We need points out of this

 

[TommiG88]

This is an awful decision! Properly milked by Wales

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Wales infringing all over the place bringing down the maul. FFS Italy, there was no need to go for that but getting tired of the Welsh milking everything.

 

[AlRums]

Dreadful refereeing

 

[ncurd]

Italy have been **** but it definitely feels like they are playing against 16 men.

I was wondering how they got that maul down legally

 

[ntun82]

It seems to be watching a football game with J**entus on

 

[McTallshort]

Allen has had so much space at fullback. Shame the quick lads injured

 

[Gavin]

Relegate Wales, they bribed the referee

 

[Bluemoon]

Liam Williams with some really big moments in the game, the try, the defensive turnover on the line, he's such a big game player.

I *hate* to admit it, but Webb seems to be organising the players and the forward attack really well, but the difference today is the forwards are on the front foot. Seems to be a bit more of a pattern with the forwards attack and a bit more patience. Nowhere near world beaters, but I'll take this so far given where we were before the game.

This is pathetic from Italy. In the one game you actually fancied them to win, to not show up is poor - there's no excuse. Wales have been OK but nothing special and yet they're winning by 19 points against supposedly the best Italian team for years.

 

[Scotty]

Italy have been guilty of backing up good play with stupid mistakes/compounding errors ruining chances. Fustrating to see but some good attack at times.

I agree, but It Is undeniable there have been refereeing horrors

 

[AlRums]

Could have been a decent game spoiled so far by very poor refereeing

This … it's the compounding errors. Dropping the ball on the line and then immediately giving away a needless penalty that essentially gave Italy the field position for the penalty try was a criminal passage of play.

And yes … it would be generous to say the ref has made some odd decisions.

The ref hasn't helped but he also isn't forcing Italy to fall off tackles and botch easy try scoring opportunities. Italy's losing is their own doing.

 

[ntun82]

Dai cazzo!

 

[Wasps92]

Much better!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was really nice

 

[ntun82]

Forza!
