Subject: Peccato

Peccato! Davvero ... Si poteva vincere per davvero.
Se non ce l'abbiamo fatta, credo, è per due motivi fondamentali :
1) Non riusciamo a tradurre in punti il nostro superiore possesso specie nel primo tempo (tranne che con gli AB è accaduto in tutte e tre le altre partite);

2) Il calendario ha creato una incredibile disparità di trattamento tra due squadre che si equivalevano o quasi; a tal proposito vi rimando al "Villain of the match" di Planet Rugby che riporto alla fine del messaggio. Non è una scusa per JK ma un dato di fatto.

Il mondiale per noi finisce con la consapevolezza che, probabilmente, si è creato un gruppo molto giovane che potrà darci numerose soddisfazioni a partire dal prossimo 6 nazioni (a proposito : a Dublino ci andrò di sicuro, anche se la voglia di tornare a Cardiff è tanta).

Villain of the match: Nobody in the game - instead we will award this to the people responsible for Italy's horrific Rugby World Cup draw. They are on their way home now, having been forced to play four matches in the space of fourteen days, while Wales have a nice seven-day break before their clash with New Zealand. Does it make sense? No! Should it be looked into? Please! Italian coach John Kirwan expressed his disgust at the draw in April, telling Planet Rugby at the time: "Heads could roll, including mine, but that's the least of my worries. It's more the players I fear for. It's plain dangerous."
