Might be something to do with the low autumn sun? Just guessing, but these things make a right mess of tv pictures when they occur.

Shame though

Just not Scotland's day. Italy deserve massive praise for how they've performed 

its not gonna be Scotland's day, is it? as they utter garbage 

[Futtocks]

Some good juggling from Scotland; a bit better than their Rugby in fact.

[Rene_Artois]

I've been a fan of Brendan Santi for a while. Every time Doncaster have played Keighley he's been a joy to watch.

I don’t think the gantry is that side for falcons games . Not a good look though when there is 5000 people filling the stand that we are not showing.

I think these things get over-emphasised personally.

People need distracting from those pesky silver linings, and any cloud will do.

Luckless outstanding

They look pretty clueless with the ball. Watching this it's hard to believe they were strong favourites to win.

You can tell from numerous shots that (and some of the cheering) that there is a decent crowd there.

[Futtocks]

Maizen hat-trick! He's quick as well as strong.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I really did not see this kind of scoreline. Thought these two were gonna be pretty evenly matched. Makes me wonder which will be the first close game in this tournament cos I'm not imagining the other two today are gonna be either. 

[Segovia Carpet]

Italy RL far better than Italy RU

Hiya. Had a break for a season...very much on board for the RLWC and will be back at New River next season. Yesterday in Newcastle was a real tonic.

Good to have you back in the game 

[Jim Prendle]

Should I feel stupid for watching the game rather than the stands?

If we're having a trumpeter and the Headingley band we might as well chuck the cowbell man into the mix as well. 

Yep agreed 

[Damien]

I think a few English clubs will be looking at Maizen

Good work so far Italy.  My second team in this competition of course, a little bit because my wife is Italian* but mostly because I love Moretti beer and I drink every time he is named!

(* don't think I have mentioned that before)

I get the urge to get my bike out every time they mention Campagnolo.

I prefer your approach.

[Northern Eel]

Consolation. They kept going.

[Farmduck]

Must have been an omen for Maizen who is originaly, a Newcastle boy I think.

Not sure the relevance to my post to be honest!

[Futtocks]

Yes! Scotland avoid a nilling, and with a decent try too. Huge step by Walmsley.

Tbf the stands are probably more entertaining, the sweaties have been awful.

You haven't enjoyed the game, I think it has been very entertaining?

Good player

[Wendigo7]

Are we not a bit surprised how poor Scotland have been? 
Didn’t expect this to be a blowout.
