[2022 Six Nations] Wales vs Italy (19/03/22)

[TRF_Olyy]

Better than Ntamack vs NZ tbh

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ioane been such a good poach imagine Odogwu with him

Brace is Irish

Brace was born in Wales and apparently grew up between there and Ireland. He went to University in Wales and head a stint in Belgium where he played for the Belgian team but he's part of the Irish union so can ref Wales. Not the first ref to be in such a position.

 

[Smurfy]

Brace is Irish

He’s actually welsh but based in Limerick. I think he’s an excellent ref who is happy not to be front and centre in a game. Very unfussy and always seems to be well positioned.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ioane

+10pts for spelling his name right

Does my head in when commentators call him "Y-own" - There's enough players called Ioane in the sport (including Digby who was pretty well known) that they really should learn to say it

 

[Wichita]

Wales are not looking at the bottom of the pit... yet !
But they will have to do the simple things better.

Was referring to his tri internationalism

Generally makes a few mistakes when I've watched him. Also don't like that he lets the ball stay in the scrum. If it can be used, get it out.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I guess that kick is in the same country at least.

 

[General Melchett]

Wales don't deserve a BP win here

 

[Reiser99]

Wales don't deserve a BP win here

Wales don't deserve a win right now.

 

[Which Tyler]

Wales don't deserve a win right now.

Not really convinced they deserve an BP loss at the moment.
Real pity that Ione got hit by white line fever when a simple pass would have been enough - and even just having the ball in both hands might have been enough.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

This Welsh side scored 3 tries against England, that is how **** our defence is.

Italy really should have got at least 1 try from somewhere.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How was that turnover good?
Navidi ripped it on the floor, no release at all

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a joke

 

[Jimbo]

Tackler away but proceed to allow the turn over that poor reffing

 

[Reiser99]

And there is Brace making a mistake. No way was that a legal turnover.

 

[Bluemoon]

Did he rip it in the tackle? Need to see again as I agree I didn’t see a release.

Italy trying to slow the game down at 65 mins was crazy.

 

[Reiser99]

Italy have been getting slower and slower at the breakdown. Wales looking like they could turnover at any ruck.
