In total agreement with you :-) Well done Italy :-)

Our Nige was ref for Italy v Canada match.

Result - Italy 48 - 7 Canada

After years of watching Italy improve their skills and stamina but still being beaten in the 6 nations it is lovely to see them winning and using what they have learnt over those years.

Italy are now top of Pool B with 10 points after 2 games, 2nd New Zealand after 1 game 4 points :-0

THE ANTHEMS FOR TODAY'S GAME

I don't expect there are any English people (or any of the Home Nations subjects come to that!) who don't know the words to this one .... but here it is anyway! :-D

ENGLAND ANTHEM ~ GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.


STAR SPANGLED BANNER ~ THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE USA

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Morning Jem :-D :-D <3 <3
