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

[Half Pint]

I can see a lot of 'head coach' role swaps later this year.
Gatland - already one foot out the door
Townsend - looks on shaky ground, not getting results
Borthwick - possibly saved his skin by one point, but still not safe if we see Bannockburn come to Twickenham
Easterby - being replaced by a returning Farrell, but might want to take the reins somewhere else rather than be a #2?
Galthie - IMHO is underperforming with the talent at his disposal, wouldn't be surprised if the FFR give him the boot

So if there's some theoretical swaps, which ones?

Townsend to England, Borthwick to Scotland?

Easterby to France, Galthie to Ireland?

Gatland to pasture?...

How Gatland is continuing to play ben Thomas at 10 is beyond me.

Italy were the far superior side.

Bring back halfpenny, Roberts, North and Adam Jones, that'll sort it.

With or without their Zimmer frames?

With. They'd still win. Against our current team that is!

Adam Jones 10 pints in and a kebab down could still do a job on the current front row I recon. Might give up a little mobility as he's not the livewire running around he used to be.

I was saying to my brother he could handle just coming on for scrums I reckon. Just need a fake blood replacement to happen every time there's a scrum but Bomb could do it.

I believe harlequins may be able to help you on that one.

This is the only Six Nations game I called correctly this weekend. Kudos Italia.
