Ref was utterly shocking & that's from a Wales supporter.
Dee or Biggar should've been carded for persistent infringement.
Lucky win but I'll take it, couple of decent tries. We were always going to be under the cosh for long periods, they have some truly gifted individuals.

Rhys Webb won that game for Wales by simply playing heads up rugby at times & just doing the right thing not the premeditated thing.
Italy struggled with the favourites tag I feel, the added expectation seemed to make them add more errors into their game. -
NZ intensity since halftime has definitely gone up a couple of notches.
-
Don't think I can watch any more of Ben Earl celebrating every little thing like he's won the RWC without punching the TV. 🙄
-
Truly awful by Wales in every aspect. Looks like they didn't have a coaching team behind them at all.
Glad we lost to be honest. -
That backwards spin pass by the NZ loosehead was filthy 😎
-
That was a painful display from Argentina. Was expecting far more from them which failed to materialise, truly awful.
England probably couldn't believe their luck. -
Jonathan Davies on Comms - Italy look better coached, he's not wrong.
-
We have so many decent strike runners but continually fail to get any of them into space.
No creativity at all. -
@MiketheSnow he needs to select players in form for a start. If the Ospreys had a European cup game tomorrow Gareth Thomas & AW Jones wouldn't be starting, yet both started for Wales yesterday.
Tipuric was never going to shine against that Irish pack, we needed a proper physical presence at 6 with Jac Morgan at 7.
It probably wouldn't have affected the result yesterday but we could've been far more competitive up front. -
@Higgins it would've been Italy demoted after the last championship as they finished bottom.
If I was a betting man I'd say Wales will definitely be swapping places with Italy in the 2023 table. -
We were truly awful, wooden spoon incoming.
Can't see this side getting any joy playing Italy never mind the French.
Jiffy saying Wales lacked experience - it was the experienced players stinking the place out.
AWJ ,Tipuric & Halfpenny have been superb servants but their time has gone I'm afraid.
English didn't have to get out of 2nd gear to win that. -
Wales' ruck speed has been abysmal in that opening 40, Gats needs to give them a good rollicking at h/t.
Portugal totally committed as you'd expect. -
@MiketheSnow next week will be interesting in the return fixture just to see how both coaches approach the game.
Wales need to keep Jac Morgan & Wainwright out of the firing line now - both superb yesterday. -
The Welsh hooker will be having nightmares about that fumble for weeks.
-
NZ carriers making far more yardage this half. The 8 is a handful on the front foot.
-
@Duluth The starting XV is scary enough but the thought of Tuisova & Botia off the bench to face a flagging Welsh team playing in 30 degree heat gives me the jitters 😂
-
How has Quade only got 76 caps? Seems to have been around forever.
Boks mightily impressive at times today.
Aus will still smash Wales come RWC unfortunately. 🙄 -

I must admit my last memory of a Portugal rugby side was when Wales beat them by 100+ points back in the 90's sometime.
I'd kinda dismissed this game as a nothing match where we'd play our back-ups & win at a canter. After watching Uruguay last night I had an uneasy feeling about this game, made worse by googling their recent results & seeing they only lost by 10 points against Italy last year.Stand down
We'll stuff them
🤔
I'm saying nothing 😂 -
Uruguay have been fantastic to be honest, some blatant infringing but you can't blame them for pushing the boundaries a little.
Shame that try for the 10 was overturned.
