      Not unhappy with that team

      Tipuric starting and North on the bench notwithstanding

      Hawkins to 10 if Williams shits the bed?

      We’ll have too much off the bench for them and will ease away in the last 20

                  The Gatland tombola continues. I know they're not playing well but at least give some combinations time to bed in.
                  Changes for changes sake, he seems to be blindly picking some players in the forlorn hope that something clicks into place.
                  Italy by 10.

                    This is the sort of fixture that sorts out the professionals from the amateurs in tipping competitions.

                      This Welsh lock makes Itoje look like an amateur when it comes to celebration and bluster. Give it a rest, no need to scream and high five half your team just because the opposition knocked it on under no pressure.

                              So far, Welsh kicking has been top notch. Webb is having a cracker.

                              Italy are asleep.

                              Is Crowley in charge of backs/attack coach? Love the way they manipulate space.

                                Welsh player on the Italian side at almost every ruck there, then two for the ruck where they get a steal. Come on Murphy.

                                  Who the fuck was that moron Italian who got greedy, then realised he couldn't make it and just held the ball and looked at his support? Dick.

                                        Second penalty for wrong side against Wales, but could probably be the tenth.

                                              We got very lucky there

                                              If we lose this, then none of the fluffybunnies should get a contract

                                                Italy throwing it away so far but don't think this result is in the bag for Wales yet.
                                                Italy have butchered 2 or 3 great chances, if they get those opportunities in the 2nd half it could be a different story.

                                                  True

                                                  But they’ve been under pressure both on defence and attack

                                                  They’re playing a brand of rugby which is difficult to defend against but ultimately hasn’t garnered them success

                                                  Last night’s game plan from the Italian U-20s is far less showy but ultimately got them the win

                                                    Wales start the half with a penalty for wrong side of the ruck. Sharpen up Murphy.

                                                        Welsh prop should be ashamed of himself. Little love tap from the teeny winger and he drops like something that drops and cries.

                                                        That should be a penalty only.

                                                              Weird game so far. Should have been much closer if Italy had taken their chances.

                                                              Wales look much improved when under pressure.

                                                                    It is horrible watching him prepare for a box kick, got to be the most taking the piss I think I've seen. Rolls the ball outside the ruck with his foot, then back about another metre, takes a step back and reaches out to grab the ball with both hands, then fucks around more doing that and positioning it!

                                                                          Wales really improved in this match - much more controlled and composed under pressure.

                                                                            Italy struggled with the favourites tag I feel, the added expectation seemed to make them add more errors into their game.
