What did he do? Missed that

Fair play to the Welsh team: magnanimous in defeat. No hiding. No deflection.

And Biggar talking straight.

Well played Italy

Italy’s shite tackling let Wales in to the lead so it was kind of Wales to even it up.

Yes, presumably not meaning Alun Wyn even though it should be.

Also Moriarty shoved the Italian winger in the build up to the try which put him in the position to score. Fantastic.

Agree. Like Sexton, anyone thinking he's making it through the RWC is delusional.

Apart from the try, Italy tackling and general defence was excellent. Very few pens and no stupid ones. The weakness has always been being toothless in attack. Maybe they can bring along a new gen that can at least offer a bit of a threat there?

I can quite happily watch England take a thrashing tonight and I’ll still be smiling.

And we’ll still finish 3rd so we are gradually improving towards our world cup domination.

Funny enough, I was seriously thinking the reverse. Ridiculously pleased for Italy.

Not something I've experienced since 2007!

If you search on utub for wales v italy try, scroll a little bit you get the Italian commentary. Passionately restrained. Quite sweet really.

Ironing I think you will find…

I could watch this over and over!

This ones better.

congrats to Italy..well deserved

Over the years in the Washington, DC area, six nation weekend after weekend there was always a hard core group of rugby fans who showed up at 9am or earlier.

It was always the usual suspects with fans (many Irish, many Scottish, etc) but there was always the one lone Italian fan, Corrado who showed up week after week, year after year in his various Italian jerseys...he suffered, caught crap....but was so passionate...never gave up..

He moved out of the area this year, so I hope wherever he is, he has a smile as big as the ocean and having as many pints as he wants...

Forza Italia

That pic looks like a tag team finisher!

Honestly, I go out to buy a pair of boots and miss this?

Sigh...

Congrats Italy. Delighted that your efforts finally bore fruits.

And well done Mr Capuozzo!

It's even better in French

Magnificent.

It's impossible to replicate your birth

I've recently been quite critical of Italy - not the team as such, but their seemingly superfluous membership of the 6N on the back of a 36-match losing streak.

But credit where its due, that was a terrific win in Cardiff today, and I hope their long-suffering fans are still celebrating hard.
