inutile ma meglio di niente 

 mai + Orquera
ma da dove l'hanno pescato?
Non l'ho mai visto.
L'altro calciatore č meglio! 

mai + Orquera 

 L'altro calciatore è meglio!
De Marigny, Wakarua
oggi ci è mancato lui quello che ti piazza tutti i punti sui piazzati
Orquera ci sarà costato un 9 punti di calcio piazzato ( con conseguente 
diverso andazzo della partita )

 mai + Orquera
Inguardabile sui calci.
Comunque come dissi tempo addietro, l'Italia ha solo un problema
sostanzialmente: non ha o non applica soluzioni offensive. Come ha detto
qualcuno, non andiamo in meta neanche con le cannonate. In piu' aggiungiamo
che alla minima distrazione ci castigano, e questo ci sta anche dato che
siamo indietro, come nazionale.
Ma Wakarua?

      O'Driscoll salva l'Irlanda
      -
      Italy 17-28 Ireland
      Two moments of magic from Brian O'Driscoll guided Ireland to a 
workmanlike victory against Italy.
      A pair of classic outside breaks from the Ireland captain set up tries 
for Geordan Murphy and Peter Stringer.
      Italy led 9-8 early in the second half but Stringer's try gave Ireland 
a lead they never lost.
      The hosts cut the gap to 18-12 with 10 minutes left and nearly scored 
through Ludovico Nitoglia, but Denis Hickie's try ensured an Irish victory.
      Italy came flying out of the blocks and took the lead through a 
Luciano Orquera penalty after seven minutes.
      It could have been better for the hosts but the fly-half missed two 
kickable penalties and Ireland drew level with a Ronan O'Gara penalty midway 
through the first half.
      The Italians were driving at the heart of the Irish defence and, for 
the first quarter, the Irish pack struggled to secure any ball for their 
talented backs.
      When they finally did, just before the half-hour mark, O'Driscoll 
promptly created a sparkling try for Murphy.
      The Ireland captain ran a dummy scissors and made a magical outside 
break before drawing the full-back and putting the diving Murphy in at the 
corner.
      O'Gara missed the twice-taken conversion and the visitors found 
themselves trailing once again.
      Roland de Marigny took over the kicking duties for Italy from the 
hapless Orquera, and he landed a penalty either side of the break to edge 
Italy into a 9-8 lead.
      The only Ireland player offering a real threat was O'Driscoll, and it 
was his break that set up the second try for the visitors.
      Shane Horgan threw an overhead pass as he was about to be forced into 
touch and Stringer scooted over, with O'Gara landing the tricky conversion.
      A penalty apiece saw Ireland leading 18-12 as the game entered the 
final quarter, but they were lucky to survive when Italy launched a series 
of attacks.
      Winger Nitoglia dropped the ball as he reached for the line and Italy 
nearly rumbled over from a driving maul.
      An O'Gara penalty put Ireland more than a converted try ahead and they 
made the game safe when Hickie latched onto an inside pass from Murphy and 
crossed for a converted try.
      O'Driscoll limped off late on, joining centre partner Gordon D'Arcy on 
the sidelines, and the final word went to Italy.
      Prop Martin Castrogiovanni powered over for a try which was fitting 
reward for an Italian pack which had kept the Irish under pressure 
throughout.
