Andrea Lo Cicero on…
… the 6 Nations
“The English are playing well, much better than the Irish, Scottish and Welsh.
“It’s not the best moment for the Italian side because there are many young players and [experienced] players but there’s not a good connection between the two.
Now every team is looking at the 6 Nations as the last game before Rugby World Cup 2015. It’s a big test for everybody. I hope the 6 Nations gives the [Italian] guys more confidence to go to Rugby World Cup 2015 and win.”
… Rugby World Cup 2015:
“But it’s going to be tough for Italy. France are a team that take a lot of risks and can win very well or lose very badly! I think France will be first [in Pool D], and second Ireland. I don’t know for Italy because Romania are a very good team, with a lot of players in France and England. They could spring a surprise.
“I think the All Blacks are going to win the Tournament but the surprise could be England because they have the supporters at home and the All Blacks have a lot of pressure as World Champions.”
… the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour:
“The Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour is very important for communities to be able to see the Webb Ellis Cup.”
