RBS Six Nations, Stade de France, France: France 22 v 13 Scotland

Da MASSIMO & MARCELLO CUTTITTA OFFICIAL BLOG

MARCELLO: " bella partita. La Francia ho mostrato una mischia concreta, la Scozia ha tanto talento ma continua a giocare 5 metri dietro la linea del vantaggio e questo le impedisce troppo spesso di concretizzare le azioni. La Scozia paga un po' di indisciplina tattica, può migliorare molto con il recupero degli infortunati"

MASSIMO:" ho appena sentito Jacobsen, sono contenti di come è andata, nonostante gli infortuni in mischia e' andata meglio di come prevedevano. Due seconde linee erano terze naturali, il pilone destro Dickinson e' un sinistro adattato a destro. L'entrante Low e' un giovane destro che è migliorato tanto ed e' andato discretamente bene. Ottimo Jackobsen nel gioco aperto, sta incominciando ad essere un leader. Adesso due settimane servono per recuperare Cross, Murray e le seconde linee di ruolo: diventeranno davvero competitivi. Togliendo le prime linee la Francia si è indebolita molto, una scelta che ha pagato in termini di risultato"

RBS Six Nations, Murrayfield, Scotland: Scotland 13 v 26 Wales

Marcello Cuttitta: "Il Galles dimostra di essere la squadra da battere, ha meritato nettamente questa vittoria. La Scozia è in buona crescita, peccato sia uscito il pilone "uncapped" Geoff Cross che fin lì aveva mantenuto la mischia scozzese ai livelli di quella gallese, con lui in campo sarebbe stata un'altra partita sicuramente. La Scozia deve rivedere il suo gioco, ha le basi per puntare ai primi tre posti: deve tarare il modo di attaccare, molto bene Evans e Patterson". (Ph. www.imagefactory.it foto Fornasetti)
