6N Wales v Italy

[Catogrande]

A stat came up on the BBC coverage about Wales' last five 6N placings:

5th
1st
5th
5th
6th

I didn't realise it was that bad.

[pooler fan]

@Jailbreak7 don't think so tbh. I thought it was a step backwards at the time when he returned & he's done nothing to change my mind.
His contract is so big the WRU probably couldn't afford to sack him even if they wanted to.

Was thinking watching the game listening to the comments about Wales' lack of physicality yet Gats & his selection team have constantly overlooked someone like Ross Moriarty at 6 who would walk into the current side & at least offer a physical presence.
Some truly strange selections throughout the competition.

Apparently offered to resign which would presumably negate the settlement etc

Writing has been on the wall for a long, long time. Goes far deeper than any coaching setup.

[Bovidae]

My BIL is happy. Two wins in a row for Italy.

[Dodge]

Can’t work out how to post Neil Jenkins complaining to the ref and getting put back in his box. Should have been sent off, should definitely peak WR’s interest

That try by Pani in the 46th minute was fantastic.

[Catogrande]

@Dodge

This might work.

@Catogrande hopefully he gets cited. The game would benefit immeasurably by preventing "waterboys" from entering the pitch. And penalizing substitutes who enter the field of play to celebrate a try.

Ref was poor but we were poorer for not adapting to what he was seeing

I was pitch level and the touch judge was blind. Missed so many crooked throw ins and forward passes from both sides

Shittest performance I’ve seen from Wales live

EVER

Pathetic

My missus’ mum texted during the match

She turned over to BBC 2 to watch Schindler’s List

It was less depressing

Our tactic today was based on luck

Hope they drop the ball from a kick

That’s not coaching

In stark contrast to multiple pay outs Eddie.

Kudos to him for showing integrity.

Needs a better publicist so he can magnanimously claim he's set them up for future success.

A blight on the game and Neil Jenkins should have more respect for the games's ethos and the officials. Give Refs the power to award a penalty to the opposition at halfway to stamp out this crap.
