First topic message reminder :

Afternoon all,

Well we are soon to kick off. I wish both sides the best of luck but secretly i will be hoping Wales win and go on to win the Slam Smile

Women's match on later... Drool

Sorry Cari! Very Happy

... is Dreamer there? thought I saw a look-alike just to the right of halfway near the front?

I just think Wales should have scored a couple more tries but Italy's defence has been pretty tight most of the match and has been able to make all those tackles. Still 10 minutes to go though.

+1

he is the most annoying player in world rugby

Good player Webb, very happy for him to get a start.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:07

Linebreaker - no, she's back down West Wales I believe.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:08

Have they forgotten about Leigh HP? Seems like a long binning....

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:08

Surely the sin bin is over now, its been 13 minutes? censored

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:09

Ryan Jones kicking the ball away...

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:09

Webb!!! Obstruction Doh

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:10

Hook on for 1/2p.

Wales need to score here.

by Casartelli Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:10

Rhys Webb still playing like he's on Newbridge Fields for the Ath youth...

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:10

Ouch 1/2p has been punished there.

by Morgannwg Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:10

Clancy is too whistle happy.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:11

Clancy will be off Jiffy's Xmas card list then... Very Happy

Should have been Hook instead of Priestland from kick off. Tbh.

No idea what his yellow was for. Nor Priestlands in the England game. And they say the refs have been helping us out....

by Cadair Idris Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:12

Why on earth is hook not being tried at 10? Priestland has been poor again. I feel for halfpenny here, parisse and his football antics made that a yellow card. He did the same against england.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:12

GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN Cuffy!!!

by whocares Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:12

Hope Charteris doesnt start next week... Wink

by **Pal Joey** Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:13

Cuthbert... he so deserved that try! clap

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:13

Great try by Cuthbert clap

Bit dodgy in the leadup though.

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:13

Thank god for that! Yahoo

by bsando Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:13

Good try!! Cuthbert deserved that one, been really good all day. clap

Balls. Nevermind lad. 24 - 3.

by Casartelli Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:14

If Priestland plays against France they'll stick fifty on us.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:14

Come on boys, send them home!!!

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:15

That restart went 10? Whistle

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:16

Cuffy IS MOTM. Told you! clap

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:16

Well played Wales but it certainly wasnt the crunching that many people were thinking that it would be.

A much improved effort from Italy.

by mystiroakey Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:16

certainly not a classic. but job done wales

by **Biltong** Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:16

You have to give credit to Italy, they made this difficult for Wales

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:16

21 point margin, 2 tries, not a bad evenings work to be honest.
Another try might of helped though, but then again at least it will focus Wales before France.

by TycroesOsprey Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:17

Job done, I think their eyes were a little bit on next week really.

Clancy was annoying as hell for both sides.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:17

Absolutely. Italy badly need a decent ten though.

Well done lads. I wish people would shut up about the GS though.

Oh god it's Jason Mohammed who's a complete knob!!!

by Morgannwg Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:18

Eager to see France on sunday now, if they lose, they'll come to Cardiff and win.

Fair play to Italy, their defence was magnificent. Parrise's football antics were poor and Halfpenny was wrongly binned.

i think them stats are abit flattering lets be honest- italy did well out there, wales were not at there best. but winning games like that by 21 is testiment to em

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:18

Just how many tackles did Italy make in the end? Must be over 120 surely

I can't see gatland changing for france, but priestland has really gone backwards as this 6 nations has gone on.

by nobbled Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:18

Job done by Wales. How the Italians kept up that tackle rate I'll never know.
Well done Wales.

by GavinDragon Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:19

if every referee reffed with the same interpretation as clancy the game as a spectacle would die.....so frustrating

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:19

Someone needs to tell Cuffy the match has sold out next week already....

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:19

121 tackles

by Casartelli Sat 10 Mar 2012, 16:19

It would be tremendously funny if Cuthbert just punched Jason Mohammed in the face.

Then hit a front double biceps pose for the fans...

Job done , The Italians played like a side who were focused on damage limitations.

I think the yellow card killed the big finish for Wales to be honest.

OH NO MY TV HAS FROZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh OK it's back.
