Haha, Cuthbert you donkey.
I imagine Wales will win the scrum, though.

Brilliant take by Cuthbert. Fantastic.

Geth is handling Castrogiovanni nicely.
Send him to Cardiff now (well, in a few weeks).

Why is Botes on the bench? He is a much better player than Gori!

Proper rugby weather, this

Another poor call at the scrum.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gethin playing better than he has since moving to France.
Good weather must not agree with him.

Gethin having a great game so far. Looking a little sharper again this week. He's quite quickly returning to form after a run of games.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

What a crap game, kick after kick after kick.

Wales got Italy good on the scrum the first couple times there, but looool at what followed. They didn't engage in the scrum so that Italy would dive in head first like maniacs and collapse. They did that a couple of times at least, not bad

But overall, a bit better than I expected...snore-fest...no, but pretty boring.
Penalty to Wales at 33:30 first half and they decide for Halfpenny to kick (and miss !)...that was PLENTY of time to run in a 5pointer...shows just how little confidence Wales have in their attack at the moment......what the hell, just what the hell happened to Wales' attack in the past handful of games ?!?!?....

Italy didn't look fantastic themselves on attack, but at least initiated a few runs (before an impending mistake, each and every SINGLE time........). Wales, nothing. They had that good pressure to start the match off at like 6', but then ?? Anybody seen Wales ????...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So close for Italy! Could've sworn Bigger tackled the Italian player early causing him to knock on.

Hmm well taken try but that was handled at the ruck by Biggar prior.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Sloppy try for Wales.

Gethin off with a hamstring injury

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Halfpenny is my favorite Welsh player, player of the tournament so far.

Yeah, but he's a back and wears a scrum cap.....

I've never understood the point....

Paul James taking over Geth's role of shaming Castro.

Back to 13 Welshmen starting for the Lions in the first test?

Scared of playing rugby, its why he kicks so much

You would be so lucky.

Neil Jenkins is such a gentleman, giving Halfpenny his legs.

 

[irelandfan123]

This commentator is great he should do it more
anyone else think this is a really dull game
Halfpenny Motm? And when was the last time he missed a kick
