I am not really possessed of the patriotic gene, in general, but on those brief occasions when it twitches into life, stuff like this is exactly what makes one proud to be ( Read more... ) -
Bemused.
Italy, though losing, are: within 2 points of France, <10 minutes to go, the defence has been fierce, and Bergamasco has apparently remembered how to kick.
Bloody hellfire, Italy. I was cheering you on in a sort of general support-the-underdog way (and because of Castrogiovanni being a Leicester Tigers lad), but still expecting you to be completely ( Read more... ) -
