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

[IT157]

These forward passes are no more forward than Dupont from last week are they dirty harry

 

[dirty harry]

Bruhhhh that pass should never have been thrown that badly

It's come from Thomas dithering, throwing late, Morgan overrun it

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

I can understand Wales looking poor against France, but this is shocking…

I don't want to get into it, but it was 100% forward...

I put it through software lol

 

[Crash Hamster]

3rd scrum penalty to Italy...

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Is Ben Thomas an Italian in disguise? All he's doing is giving them the ball back

Explain me the last two kicks

He's not controlling the game well in the weather and circumstances at all.

But you also have to say the line isn't organised to give him any options going forward what so ever. It's very throw and hope in the backline.

 

[IT157]

Very professional from Italy.

Wonder what Gatland's half time team talk will be like.

To be fair, they've all been technicalities

"That carbonara was great!"

1. He's **** at club level.

2. The line can only play from a 10s ability.

3. He's kicked deep, dropped deep, and killed backline play.

4. The backline is throwing the catch, not to come on to the ball, probably because of the conditions... in this case why would you over play in your own half?!?!

 

[Bluemoon]

Have many coaches managed 6n 2 spoons?

Gats likely the only coach to manage 2 slams and 2 spoons haha.

It won't matter, without a kicking game this is done and dusted.

Poor Tomos William's, he's having to try to Dupont everything, and Adam's has been great at stopping that

 

[AlRums]

biggar as a coach would be the greatest experiment ever.

He'd be good at teaching how to **** off the red.

 

[General Melchett]

I don't think there has ever been an upcoming Lions tour where the chances of a Welsh fly half being selected in the initial squad are actually zero. Might even be less than zero.

How have Wales got 6%?

Ben ******* Thomas isn't a 20

I don't want to get into a *** for tat DH but he's a decent URC player. That's about it, he's not rubbish, but he's struggling at this level given where he's been put by Gatland.

He and the line has to drop deep as the defences are up quick and the backline isn't organised at all. We also have very little power to hit the line flat at the minute. Playing flatter would be disastrous.

The functioning of the line is not solely based on a 10's ability - they work in tandem. Plenty of 10's look off with a misfiring backline.
