6N 2023 : Italy v Wales
-
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
-
LRZ getting a rest?

Whilst I don't think you're wrong I admire your courage in coming out with that statement!

Blind optimism

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.
-
Outstanding kick, and one helluva bounce.

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.
-
Great attack
Great defence
-
Italy trying to play too much rugby
Playing into our hands
-
Second penalty for wrong side against Wales, but could probably be the tenth.
-
YC coming up
-
Murphy starting to lose grip
-
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. -

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.
-
There was nothing in that
-
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.
-
Faletau a different player with a good scrum half
-
Fuck Tomos Williams has gone backwards at a rate of knots
-
Weird game so far. Should have been much closer if Italy had taken their chances.
Wales look much improved when under pressure.

Best game from Liam Williams for a while though.

Why the fuck are we entertaining this bullshit?
Dumb

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!
Yuuuuuck
-
It wasn’t pretty at times but an emphatic fuck you to the wooden spoon
-
Great analysis of the match
Thanks ITV you useless fluffybunnies
-
Must say Italy are rapidly becoming a really likeable team. Great ambition, some really good players and dangerous anywhere on the pitch. Def. don't deserve to be 0-4 so far.
Wales really improved in this match - much more controlled and composed under pressure.
-
Rhys Webb won that game for Wales by simply playing heads up rugby at times & just doing the right thing not the premeditated thing.
Italy struggled with the favourites tag I feel, the added expectation seemed to make them add more errors into their game. -
Italy need to add a bit of game management. They made some costly errors in that match.

Unforced but mostly forced
