6206 attendance, pretty good for a game like this.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

6,206 in attendance. Not bad considering there was a game yesterday in the same city as well.

The spikey platform would probably suffer a power cut.

Me too. Assume you don't drink it by the pint, though? 

Tabasco is a critical part of the sophisticated drinkers thinking.

It is a key ingredient of the Bloody Mary which is one of the few socially acceptable pre noon drinks outside of an airport terminal.

Fair play to Italy

To be honest, I prefer the chipotle Tabasco to the original.

Agreed, but I would switch the quantities of tomato juice and Tabasco.

Good chase by Brierley.

Why's that? On-field decision was it's a try, video footage inconclusive, try awarded. Seems correct to me. I don't have commentary though as Villa vs Chelsea is also on in this here pub.

Philistine.

[JimBronco]

Ohh very clever pass for the try. That was class

[The Vet]

6200 in attendance… 5000 must be in the stand where the TV camera is as it doesn’t look that busy, as the game goes I’m surprisingly impressed with Italy 

[Futtocks]

Maizen gets his second.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

They're getting their money's worth from the video ref aren't they? 

[Jim Prendle]

I really didn’t expect this score line.

Yes, that big stands looks nice and full when you get a shot.

A good game for them as well.

[Gerrumonside ref]

What’s Italy’s best ever result/achievement in international rugby league?

Tidy display by Italy
