Wales v Italy 2024 6N

Eibhir

Italy 6 nil. Really solid start.

Bbc comms whining about that. Its a clear push off the ball

Clegg

I'm really not convinced by the argument that Gatland is building something with Wales. They're poor at just about everything.

Clegg

Reynal has to give a yellow to Wales. Killed the ball close to the line when a try was on if the recycle was allowed to happen.

Menoncello excellent again so far

This is it

Lovely offloading there, nice try

Dick phelan

Italy are capable of pulling some nice moves together.

Ben Bailey

Italy are playing rugby

Wales are not

This is it

Hopefully that doesn't come back to haunt them... :/

And of course he doesn't give a card after the try is scored.

Shehal

And crucially Wales now have score 19 unanswered points to avoid the wooden spoon.

Whatever way this fixture works out, Quesada has been the most impactful Head Coach in their history.

He deserves massive credit for organising and disciplining some decent raw talent.

Really, Italy should be finishing today with 3 W's, and thats remarkable.

Italy look by far the better team. If they can keep this up and reduce the number of jackal opportunities they're giving Wales, they'll put up a few tries here.

This is straight from the Eddie Jones play book on how to keep you're job despite the poor results.

Clegg

Ireland beating Italy 36-0 looks a better result every game now.

Clegg

Huge turnover from Lamaro.

I really don't get Garbisi though. Can do some wonderful things at times, but is liable for at least one massive every game.

Ben Bailey

Embarrassing stuff

Clegg

That's Wales tournament tournament in a nutshell.

Italy lofts an aimless kick into the 22, but Wales don't call who'll field it so two players collide into each other to knock it on.

fitz

Wales consistently "rolling away" from the ruck directly into the ball and getting away with it. Lamaro needs to have a word with Raynal.

Clegg

George North deserves a better send off than this.

Madeoface

Don't see any building going on in Wales as others have said. I feel sorry for George North.

This is it

I don't know the law, do you not have to let the player get up if they've gone to ground to secure the ball?

I remember the days when Wales were actually good (and arrogant too)
