Match Commentary

81'		ESPN's Alex Perry (@AlexPerryESPN) had this to say: "Excuse the cliché, but that was a game of two halves. Italy dominated the first and notched up enough points to ultimately win them the match. But what might have been if the Romania that came out for the second 40 had showed up in the first. Three late tries had the 11,450 packed into Sandy Park on their feet, but it was far too little, far too late. Italy have qualified for the 2019 tournament in Japan. Too early to talk of extending the Six Nations? Not if this match is anything to go by…" Another late try but it's too little, too late. If only this Romania had turned up in the first half... #ITAvROM — Alex Perry (@AlexPerryESPN) October 11, 2015
