Oh dear, not sure how Cuthbert is still involved, it shows how little depth and experience we have on the wing,...hope Liam Williams is back soon.

Not a great start but one of the luckiest players to make the squad...!

Looks like Scott Williams has put that bad first game behind him, he was good last week and is again showing his skills and creativity.

And to think everyone was complaining about Priestland being a confidence player...
Poor old Cuthbert
He has a face like Droopy the Dog at the moment.

Looks like we now might have to bring Cuthbert off. It hasn't been his day so far, and I doubt it will be his day at any point in the world cup.

Our scrums have been really bad in the last few games. The lad who could make a difference is out of the squad...

So many knock-ons, not helpful with the Italian scrum going well.

I think it's pretty serious and will keep him out of the RWC. Hopefully Davies stays fit and we call Phillips back in.

Has Gareth Davies started a game for Wales?
Him and Biggar will have to gel very quickly now :/

Re: Wales vs Italy September 5th Cardiff
I know this isn't going to be a popular question but did anyone else think there was a hint of a forward pass in the build up to Wales try - after the initial break when the 12 passed back inside?

Real depressing game now, no matter what happens really. The atmosphere is dead in the stadium too by the look of it.

The SH teams have nothing to worry about watching the two games today. Cuthbert is going from bad to worse.

Cuthbert is just sh*t let's be honest. He's fast becoming the next Priestland.

Halftime
Positives: Warburton and S.Williams look good
Negatives: Everything else.
Need to get some pace and rhythm in this game, need L.Williams back and a miracle for Webb.

Italy playing well in the first half. Wales not looking so good.
I do hope Webb is allright, will be a shame if he misses out on the RWC.
Wales only 3 points behind, but rearly have to step up in the second half if they are going to win.

It's obvious that Rhys Webbs injury has had a massive psychological effect on the lads

Re: Wales vs Italy September 5th Cardiff
Think Davies will step up and hopefully lessen the blow of Webb going out. Surely Cuthbert has to go! He adds nothing and getting to be a blwdi liability.
Scrum not functioning and second row not looking good in the loose.
Scott is playing well though.

Yeah, it was just going through the motions until halftime. They need to get something going in the second half though or they will be going into the world cup on a downer even if they win.

Spot on with my thoughts.
Allen also looks crap.

Re: Wales vs Italy September 5th Cardiff
Well the only thing this game is doing is lining the WRU coffers, with ticket sales and promoting the second strip.
As for RWC warmup, it's done nothing positive. Confidence will be down after this rubbish performance, loss of first class player (Rhys Webb). Let's hope we don't lose anyone else to injury...
Not sure I can watch thus much more

I think they already were doing that before this game. I doubt they will beat us though.

Clancy is yet to penalise Italy for driving early at the scrum... Big contributing factor to this dull affair.

I'm not sure how much you can read into these games tbh - England looked a lot better this week than they did last week and Wales looked better last week than they have done this week.

Yeah, this game won't have much baring on how Wales perform against England, other than the injuries.
