[2021 Six Nations] Italy vs Wales (13/03/21)

[Tooting Carmen]

Mostly happy, but if Wales play against France like they did throughout much of the 2nd half, they'll lose.

Decent outcome in all respects really, BP, no injuries (as far as we know) and got out to a 'distance' where we didn't have to show all of our hand.... Goldilocks-zone:

Give the Italians their due, they never give up

In order to give up you had to be trying in the first place.

It looks like Wyn Jones just broke Jonny Hill's 'dick-off' by simply tensing his glutes in your avatar bud...

I missed this game, much point of looking at the highlights?

That's the sort of question that would be asked by somebody that only follows rugby when the internationals are on

Nah it's from someone who's been at work and knows what Italy are like

As with any Italy game: Watch the highlights to see the tries
Really not worth seeing the full 80, especially knowing there's no miracle upset on the cards

There is the bit where a Welsh player holds up his own try, that's worth it for barrels laughs.

I struggle to watch them live, couldn't imagine watching the full 80 knowing the score

To all the passive-aggressiv... ity!?!?

 

[Bluemoon]

I still don't think Jon Davies looks right. Hasn't for ages.

Yeah I'm not sure about his long term future in the centre if I'm honest. The only thing is I don't think J Williams or Watkins is the answer either. Centre is something we need sorted and settled before the World Cup. I like North at 13, I think he's probably extended his international career due to that move!

Yeah North looks great at 13... and Foxy only 'helps' with George's on-field defensive positioning... at least at this point in his outside-centre development.

@ragerancher lol!

All this talk about France being up for it next week after todays loss is a load of nonsense in my book. Wales are now in the driving seat to win the championship at least ,France being France todays loss could play havoc with their mindset. I genuinely do believe that we have the players to beat them next week especially if our forwards get the set pieces right.

Who knows. It goes both ways doesn't it. A wounded France might be more dangerous but they might be more deflated than angry. I was talking about this with my brother yesterday, he wanted France to win as he said he'd prefer an over confident France than a ****** off one. I disagreed with him, I think it's good that we're unbeaten and they'll have to process that loss all week. Obviously who knows whether it will benefit us or not but I don't really think it matters. It's a 50/50 game pretty much (maybe France 60/40) and I don't think that would've differed much had France won or lost today.
