italy vs romania

expect an easy win for a good looking six nations italian side here, despite their recent total dismantling by the all blacks (76-14...ouch!)

...perhaps next time they won't turn their backs to the haka.

having said that, a team doesn't have to face it, they can do what they want in my opinion. just because it's a great new zealand tradition (which i fully support, and never want to see the haka banned or disappear from international rugby) it doesn't mean the rest of the world's rugby teams has to stand there like lemons while new zealand performs it.
