@HeTalksRugby@GreggC_CC@FMC_Rugby Italy are an improving side thanks to investment and better players coming through. The concept of “acceptability” is to be frank irrelevant, any Tier 1 team can lose to another Tier 1 side. It’s bad losing full stop, be it against southern hemisphere sides or Italy.
@HeTalksRugby@GreggC_CC@FMC_Rugby Okay would it have been acceptable to lose to Wales at the start of this year’s 6N tournament? Their form over recent years is markedly worse than Italy’s but have better resources and have won championships over the past decade.
@DiscussingFilm Somewhat interesting thing re: concept of MCU is apparently Edgar said to Kevin to link the Marvel films. Edgar’s version of AM predates Iron Man and would have been its own separate thing. The delays were in part due to personal tragedy for Edgar’s long term producer.
@josemorgado Weird how Andy Murray keeps showing up in these various stats, yet lots of online folk really don’t rate him that differently to Stan (who was great, but not at Andy’s level).
@BenRothenberg I think the pace at which Norrie is serving. He seemed to mention bounces of the ball. He wanted to know if there was anything in the rules.
@mkanapaka@BastienFachan@GQMagazine Fed beat him in Andy’s first AO final. Doubly frustrating when he led 5-3 in final set, plus had the lead in tiebreaker. Not that suggests Andy would win, but he should have won a set, which would have meant it wasn’t such a burden in later GS finals.
