14-0 after 7 minutes.

This is painful watching.

Could be over well before half time if Italy keep going like this

Game is already done, it's just a matter of how many Wales score. Italy have regressed something serious the last few years.

Edit: then they score I stand by my original assessment though!

Back on, my bets aren't dead yet.

thomond2006

Well at least Italy look to found a gem in Matteo Minozzi. Great try.

Subpopulus

Smashing from Minozzi.

ScrubsfanChris

That's more like it

bloodless_coup

Nice kick

Subpopulus

C'mon Italy. Make this a game.

thomond2006

At the start of the season the Pro14 website featured Minozzi as a player to watch : https://www.pro14rugby.org/2017/09/23/one-watch-matteo-minozzi/

Italy with ball are getting there. Without ball they're still ****e

thomond2006

That chip kick. Fantastic.

That's a brilliant kick from Evans...maybe ahead though?

thomond2006

That should be overturned. Unlucky.

OldRio

What a kick

Shefwedfan

God Italy are sho**ing sh*t......

After they didn't vote with Ireland I think we should vote to kick them out.....

They are a joke to the tournament at this stage

thomond2006

Shocker from Parisse.

Tommaso Allan seems to have come on a lot in the past season.

Parisse has been very poor

Surprisingly Parisse is having a very poor game

Subpopulus

You can rely on Italy to make some clanger of a mistake once every 10 minutes.

Bridge93

Italy have been the better team

Parisse has been muck all this 6 nations. Really he should be a bench player at this stage but Italy have no replacement

nice_guy80

Welsh player put his hand on the ball twice to slow it down

nice_guy80

Wales go over the top at nearly every breakdown

don't know how they get away with it

about 6 penalties now

They are well in this game. With the Scots at home next weekend, will be a competitive game too.

Missed the England/France games. But you're right, there really are no better options.

ScrubsfanChris

Italy still making the same basic mistakes, Wales are pedestrian and look even disinterested

A-Train

Williams with a dirty hit surprise surprise

bloodless_coup

Shoulder to head, send him off

Shefwedfan

Red card

Jack Kanoff

It's a red...I agree.

Ref bottled that... doesn't matter what he did with the arm after.

fitz

Clear red, Garces completely bottled that.

nice_guy80

Wales consistently get away with dangerous chop tackles and poor technique

mangobob

Very lucky boy.

ScrubsfanChris

Unlike many previous, I don't think Williams intended that but it was surely a red card anyway?
Hit to the neck? Caught him square in the chops by the look if it.

Shefwedfan

That is a disgrace.....he clearly hit his head.....

elefant

Has Warburton retired from playing with Wales?

If not, surely he's incapable of being an unbiased analyst.

Larbre34

C'est une carte rouge, touts les jours.

Hes been a part time player his whole career.

He's just said that the yellow could have been red ... fair enough

Just saw the tackle. Amazed it's not a red given similar instances.

Bridge93

Knock on not called, going to cost Italy. Everything going Wales way

thomond2006

Liam Williams still handing out dirty cheap shots. In other news 2+2 still equals 4.

mangobob

Italian defence is made of styrofoam.

Italian prop holding onto around 3 Welsh on the ground there, hilarious, was pulling them down over him and all. Hinesesque!

mangobob

Italy would absolutely break your heart.

ScrubsfanChris

Georgia are surely not far away from being involved now? Whether it's relegation or just adding a 7th team I has to happen.

You would still take Italy to beat Georgia 9 times out of 10
