Italy vow to be confusing

ITALIAN rugby’s kings of confusion have promised surprises to trip the wounded Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday just when they need to shake sense and order into their game.

The Italians upset South Africa 20-18 last November but it was the “offside trap” tactic that flummoxed England and Eddie Jones that has sent up a warning flare for Australia.

“We are a team that likes to come up with surprises and cause confusion,” Italian lock Andries van Schalkwyk said.
