6N Wales v Italy

@Dodge said in 6N Wales v Italy:

Depends which way the Italians go for me, if they celebrated too much last week they may subconsciously feel this 6N is already job done. I hope I’m wrong though, if they’re as up for it as last week I fancy Italy to win this, particularly when the benches are emptied in the second half

It could go either way that's for sure.

Home advantage, better centre partnership, North's last game, avoiding Gatland's worst 6N finish.

Hopefully all that will be enough to get us the BP win and deny Italy their BP.

We find a front row and we're not a bad side.

Not looking like the better centre partnership at the moment. menoncello and Brex look awesome. Tompkins is having an absolute nightmare

Take the 3 Wales ya mongs

Italians look bang up for it but it’s controlled aggression not desperation, shows how far they’ve come

Try of the Tournament by Pani?

@pooler-fan Surely Gatland is gone if they lose

This is a bit of a thumping so far.

This might be the end of the road for gats. If the 6N had promotion / demotion we might be talking about warren g relegate.

@Billy-Tell

50+ minutes in and this is the worst Welsh performance I've seen in years.

EDIT: Winnett looks class.

Dodge

Wales score, 11 points behind 15 mins to go, have a horrible feeling about this

sparky

A Welsh revival or a dead cat bounce?

sparky

Wales keep giving away penalties. They can't get any momentum or flow.

sparky

Wales 7 Italy 21. Less than 10 minutes to go.

sparky

Nearly a Louis Lynagh intercept which would have sealed it.

sparky

Another kickable penalty and that's the game.

Dodge

24-7

Italy celebrating. Stop it lads

sparky

Great passion by the Italians. This means so much to them.

sparky

Wales heading to their 4th and their record defeat by Italy.

sparky

Some of these Welsh players looked absolutely puffed. Their legs have gone.

Dodge

Really grown up, competent performance by Italy. I’d swap the England centres for theirs in a heartbeat

sparky

Huge moment for Italian Rugby. This isn't a narrow, lucky win. They've totally out-played Wales.
