      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.

                        Half time.

                        Wales 7 Italy 12.

                        Italy should be more ahead, very much the better side in the First Half.

                            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

                                          Italian team very, very happy. So pleased for their coach Colt.

                                                  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. 🤣

                                                      Wales were arrogant. Never looked intense and looked like they assumed they would just win.

                                                      And probably fair enough.

                                                      Fail.

                                                            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

                                                              Well done Italy winning in the last minute with a brilliant try.

                                                              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.

                                                                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

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

                                                                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!

                                                                                Both those teams are capable of knocking over the big boys Scotland and/or Italy on their day.
