6N 2022 : Wales v Italy
-
Welsh team named tomorrow
Call from pundits and ex-players to give fringe players a shot in what is being regarded as an automatic victory
FUCK THAT
As we saw last weekend a moment of inaccuracy can see you playing all but 82 seconds of the match with 14 men
A 14-man Wales are not good enough to beat a 15-man Italy
Pick the best team available
Get them playing the way Pivac wants
Then if we're well ahead bring on the bench to slot in to that pattern
Not let it disintegrate into a free for all
-
@mikethesnow I’m not sure I agree. But Pivac has already used a fair number hasn’t he? Maybe a good time to really get the top team purring, you think?
-
Wales far too strong but I don't expect a hiding as the Welsh backline is poor.

To be fair to Wales (small sick in mouth), there has been a fair bit of enforced chopping and changing in the back line, exacerbated a bit with Pivac trying out wingers in the centre. I don’t see this as the time to experiment too much, like England they are not in that place yet.

Definitley
Last test for a while
get the best 23 playing the Pivac way
-
Some very quizical selections
McNichol has done nothing to warrant a return
Cuthbert and Liam Williams will be joining Basham in the starting XV to watching it in the stands club
Halaholo in on merit. He's there to provide the cutting edge in midfield. Hopefully we'll see him and Tompkins together at some stage, with Tompkins at 13
Tomos Williams still concussed I'm guessing
Why wouldn't you start with Hardy?
AWJ getting his long service testimonial. 150 Test Caps. He may not be there next season. I get this one.
No pace in our forwards subs
Barring a RC we should see this home
-
If anyone deserves a swan-song it’s A-W J. You wouldn’t bet against him soldiering on further though.
Tomas Francis is on odd one. OK to play last week after getting knocked for 6 the week before but not now?
It’s some merry-go-round you’ve got going there at the moment.

It’s only Italy. The team could play pissed and still put 20 on them.

Not us

Half time.
Wales 7 Italy 12.
Italy should be more ahead, very much the better side in the First Half.

Shit house
Italy should be streets ahead -
Wales backing off the collisions, constantly moaning at the ref, waving their arms around. They really don't seem up for a Test today for whatever reason.
-
Cracking game for the neutral. Hopefully Italy don't run out of steam, would love nothing more than an Italian victory on Welsh soil. Shocking performance from Wales

Fuck. Italians asleep.
-
What a try by Italy to go within one point!
Forza Italia!
-
Incredible! Well done Italy.
-
Italy win!!!!!
🇮🇹
-
Italian team very, very happy. So pleased for their coach Colt.
-
Ahh man commiserations @MiketheSnow we AB fans know how that feels recently.
Superb by Italy.
-
@bones Wales looked today like a team coached by Foz.

Jonathan "Jiffy" Davies on 78 minutes: Josh Adams is my man of the match.
Josh Adams then gives away 10 metres at the Next penalty and misses the first-up tackle before the crucial last minute try. 🤣

Followed by a great gesture where he gave his MoM medal to the Little Italian guy that made the winning try.
-
Wales were arrogant. Never looked intense and looked like they assumed they would just win.
And probably fair enough.
Fail.
-
@catogrande Missed that. Classy.
-
Well done Italy winning in the last minute with a brilliant try. Hope they can push on my from this. Wales all class in defeat.
Feel gutted for AWJ (man's a fuckin' legend) and @MiketheSnow.

just saw it - that was a hell of a try. Sensational running from the 15, with a great pass and support line at the end

Love the way the medic is running down the sideline screaming at him to pass infield.

Not enough Friday night beers at The Angel obviously. I was always played much better on a Sunday after a decent Saturday night, at least I think I did!

No losers today

Second best
So happy for Italy
Beat us by playing rugby
As it should be
Fantastic

Tough day @MiketheSnow , but good for rugby in the long run. lord knows we've been waiting for Italy to start consistently putting a good team out

Hopefully it will put the idea of SA replacing Italy to bed
7 nations or fuck off

Holy shit! Just caught this and that last try. First start for the fullback?! That run was fire and perfect set up and pass.
Awesome emotion and Wales showed real class with the result. They'll be hurting hard though. -

I still reckon the 6 nations needs a promotion/relegation type scenario to give Georgia and Romania something to shoot for.
Both those teams are capable of knocking over the big boys on their day.

Check the table pal, Wales languishing behind the mighty Scots yet again.

@mn5 Oh shit, I thought they had got relegated a few years back.
