welshmagpie Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 Serbia more technically aware and clinical. Italy have a couple of willing ball-carriers but you can tell Gioele Celerino has played at a higher level. His marker defence is far more considered than any other Italian player. If Boscolo and a couple of French-Italians were playing things would be far more equal.
langpark Posted May 27, 2023 Author Posted May 27, 2023 Yes Celerino is a stand out for Italy. Plenty of offloads and flair from Serbia, Italy struggling for possession. I hope they can contain them in the 2nd half but I can see Serbia going over 60 points.

They must build on this season’s Serie A and gradually get players exposed to Elite Two in France ala Celerino & Boscolo.
