6N 2022 : Wales v Italy

[Victor Meldrew]

Well done Italy winning in the last minute with a brilliant try. Hope they can push on my from this. Wales all class in defeat.

Feel gutted for AWJ (man's a fuckin' legend) and @MiketheSnow.

just saw it - that was a hell of a try. Sensational running from the 15, with a great pass and support line at the end

Love the way the medic is running down the sideline screaming at him to pass infield.

Welsh team named tomorrow

Call from pundits and ex-players to give fringe players a shot in what is being regarded as an automatic victory

FUCK THAT

As we saw last weekend a moment of inaccuracy can see you playing all but 82 seconds of the match with 14 men

A 14-man Wales are not good enough to beat a 15-man Italy

Pick the best team available

Get them playing the way Pivac wants

Then if we're well ahead bring on the bench to slot in to that pattern

Not let it disintegrate into a free for all

It’s only Italy. The team could play pissed and still put 20 on them.

Not enough Friday night beers at The Angel obviously. I was always played much better on a Sunday after a decent Saturday night, at least I think I did!

[MiketheSnow]

No losers today

We got what we deserved

Second best

So happy for Italy

Beat us by playing rugby

As it should be

Fantastic

Like Japan v South Africa at RWC15. legendary, because they played, and created.

Tough day @MiketheSnow , but good for rugby in the long run. lord knows we've been waiting for Italy to start consistently putting a good team out

Absolutely

Hopefully it will put the idea of SA replacing Italy to bed

7 nations or fuck off

[Paekakboyz]

Holy shit! Just caught this and that last try. First start for the fullback?! That run was fire and perfect set up and pass.
Awesome emotion and Wales showed real class with the result. They'll be hurting hard though.

I still reckon the 6 nations needs a promotion/relegation type scenario to give Georgia and Romania something to shoot for.

Both those teams are capable of knocking over the big boys on their day.

Check the table pal, Wales languishing behind the mighty Scots yet again.

@mn5 Oh shit, I thought they had got relegated a few years back.

Give it a rest

Italy are streets ahead of the best of the rest

Narrow empty streets maybe…..look, just cos they beat you guys doesn’t make them all that. They used to beat the Scots too

Also Georgia are ranked above them

[NTA]

MOTM was the Italian hooker. Crucial turnovers, good set piece.

Italy would be further ahead if Ioane had drawn and passed instead of trying to beat them man on the outside.

I would have gone with this, in slo-mo

@nta hah, the ref's face! He looked like he'd just reffed his last match.
