I did enjoy Campagnaro’s analysis of Dan Biggar in the build up “he’s very irritating and complains a lot”

Italy playing well. They could get to 20 mins and be on the Welsh line before one of them throws an easy intercept for a Welsh run in and then a collapse.

Hartley's doing alright at dragging him back to reality. The sooner he joins Gusset on the scrap pile the better, mind.

It must be awful. There was no need for the Italians to screw up that restart.

Atmosphere a bit tepid to start the match.
Haven't muted the commentary yet, indicating it's currently at a level of 'annoying as per usual',

Italy's maul defence was good there. Didn't budge. Pretty big to come away from successive drives and penalties without conceding.

Well that's the kind of silly mistake you normally see from Italy...

Think the Italians should turn the screw on in the scrum. Looks easy for them to hold.

Dio mio! Italy. On the attack and building momentum. Stupid kick for some reason but they get lucky and falls to an Italian forward. Forward then tries a miracle pass as being tackled and 6 inches off the ground. Falls to Wales. 1 min later Wales try.

Has AWJ been injured or is this a valedictory 150 caps?

AWJ so far in from the side he should have been wearing blue there.

He might be, but we had no 9s going into the RWC and he answered the call up when he could just have easily said thanks but no thanks

He wasn't even first choice for Glaws when picked up by Italy. I'm not sure Italy couldn't do better at 9 by just calling up their U20s guys.

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.

Christ, I wish Biggar would stfu.
No idea what Neville's angling for here, nothing wrong with the air contest.

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.
