This game would be at Italy's mercy if they just kept ticking along in disciplined fashion. Since butchering that conversion though they've done anything but.

Italy pretty inaccurate but Wales making it so easy for them.

Italy need to go back to focusing on doing the basics well per the first quarter. They've been dragged into a nervy shitfest since Garbisi missed the conversion.

Wales look completely hapless and hopeless.

Probably a little harsh as italy's line out and scrum are solid.

That is true. But they've let Wales off the hook a few times, and having kicks charged down from rucks is sloppy

Two suspiciously 'flat' passes in quick succession there for Wales to actually get something going. Undone by an unforced error.

:lol: Good timing to score that while Barclay is in the middle of commenting about them retreating to a kicking game.

Lovely running. Makes the Welsh defenders look a bit ordinary there. Thought he was running into a bit of a dead end, but no.

Wales movement all over the pitch is glacial, they're being completely outplayed by this very decent Italian side. Humiliating :sad:

Would like a replay of that hit by Grady on Menoncello.

Edit - there we go. Perhaps a bit lucky for that to be penalty only since it was always high.

Its almost impressive the way Wales find new & inventive ways to fuck up, & string together so many fuck ups .

You'd think they even accidentally do something right occasionally, but no

If the game was closer that could have been a yellow.

First time the ref gives a penalty for coming in at the side. Must be frustrating for the players when he's been letting that go all afternoon so far

Horrendous mullet on Martin. Should be an instant penalty to the opposition if players want to take the field with that sort of thing.

He should pay extra for being responsible for serving up this shite.

He's always happy to make excuses, but this team is poorly selected and poorly prepared. That's his fault.
