Very nice work by Italy out of defence. Wales finally given a card.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 5:29 pm**

A half of two halves.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 5:30 pm**

Well that was mostly shite from Wales but only 40 more minutes to go, so every cloud and all that.

I dont think we've given away a penalty in the scrum have we? Happy days.

Probably the only place we haven't.

I see Ken Owens on S4C isn't on message with Toby/Taulupe.

No, calling him Toby.

Jesus, Meyer waddled over there. This Welsh defending has all but disappeared.

Anyway, more things to worry about.

Forza Italia!

Nice try.

So far playing well. But, you always know that Italy can implode at any time.

Oh yeah, I fully expect them to blow it somewhere between minutes 65 and 70.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:05 pm**

Hooray! Davies over. He does manage to finish trys well.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:20 pm**

Nothing personal I was just hoping Italy would win this one.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:21 pm**

Missed that try.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:28 pm**

Nice try, good choice to give it to Tips at the end. Faletau has done really well this match.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:28 pm**

Another match where loads of points for one side happen in the last 20mins. Match fitness?

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:29 pm**

Could we play Faletau and Tipuric in the centre?

Gog they're calling Faletau "Toby" on Amazon as well!

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:34 pm**

YES!!!! Fifth place, Welsh rugby is back.

Very decent performance mate. Should get the Italy out brigade off your back for a while

Up to eighth in the rankings would be good.

Posted: **Sat Dec 05, 2020 6:45 pm**

Amazon commentary was some of the most one-eyed stuff you'll ever hear. Multiple players being hailed as nailed-on Lions starters. Faletau and Tipuric apparently combined better than any Welsh back rows ever. Players making bad decisions or bad mistakes getting immediately talked up. Quite remarkable stuff.

Didn't watch. I figured if it's reached the point where I'm swearing at other posters for no reason then it's time to switch the TV off and step away from the keyboard...

Good old fashioned wet weather.

Well I thought 2nd half was a bit dumb rugby on show, I am wondering if RA will be real happy, Rennie has taken them to a 16.66% winning record in first year, I really thought he would do better,

Watched it on esspedwarec. The only obvious bias was defending Liam Wms because he hit the guy with his elbow and not his shoulder, as if that made a difference. Am I right in thinking he can’t be cited because Barnes said the clear-out was ok? I think he did anyway.

Posted: **Sun Dec 06, 2020 11:02 am**

Much improved rugby yesterday I thought. Enjoyed being a genuine neutral for a good contest between Fiji and Georgia.
Scotland very poor - Hogg for me had a stinker and everything led off from there.
Italy looking increasingly promising - could have beaten both Wales and Scotland with a bit of luck and if they up their fitness

Hogg needs time back at Exeter.

Hasn't helped his form since taking the captaincy
Not a patch on how he played for Chiefs before the internationals!!!

Posted: **Sun Dec 06, 2020 11:48 am**

Part of me wonders whether he’s too hard on his own mistakes - he looked jumpy and nervous yesterday

Posted: **Sun Dec 06, 2020 11:54 am**

Anyone have a nicely formatted team sheet

He's making too many simple mistakes, even managed to make Stockdale look good yesterday.

I thought he had a decent game yesterday, certainly not a stinker although a couple of big mistakes. I don’t know why but he seems to attract loads more criticism than other players, it’s very odd.
