We are so poor, I just don't see how we win this one! That's kinda depressing as I've always gone into a game v Italy with confidence we'd win. Oh well.
I kinda hope Italy give us another good thrashing as there'd be no coming back from that for Gatland! Realistically, he should be gone already, but if the reports of Gatland having a release clause in his contract at the end of the 6N are true, then I assume WRU are waiting till then to save a few quid.
Will be interesting to see how Gatland approaches this game from a selection pov. He went about as conservative as possible v France which completely failed, so does the roll the dice this week?
I'd bring Teddy Williams, Faletau (if fit), Dan Edwards, Eddie James, Joe Roberts and Hathaway into the starting 15. I don't think that will solve all our issues, but we need some improvements from somewhere! Howley's attacking gameplan will always be a massive hindrance though!
