I think its just great to see Italy stand up now and play their own against the big lads like they have some great players and their pack is one of the biggest out their. Watching them destroy Scotland and Wales was a great sight just for the fact that they have come so far from going to every match and loosing 63-0. Hopefully soon enough they can really start making a impact on the world stage

My hope is to see the first RWC quarter final with Azurri. Sorry for Scots, but this could be our turn.
It will be hard anyway, because Scotland had months to cure their wounds, and surely will not do the same errors that did in Murrayfield. But i believe Italy can do it again. And, Azzurri haven't yet won against Romania and Portugal, the guys in (electric) blue must respect them and be focused as they were playing against the AB's, who will play first against us. About the match against New Zealand, we're used to say: "tooth away, pain away" but, i sincerely hope the match will be not a total upset for Italy (40 points of disadvantage maximum would be good), for the morale of the team.
