6N Wales v Italy

[sparky]

Welsh try right at the end. All of Cardiff cheers even though they've lost the game.

[Dodge]

Was following the commentator talking about wales avoiding the wooden spoon and was annoyed, then realised it couldn’t be true.

Italy coughing up tries at the end should annoy them from a points difference point of view. What a step forward they’ve made in this tournament.

[sparky]

All over.

Wales 21 Italy 24.

Scoreline massively flatters Wales. Italy were excellent and controlled that game for 75 minutes.

[sparky]

Italy's best ever 6 Nations finish apparently.

24-7

Italy celebrating. Stop it lads

They should give themselves an uppercut for how they played after this moment, they switched off completely - you can’t do that in international rugby.

Ball falling off a tee away from 3 wins.

[Victor Meldrew]

If there's an Eddie Jones Law that re-hiring old coaches always ends in tears, then Gatland seems intent on proving it....

Results wise yes but position wise they've been fifth before.

Commiserations @MiketheSnow a tough time to be a Welsh fan.

I thought they showed a lot of spirit in the earlier games but have dropped off badly in the last 2. Looked all over the place today - and nervous.

Seem to have some good new players but you have to question if Gatland is the man.

[Catogrande]

A stat came up on the BBC coverage about Wales' last five 6N placings:

5th
1st
5th
5th
6th

I didn't realise it was that bad.

[pooler fan]

@Jailbreak7 don't think so tbh. I thought it was a step backwards at the time when he returned & he's done nothing to change my mind.
His contract is so big the WRU probably couldn't afford to sack him even if they wanted to.

[pooler fan]

Was thinking watching the game listening to the comments about Wales' lack of physicality yet Gats & his selection team have constantly overlooked someone like Ross Moriarty at 6 who would walk into the current side & at least offer a physical presence.
Some truly strange selections throughout the competition.

Apparently offered to resign which would presumably negate the settlement etc

Writing has been on the wall for a long, long time. Goes far deeper than any coaching setup.

[Bovidae]

My BIL is happy. Two wins in a row for Italy.

[Dodge]

Can’t work out how to post Neil Jenkins complaining to the ref and getting put back in his box. Should have been sent off, should definitely peak WR’s interest

[Duluth]

[antipodean]

That try by Pani in the 46th minute was fantastic.

[Catogrande]

@Dodge

This might work.

🚨Neil Jenkins with a disgraceful exchange with referee Mathieu Raynal, this really isn't on 🤬

The former Welsh out-half Neil Jenkins could be in a bit of trouble after his exchange with match referee Mathieu Raynal.

[antipodean]

@Catogrande hopefully he gets cited. The game would benefit immeasurably by preventing "waterboys" from entering the pitch. And penalizing substitutes who enter the field of play to celebrate a try.
