6N 2023 : Italy v Wales

[Bones]

Welsh player on the Italian side at almost every ruck there, then two for the ruck where they get a steal. Come on Murphy.

[Bones]

Who the fuck was that moron Italian who got greedy, then realised he couldn't make it and just held the ball and looked at his support? Dick.

[MiketheSnow]

Great attack

Great defence

[MiketheSnow]

Italy trying to play too much rugby

Playing into our hands

[Bones]

Second penalty for wrong side against Wales, but could probably be the tenth.

[MiketheSnow]

YC coming up

[MiketheSnow]

Murphy starting to lose grip

[MiketheSnow]

We got very lucky there

If we lose this, then none of the fluffybunnies should get a contract

[pooler fan]

Italy throwing it away so far but don't think this result is in the bag for Wales yet.
Italy have butchered 2 or 3 great chances, if they get those opportunities in the 2nd half it could be a different story.

True

But they’ve been under pressure both on defence and attack

They’re playing a brand of rugby which is difficult to defend against but ultimately hasn’t garnered them success

Last night’s game plan from the Italian U-20s is far less showy but ultimately got them the win

[Bones]

Wales start the half with a penalty for wrong side of the ruck. Sharpen up Murphy.

[MiketheSnow]

There was nothing in that

[Bones]

Welsh prop should be ashamed of himself. Little love tap from the teeny winger and he drops like something that drops and cries.

That should be a penalty only.

[MiketheSnow]

Faletau a different player with a good scrum half

[MiketheSnow]

Fuck Tomos Williams has gone backwards at a rate of knots

[Victor Meldrew]

Weird game so far. Should have been much closer if Italy had taken their chances.

Wales look much improved when under pressure.

Best game from Liam Williams for a while though.

[MiketheSnow]

Why the fuck are we entertaining this bullshit?

Dumb

It is horrible watching him prepare for a box kick, got to be the most taking the piss I think I've seen. Rolls the ball outside the ruck with his foot, then back about another metre, takes a step back and reaches out to grab the ball with both hands, then fucks around more doing that and positioning it!

Yuuuuuck

[MiketheSnow]

It wasn’t pretty at times but an emphatic fuck you to the wooden spoon
