Italy v Wales

[sparky]

Just to about to start. 12 of the Italian lineup were victors in Cardiff last year. Can they make history again?

Two stirring renditions of the anthems, despite the rain.

[sparky]

Nearly a very early Welsh try. But the cross field kick didn't quite sit up for Josh Adams. Lively start.

@sparky closer than we got in the 80 last week.

"Field position is important in the game"

Genius insight from Miles Harrison

[sparky]

Lots of kicking. Nine lineouts already.

Lots of kicking.

Most of it as shit as the commentary

[sparky]

Conditions not helping but neither of these are easy sides to watch.

[sparky]

Kick over from Ben Thomas.

Italy 3 Wales 3

Cat and mouse from both teams.

[Victor Meldrew]

Great finish after a good kick from Garbisi

Zero attacking shape to Wales' "gameplan"

Arguably the worst Welsh team I've seen in the last couple of decades, sadly.

[Victor Meldrew]

Italy the more intelligent team by far.

[African Monkey]

Wales getting outmuscled up front so far. They did however have some success attacking the blindside, so something for them to attack in the 2nd half.

[sparky]

Italy ahead 16-3 at the break and well deserving their lead.

[sparky]

If the result stays like this then Georgia will sit above Wales in the world rankings for the first time.

Agreed

And I watched the 90s

[sparky]

Wales 40 minutes from what would be their 14th consecutive defeat.

[sparky]

Energetic start to the second half by Wales by let down by poor kicking.

Josh Adams not doing his Lions chances any harm. Looks hungry.
