The defeat against Argentina burns to Blues rugby. The satisfaction with the good performance definitely goes into the background this evening in Genoa, Italy where she was beaten for 20 to 18 by the Pumas, who were returning from the disappointing game last Saturday against Scotland and now in search of redemption. The Italian national team, however, failed once again to repeat the victory six days away, keeping a streak.

“I rode a lot,” was the comment of the hot Italian captain Sergio Parisse. Three words say it all. “I’m pretty disappointed, and even angry enough,” added the number 8 of Stade Francais, pointing his index finger on the goal “donated” to the opponents at the end of the first half. For the captain, “Argentina was more fortunate when he had the opportunities,” stressing that the Pumas have “scored two goals on our mistakes,” which, however, Italy has failed to do. Two goals that coach Jacques Brunel has called “avoidable”, to make matters worse.

Once again, this team has failed to cynicism, ability to finalize the work and get points. In fact, Parisse one hand praised the “attitude” of his, on the other hand stressed the “too many errors”. Last Saturday in Ascoli Piceno, although it has been made many, the game against Samoa was won, this time it did not go so well. Also because when you play at a high level if the opponent is “cool” to you, as Andrea Masi has defined the guests, if you pay the consequences. And “the great desire to do” Azzurri, recognized by Parisse alone is not enough. As for the captain, for three-quarters of L’Aquila playing in England, “we made too many mistakes” in a “proof of a high standard with a high pace.”

Although Italy “is growing, and this is a good thing,” he warned Masi “you have to be focused for 80 minutes,” because as demonstrated by today’s meeting, Cariparma second test match of the season , errors and pay dearly. From the coach Brunel arrived however a positive comment: “The scrum went well, it was quality.” Travelers who also reached consensus hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini, for whom “it was a good battle up front, we have prepared well and behaved the same. We played on par with their pack. ” This does not mean, however, that “we should do something more and eventually won them,” said the number two still blue, bitterly noting that “this is the only thing that counts.” Same final disappointment for Brunel who concluded, however, arguing that “we were to lose the game.”
