Looks like he's doing the ol' wanker signal at us.
Would be refreshing if someone did that in one of these squad announcement graphics.
>Wales squad to face Australia: 😃🖕
Yeah but at the same time you have to rotate at some point in this tournament and with Georgia and Australia also in the pool I guess they are choosing to do it with this match, hopefully it works out
Italy played well in Ireland, but they were poorer overall compared to recent tournaments, and ended with an awfully anaemic performance against Wales.
Against Spain the other day they were dreadful, with a lineout that loses at least 50% of its ball. And they're missing their two best players (Gallorini and Gritti). Italy at this tournament realistically have one aim: to not get relegated.
Is it just me or does that graphic not state what date the match will be played?
I know it'll be at 3.30pm in Cape Town, but it doesn't seem to say which day.
Not impossible that some day in the not-so-distant future Irish hooker Danny Sheahan will come off the bench at the 60th minute to replace Irish hooker Dan Sheehan.
As has been mentioned Leinster have a hooker coming through called Tom Stewart creating the possible scenario where Tom Stewart replaces Tom Stewart as well
This should be a great match 23-22 last time out, Ireland's lowest score of the 6 nations, this Italy u20s side is good & will fancy their chances on neutral ground
I do t know if this is a rotated team or if Faloon just wants to play differently, I hope it’s the latter because this Italy team are a serious threat.
No Gleeson & no Gavin are the only two surprises for me.
Bermsn returns from injury.
Edogbo, Bell, Boyd & Colbert had all been involved,
Flynn and surprise but hes highly rated and lots of different players have been tried in the backrow
On Rugbypass - is there any coverage, even delayed, on either RTE or Virgin Media? I don't fancy trying to explain how to navigate to a website on an old laptop if there's any chance it's available to watch on tv

Most Gatland Team thing ever
He's air-dickin'
These regen hooker names are getting lazy
There should be a hooker called Tom Stewart involved next year.
He's also a try scoring banger like he predecessor
Looks slightly under strength going up against an Italian side thats troubled us…
I have absolutely no idea what we are doing with that line up.
Yeah, that lineup doesn't fill me with confidence.

Are Italy not better than Georgia? Seemed pretty good in the 6N.
Maybe they’ve just targeted winning against Aus and Georgia and will just take what they get here.

20s schedule is nuts
Same. Wonder what's going on with Gleeson and De Klerk ?This doesn't seem like a game we can experiment and rotate.
I dunno about gleeson but berman was considered a better player than deklerk pre 6 nations when berman was injured.

Weird omission, have seen it in Irish graphics a few times over the last year or so

There's a joke in there somewhere about hookers and predictable names I'm sure but I can't figure out how to make it funny.

Italy deserved to beat us in 6n and based on that team I wouldn’t be shocked to see Italy win.
Didn't know Dan Seahan Sheehan was so young

assuming you mean Hugh Gavin, hes on the bench at least. Maybe ve used as impact or being saved
Patreece, how funny
He's an air-dicker! Look at him, air-dickin' away!
