Since last summer I think. Italian grandfather.
Not the first 'foreigner' to turn out for Italy rugby union.

There was a marvellous bit where he picked a pass off his boot laces, and the commentator said 'A former Rugby League player, he used all his sklills there!'

And it's lovely to hear biased commentators on an England RU game finally admitting what a limited player 'Johnny' Wilkinson is.

Didn't have the pleasure myself. Had Ireland pre-tournament
Not seen this weekend's games but have been disappointed with this year's tournament.

Brian Moore has been saying it for a while, as have both Guscott and Davies IIRC.

Austin Healey's attempts to turn it into everyone else's fault but Wilkinson's was frankly pathetic.

The BBC are doing their best not to upset the Celts with their commentary pairings though. The Irish, Scots and Welsh get commentary teams consisting entirely of their countrymen for games against the French and Italians, but the English still have to suffer the monotone biased ramblings of Eddie Butler.

Well seeing that they don't do public executions anymore, and car crashes don't have a fixture list - this is the best alternative if you are into that sort of thing.
