Insane given Allan's boot.

That's a terrible lineout

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 2:57 pm**

Welsh players body language is terrible. They look beaten already.

They could try something besides 1 hit-up followed by bad box kick.

Maybe something novel like two forwards arriving at the breakdown at the same time.

Gatland was on his phone playing Candy Crush in the last shot of the coaches box.

Not playing the ref well at all. It doesn't help when the ref ignores Italian infringements either.
"If you do that again it will be a free kick". Err it was a free kick then ffs.
That said Italy by far the better team.

Was quite sad seeing Faletau get absolutely bodied when trying to tackle an Italian forward on the carry

Very!
One of my favourite Welsh players over the years. Injuries (and age) have taken their toll.
Can't really believe that Rowlands and Henry Thomas are still getting capped either.

Know your ref. Carley is w*nk. Ireland would play him like a harp.

Has Jamie Roberts’ jaw got even bigger in retirement? His head is 3/4 jaw.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:09 pm**

13 points is our second largest halftime lead in the 6N

Rowlands i get,Thomas? You know you are in the shit if he is your starting prop

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:16 pm**

Couldn't the ref have sorted his mic out durring the break?

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:22 pm**

The Welsh conditioning seems way off, Italy knocking them back in attack and defence every time

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:22 pm**

Why hook the front row four minutes into the second half? What does that four minutes give you?

Ask Rassie

That last play just about summed it up, good break by the 15 but only the 2 potential Lions read it, reacted to it and chased it hard.

Feeling a bit for the Welsh 10, thought he did pretty well last week but this is an international ending display today

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:26 pm**

If Garbisi wasn’t playing like a drain today this would already be ugly

He's been given fuck all to work with

Allan has lost his radar

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:32 pm**

We are appalling. Thomas shit, Williams shit, Adams shit, the list just goes on and on. Coached by a bunch of has-beens, who probably were never competent or capable to begin with .. Depressing doesn't come close to how I'm feeling at the moment. Fuck it.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:32 pm**

6 points in this weather is essentially the game put out of reach, so two bad misses by Allan.

Wales offside at every other breakdown, nothing coming from the ref.

Maybe, but he hasn’t been great. I’m a big fan, thought he was the best 10 in the competition a couple of seasons ago but he does seem to be going through a bad patch

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:35 pm**

Italy just grinding the clock with that kick.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:36 pm**

Tackler was upright, which exactly the behaviour that world rugby are trying to change. Penalty only, but it needs to be called.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:36 pm**

Italy realll need a few more points here

Taking tips from the lad last night who couldn't kick the skin of a rice pudding. I burst out laughing when he shaped to drop in OT from in front of the posts. Said to the wife he couldn't make that if it was a pen. And he didn't...............

Straight red life ban

Be nice to see this Wales team try something else. Like fishing.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:37 pm**

Hes off.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:38 pm**

Adams gone, yellow for the hit, red review and another yellow for the afters?

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:38 pm**

Yellow to possible red

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:38 pm**

Does that damage Adams' Lions chances?

Reckon that should stay a yellow.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:38 pm**

That has to be red. However unintentionally he's flying headbutted a player in the face.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2025 3:38 pm**

Wales might want to reconsider the up and unders given the absolute success of the last two...
