Welsh team named tomorrow
Call from pundits and ex-players to give fringe players a shot in what is being regarded as an automatic victory
FUCK THAT
As we saw last weekend a moment of inaccuracy can see you playing all but 82 seconds of the match with 14 men
A 14-man Wales are not good enough to beat a 15-man Italy
Pick the best team available
Get them playing the way Pivac wants
Then if we're well ahead bring on the bench to slot in to that pattern
Not let it disintegrate into a free for all
It’s only Italy. The team could play pissed and still put 20 on them.
Not enough Friday night beers at The Angel obviously. I was always played much better on a Sunday after a decent Saturday night, at least I think I did!

No losers today

Second best
So happy for Italy
Beat us by playing rugby
As it should be
Fantastic

Hopefully it will put the idea of SA replacing Italy to bed
7 nations or fuck off

Holy shit! Just caught this and that last try. First start for the fullback?! That run was fire and perfect set up and pass.
Awesome emotion and Wales showed real class with the result. They'll be hurting hard though. -

I still reckon the 6 nations needs a promotion/relegation type scenario to give Georgia and Romania something to shoot for.
Both those teams are capable of knocking over the big boys on their day.

Check the table pal, Wales languishing behind the mighty Scots yet again.

Narrow empty streets maybe…..look, just cos they beat you guys doesn’t make them all that. They used to beat the Scots too
Also Georgia are ranked above them

@mikethesnow good attitude in defeat mate.
Was happy to watch the joy in all those players faces.
No such thing as a dead rubber in rugby (3rd v 4th in WC excepted)

Interesting bit, he certainly looked like a teen but, man, brave out there
The man who set up the try and makes it so delightful is fullback Ange Capuozzo. He's 22, but looks 13. He's also tiny, weighing just 68kg. The last time the All Blacks fielded a player that small was in 1964, when Derek Arnold played against France..
