6N 2022 : Wales v Italy

[NTA]

MOTM was the Italian hooker. Crucial turnovers, good set piece.

Italy would be further ahead if Ioane had drawn and passed instead of trying to beat them man on the outside.

I would have gone with this, in slo-mo

@nta hah, the ref's face! He looked like he'd just reffed his last match.

[Hooroo]

@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)

[Machpants]

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..

I always thought Arfa Stone was the lightest All Black

That was a cracking try to finish the game as well. Great to see what it meant to the players too.

I really like what you did there

[Nevorian]

Looks like he is winning off the field also

[cgrant]

His counter attack was cullenesque ... Body swerve and deadly acceleration.

A step that put Michael Flatley to shame

[antipodean]

I get the feeling Wales would do a lot better if the myth of AWJ was put out to pasture.

[Paekakboyz]

@mikethesnow would have broken both my ankles and popped my hip!! Best swerve and step I've seen this year.

It's not a great time for Welsh rugby. They've an aging team, their u20s only beat a rabble of a Scottish side and all their regions look like missing out on the top 8 of the URC. Meanwhile the WRU have just built a hotel. Priorities!

If five of our best performers this 6N had been selected to start - Francis, Rowlands, Basham, Cuthbert, Liam Williams - the result would have been very different

And Scott Williams should have been brought in at 12 from the start

Colin Charvis speaking on BBC Wales Scrum V was correct

You don’t become a shit team overnight

A better game plan with the players we have and we get different results

For that reason, the first to go is Pivac

NOW

Shit selections
No real, modern game plan

Then Jones
Unless he’s toeing the Pivac line

And the new hotel is magnificent and a far better return on investment than Pivac
