WALES V ITALY.

by majesticimperialman Sat Mar 19, 2022 2:56 pm

35minutes gone and Italy 12 points to Wales7.

Was not expecting this score in the first half.

by **BigGee** Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:08 pm

Well if Wales thought they only had to turn up today, they were wrong!

by Brendan Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:08 pm

Italy playing smart.

Wales trying to hard but should sort it out second half

by **RiscaGame** Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:10 pm

Get the Dragons boys off the bench. We will sort it.

Played the wrong back row and their lack of attacking ideas are really biting them finally. Plus the third choice scrum half is dump. That said, ponderous Hardy won’t help either.

by **BigGee** Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:22 pm

Ioane should have assed that!

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:24 pm

Can someone tell Jiffie we ARE watching Rolling Eyes

by **RiscaGame** Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:25 pm

Great corner flagging Adams.

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:27 pm

Gareth Davies has really regressed hasn’t he.

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:29 pm

That was a knock-on - he only regathered it after it bounced back off an Italian ...

by **RiscaGame** Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:34 pm

Good scrummaging Brown heart

by majesticimperialman Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:37 pm

Wales scored 2yrie but Italy take the lead with 5 penalties.

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:45 pm

Wales need to concentrate - soft offside pen and some frantic passes ...

by Guest Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:47 pm

We’re terrible!

by formerly known as Sam Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:47 pm

Welsh discipline has been really poor. The AWJ recall hasn't paid off at all. Wales need to just remain calm and keep working the Italian defence as I think they will tire and give up another try.

Italy have been really good. Worked so hard and brought a kick chase that is causing a lot of problems for Wales.

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:50 pm

If Italy had converted the good chances they had either side of half-time it would be an interesting scoreline - would still have not written off the come-back kings though as it may have woken them up a bit

by majesticimperialman Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:51 pm

Nice try by Adams.

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:53 pm

Dewi Lake has been good. It would be nice to have him and Owens available.

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:55 pm

Robbed

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:57 pm

Tough one

by **BigGee** Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:02 pm

Last chance for Italy?

by **BigGee** Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:03 pm

Oh my God!

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:03 pm

Omg…

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:04 pm

Pivac has to go now. No more excuses.

by majesticimperialman Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:04 pm

What a fantastic try. under the post as well Italy just might win their first game of the 6ns.

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:04 pm

Wow what a try

by Geordie Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:04 pm

Wow....

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:05 pm

Great game from Italy today.

by Guest Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:05 pm

How embarrassing!

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:05 pm

Can’t help but feel pleased for them…

by Geordie Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:06 pm

Italy might be starting to get it right....their U20s have some talent coming through aswell...

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:06 pm

Well you can't say Italy didn't deserve that

by Guest Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:06 pm

Can we still finish 3rd?! Or last?!

by Duty281 Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:06 pm

What an amazing try. That was a proper 80 minute effort from Italy. Wales humiliated, seemed to only play in patches, far too many basic errors.

by majesticimperialman Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:07 pm

Any one thought Wales could not lose this game. have all been proven wrong right now.

Well played ITALY. clap

by **RDW** Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:07 pm

Holy crap what a result - can't begrudge that one!

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:08 pm

Is that their first away win?

by mikey_dragon Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:09 pm

5th, think Italy will be last due to point difference?

They’ve beat us and Scotland away from home I think.

by **RiscaGame** Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:10 pm

Great stuff. This has been a long time coming. Pivac is a bluffer. Awful selection and zero game plan.

Yeah, I remember that Murrayfield game. Was a crazy start for Italy.

Twice at Murrayfield - I was at both!

Brilliant by Italy, well doen to them, and congratulations to any fans they have posting here.

As for Wales that is rock bottom, Wales really need to break apart this coaching team and squad and start from the ground up. We've been crushed by NewZealand and Ireland recently by big margins and now beaten in Cardiff by Italy in a game we were losing on the score board for most of the match.

I've seen worse from Wales over the years but now would be a good time to change things.

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:14 pm

I didn't realise they'd won that many before ... been a long wait for another win

by Guest Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:16 pm

Apologies for my disingenuous comments. Feeling the agony of a loss. Calling it an embarrassment takes away from the Italy win. Awesome from them. Well done clap

by **BigGee** Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:17 pm

It would have been nice if Biggar had started by saying well done Italy!

by majesticimperialman Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:17 pm

I am not saying that Wales gave Italy the game, but in the first half Wales had 3/4 penalties in the first half in Italy's own half and did not take the points why.

by Heaf Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:18 pm

Don't sweat it Oracle - we've all been there in the emotion of the moment ...

I was at 1. Quite rainy as I remember it. Then 2 Italians were trying to goad me after the win. Good night tho!

by **BigGee** Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:18 pm

Nope, he did not even mention Italy!

by No 7&1/2 Sat Mar 19, 2022 4:19 pm

Wonderful setup by Capuozzo wasn't it. What a step.
