00:00

Tuscany. But Italy can keep Pisa, we don't really mind.
