Ioane had to look to use the man alongside him! Chance missed.

At this stage of the game it really is. Kind of got away with it but this will have to be a flawless final 20

Italy with a new 9, but Wales no longer carrying AWJ. Who's going to come out of the changes best.

Common AWJ did his part.

He did what he could, but he's been spent at this level for a while. The Welsh just won't let go.

He's been out for ages. They've brought him back as soon as he's fit to get him to his 50 and become the most capped player ever.
Thanks - I wasn't sure if this was a 'thanks for your service' against a team they were confident of winning or he has been out injured and is now back in the team.
There's been talk about him going to the next world cup. He basically only plays international rugby these days, much like Sexton, so it could well happen.

More fool them, one of the most overrated players in the world now imo. He's carried on playing for too long and isn't that effective any more.
Rowlands is a far better player now - he's been one of their best players in this 6N - they were mad to drop him.

100%, it's taken him a little time to grow into it, but he's a bona fide international calibre player now.

Moriarty's hands were clearly on the floor for the turnover that led to it. Would have been a travesty for them to score from yet another dodgy turnover.

Ahh well.

There has been clear improvement from Italy through the tournament so that’s something to take from this year. Just too many weak links but hopefully the young guys coming through can plug some of those gaps.

Hopefully today keeps the critics at bay for a short while

Real shame for the Italians, they were good value for a win there. Looked the better side for most of the game.

So the key takeaway from this is that Italy are a lot more competitive than some people think

Absolutely this. Also they have some good players in their U20's.
