Timmy Little (Picture above on right), aka that wierd 6'6" Aussie guy who freaks everyone out, has now made a man of himself and is currently a full time rugby professional playing his Rugby in Sicily for San Gregorio Catina. This past weekend they had huge win against Treviso's A-Side in Italy's first division. It was a historic win as it is the first time ever a Sicilian team has beaten any grade of Treviso. Timmy was man of the match and ruffeled some feathers. I had a few minutes to speak to him via email.
R&L: Timmy why did you get a yellow card?
Timbo: Mate for being a C*** - I had been warned 3 or 4 times and I think i threw some one at the half back after the play.
R&L: Wow - you must be popular?
Timbo: Actually got punched in the face about 10 times, I had mutual friend of the opposing coach so I went to say hello after the game but he refused to speak to me!
R&L: How's the Pizza?
Timbo: Treating me well mate!
Here is a link to the write up translated by google;
"The victory of the heart, the group's victory, the victory of David against Goliath. It is a historic day for San Gregorio Catania Rugby who succeeded in defeat with a great merit over Benetton Treviso"

Another Bonus Pic! Here is the big man trying figure out the line calls in Italian! Good Luck!
Awesome moves! It would be more exciting to see them live and take Rugby Supporters Tours. It surely is fun.
