What do the Irish have in store for South Africa next week, if that's just what they'll do to ban their two best players? #ITAvRSA

#itavrsa hard to remember a better total squad available than this current bok squad ..hugely impressive across the board

I don’t want to see Garbisi for a while #ITAvRSA

#ItavRsa kwagga smith.. boooom

You have to say every time Italy have had to do some defending, they missed tackles and been v poor against 14. #ITAvRSA

Time to put the pins back in the SART grenades for the 2nd week in a row.

DAMMIT

#ITAvRSA

I won’t survive this

God, but I love watching Capuozzo

But anyone else needs to take over kicking at sticks now. Old Paublo dickfeet is not having a good game.

#ITAvRSA

Magnificent #ITAvRSA

DREAM BACK ON, LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! Gorgeous score from Italy!

#ITAvRSA!

#itavrsa madonna Capuozzo!

Ah Italy. It's only a yellow for me but either way that's a momentum killer.

#ITAvRSA

Every rugby fan who’s not South African right now. #ITAvRSA

#rugby #itavrsa allora. Mi rimangio alcune delle cose che ho pensato, l'inizio del secondo tempo mi ha dimostrato che forse riescono a mantenere la calma. Però devono calmarsi davvero.

Was not expecting this game to be remotely this compelling.

#ITAvRSA

Some good rugby now #ITAvRSA

Beauden Barrett has just turned up in Turin offering to be a character witness for Mostert, but Ramos is trying to escort him from the premises #ITAvRSA

The Springboks are down to 14 men, have already had to practically empty their bench, and are generally having a torrid time, and they're still winning. I know Italy aren't the strongest side but South Africa really are some team.

First springbok tactical HIA KLAXON!!!!

#ITAvRSA

Were the South African medical staff trying to prevent Steenekamp from going off for an HIA? If so that's a really bad look.

#ITAvRSA

this game should be gripping but feels a bit of a joke somehow #itavrsa

I am not awake enough for this level of refereeing. What even LOL #ITAvRSA

26 minutes in and SA make 4 subs, inc both props.

Wonder what odds you’d get on SA calling for 4 head injury assessments in the 70th minute to allow them to swop totally rested players back?

#ITAvRSA

Ffs Garbisi…bring Allan on #iTAvRSA

Rugby not helped by comms going on about a red for an always illegal action being harsh. There was no attempt to wrap. So many of rugby's safety issues come from the tackle, effectively having become a side-on leading shoulder and a flapping trailing arm. Red, for me #ITAvRSA

Allora #itavrsa #raisport in chiaro si è mangiato 10 minuti di partita. Per la serie abbiamo una nazionale interessante, perché valorizzarla? Poi rosso contro i sudafricani, ma tanto visto cosa hanno fatto alla Francia la settimana scorsa c'è poco da stare tranquilli.

How is that a red? He is very bent at the shoulder and is there really any head contact? He drives himself into the chest, sure no wrap but he is also a second tackler. But he is very bent.
