Italy v Wales

[An Tarbh]

again no mistake from Marcato.

9-7 Italy approaching the break.

 

[Sir Speedy]

A card? Don't overdo it...
Jiffy said it all. Why give them all these penalties when they haven't threatened once? We should be quite happy to let them force the mistake.... <_<

 

[An Tarbh]

Jones gets there first but great position for Italy though with the scrum.

 

[An Tarbh]

Hook took the ball over the line.

Cloooooseeee one!

well it was blatant and that's what the cards are for.

 

[An Tarbh]

Griffen feeding at the feet of the second row, good man.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Yapp could be in the bin if he drops the scrum again. Penalty try on the cards also....
Nah, good scrum there.

EDIT: If you wanna talk cards, go back to Bortalami slowing the ball down for 5 seconds when we were metres from their line with an overlap on the right...

 

[An Tarbh]

we could be here for a while.

 

[An Tarbh]

poor effort at the drop, although not the best pass from Griffen.

Can't see Italy keeping this up in the second half.

9-7 Italy HT

 

[dundeesmiffy]

I can see Wales winning this, whether it's a case of pulling away or getting away is another argument.

 

[An Tarbh]

I don't think there's any danger of them not winning the match, they'll be more clinical with the chances that come their way like with their first try.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Oh James Hook... FFS.

 

[An Tarbh]

interesting that Lewis went back for the lineout instead of the scrum, think Italy might have preferred the scrum.

 

[An Tarbh]

and there's a huge shock, Castrogiovanni comes on and immediately concedes a penalty, good sub Mallet.

 

[An Tarbh]

good play from Jones to avoid being dragged over the line nicely supported by Phillips.

 

[An Tarbh]

good effort from Marcato to extend the lead, changes now for Wales with Jones and Rees coming on.

 

[Sir Speedy]

*facepalm* Make the changes Gatland.
12 - 7 Italy.

Changes look to be coming on... Yup. Bennett, Thomas and some one else off.

 

[An Tarbh]

Italy doing as the same as most teams have done in this year's tournament, conceding a penalty virtually off the kickoff, can't see Hook missing that.

 

[An Tarbh]

right what can Italy offer in the last 20?
