    Nice handy one to start. Italian jerseys look very French.

    Italy wrongfully pinged for hands on in the ruck, and Wales not pinged for hand in the ruck

    Italians getting no luck from the officials already.
    Wainwright took Canna past the ruck after coming in at the side, literally a foot in front of the AR who looked away.
    I know they turn a blind eye but that was two.

    I enjoy it too, but it's a sport with a very small pool of professionals...and rules that change week to week it seems because they are so ambiguous...also beard no hands with the previous clear out

    Tasty, but why wasn't the Italian 14 pushing out? There were two inside covering Biggar.
    Really poor defence.

    The way Biggar was facing 'seemed' to indicate the ball wasn't going any farther. As intended. Still poor defence, but well done by Biggar to make it look as though he wasn't going to pass it.

    That was good play from Biggar, I think. But in general Italy are just a poor side. Shown some nice touches in attack, but their defence is diabolical. Been a few times when one long pass from Wales has led to overlaps being created against the defence. That's shouldn't happen at test level.

    As much as Italy might get ridden by refs, Italy would do your ****ing head in at times.

    Their u20's beat Wales last night. The raw talent is there, I think. Their problem is getting that to translate to senior level. Benneton are doing well these days, but that hasn't given the national side a boost either.

    Rugby has laws not rules and those laws by nature are open to interpretation

    Sarto has been appalling defensively. Constantly too narrow leaving oceans of space on his outside. At one stage he was basically shoulder to shoulder with Morisi 15m in from the touchline. Kids wouldnt be that bad.

    It’s a shame to see Italy perform like this. If they 2/3 more Bennetons they could be a competitive rugby nation

    What are italy doing with Parisse? Some sort of ceremonial role? Load of nonsense and diminishes the role of captain that takes to the field.

    Italy are quite good at those offloads out of the tackle. Shame they haven't the skill level to then capitalise. Keep knocking on from the subsequent ruck.
