So was just wondering what everyone else thinks on this or is it too early to be drawing any meaningful conclusions from the weekend???

A lot of people (really I am only thinking about Brian Moore here) going on about how brilliant the Italian victory was, were also spouting last September that Italian involvement in the HC should be limited because it is unfair on the larger budget teams in England and France who miss out as a consequence.

In other words do you think the Italian victory justifies and furthermore demands them having two teams in the HC or whatever format we move forward with?
