The lower tier nations yet again putting on international games and showing the established countries how it should be done.

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]

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.

Result shows how Italy is dead without grand-sons of Italian immigrants playing in the NRL

 

hope they stage a comeback

Their geography may eventually benefit them however. They must build on this season’s Serie A and gradually get players exposed to Elite Two in France ala Celerino & Boscolo.

Hope so
