Paolo Garbisi had the match point but the Italian found the post against France. The same mishap of the ball falling from its support was repeated against Scotland.

The Italian No. 10 also talks about the emotional torrent that has overwhelmed him in recent weeks, including the disappointment of the draw against the Blues. This Saturday (3:15 p.m.) Italy takes on Wales in Cardiff... “The Welsh will start at 3000 miles an hour, they will want to make us understand that we are not going to have fun,” predicts Garbise.
