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

[AlRums]

To me the biggest difference was the Italy really wanted to win and Wales expected to win

 

[Reiser99]

Fair play Adams.

AWJs 150th cap and Dan Biggars 100th cap - a loss to Italy at home

It's the small things in life

Last time Italy beat Wales was 2007
AWJ played in that one too

Jiffy may have to change the MOTM haha

I think Josh Adam's just gave it to the lad, class move if so.

Schadenfreude is a wonderful drug.

Italy fullback could honestly be player of the tournament, he's been massive the last two weeks

Born and bred in France by the way !

Hopefully this will give Italy some belief for the future that they can be more than just whipping boys.

Fair do's

 

[Jakedood]

I love rugby

Especially with the u20's getting 2 wins and beating England.

Looking on the bright side Scotland must be really chuffed to have company from a fellow GB nation in the "Beaten by Italy" club.

Better team won. I thought Wales were in trouble when they parachuted AWJ back into the team without playing a minute of rugby since the AI's. We all know there is a paucity of talent coming through the regional game, and that the regional game is in trouble. I wondered whether we would start to see that beginning to ripple into the test level and this may be the start.

Italy 15….take a bow son!

But they dropped their best player of the 6N to make way for him

Italy have beaten Wales before you know, twice, 2003 & 2007

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Lol.

Stunning late Padovani try seals historic Italy win in Wales

Italy beat Wales as a stunning late converted try by Edoardo Padovani completes a 22-21 win in Cardiff - the Azzurri's first Six Nations victory since 2015.

Both of then in the same tournament 2007.

But no Scots are still playing from then....

Unlike Wales...

Read a stat that AWJ lost his 1st, 50th, 100th and now 150th cap.

Don't know if that's true but I'm choosing to belive it.

Ahh the moments to remeber in your career

As a Welshman I'm very happy for the Italians.

My girlfriend is Italian and I know a couple of Italians as a result who like rugby. What a day for those people, and also great to see for the competition of Italian rugby.

As a Welshman, you need to point fingers at the tacticians - that gameplan was consistently arrogant and incredibly poor. Deserved to lose.

Inquest needs to start at a number of things including Biggar's captaincy amongst loads of others things. Embarrassing and remnants of Fiji world cup loss.

Can Pivac survive? I don't think him and his coaching team deserve to from this. Will he? We will see. Anger shared with happiness. Not one to feel anger from sport but this really is incredible!

I think it was mentioned in the buildup. Martin Johnson was asked if he thought it would be on AWJ's mind.
