[2025 Six Nations] Italy vs Wales - 08/02/25

[General Melchett]

Italy have started like Scotland did against them last week. Nothing flashy. Just executing a decent gameplan competently with smart kicking, good accuracy and building up a decent score.

Given territory for no reason whatsoever...

The player decisions are poor, because they don't know what to do.

Not exactly a shock to say/see but Wales playing like a team with zero confidence

50/22...

Exactly

Italy has to play like this against Scotland (and they did not) or England

Is it confidence? Or lack of effective gameplan?

Without a kicking game, Wales have 0 chance of getting a platform, and Ben Thomas cannot kick a ball

 

[AlRums]

6N site has 84% probability of Italian win

I just can't see what Wales are trying to do in attack. There's zero confidence, chemistry, shape, lines, pattern however you want to describe it. I've said it every game for 10 games and it's just not changing and it's not for lack of ball.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Wales is bad. That's a 10er I'll never see again

Rob the scumbag Howley...

 

[AlRums]

Bloody hell that was long advantage for a knock on

 

[dirty harry]

Ben ******* Thomas!!!!!!!!!

 

[dirty harry]

As Thomas kicks worse, he drops deeper to get more time, which compounds the problem

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Trick play down the touchline when you've been dominated in the physical battle all game

200 IQ

 

[General Melchett]

Surely he saw there was too much traffic to go for the corner. Poor decision making by the hooker

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Joking aside, does anyone really think that if we had AWJ, Bomb and anyone of Warburton, Biggar, insert random ex wales player here, they would do worse than Gatland? I honestly don't think we would and that would be with them being thrown in straight away.

biggar as a coach would be the greatest experiment ever.

 

[dirty harry]

When nothing is going your way...

A trick play is not the decision!

Wales catch and drive is decent, why have we not tried it once?!?!?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bruhhhh that pass should never have been thrown that badly

 

[dirty harry]

Bruhhhh that pass should never have been thrown that badly

Which one? Any of 20 would fall into this category!

"Front peel goes awry" shocker...
