RBS 6 Nations - Wales vs Italy- 10/03/2012, 14:30

[Big Ewis]

And btw, any Italian fans on here ?!...
Oh hey, look, nobody bet for Italy, how strange...no gambler's too crazy I suppose...

 

[GarethEWilliams]

This whole thread is so quiet, is it Welsh quietly confident, Italians keeping out of the way, or just no rivalry.

I for one would love to see Italy to start to assert themselves like they have promised in previous years, just maybe after this game.

 

[dynamicdave]

Quiet? Yes it is.
But just look at what Parisse's done, if that doesn't get the forums buzzing nothing will.

Why... what's he done?

 

[welshglory]

He's said that it's pretty much impossible for them to win

[GarethEWilliams]

Well he is just telling the truth right? I mean just like the England, its a forgone conclusion ;o)

Someone has bet on Italy? Idiots. You should be cool like me and splash all your cash on a red win, and win. . . . 2.5%??? Oh bugger.

 

[Robert Prosser]

Parisse is just stating what many will be thinking if I am honest, and is this thread quiet that may well be because we dont want to be cocky? anyone else remember are the welsh getting cocky waste of a thread.......

 

[Macsen]

80 point win!!!

we dont want to be cocky

Oops. 3-6 to Italy.

 

[no-1-rugby-fan]

Italy are never to be underestimated, but you would expect Wales to win comfortably with home advantage.

as if home advantage alone was the decider for this one

 

[Big Ewis]

Damn, Parisse ACTUALLY admitted:
"We beat Wales in 2007 in Rome, but at this moment I can't say that we really can beat Wales because they are playing fantastic rugby. "Going to Cardiff to the Millennium Stadium against this team is probably something impossible for us."

I mean it's not like Japan VS the All Blacks...I've never heard anyone be that blunt admitting hopelessness in sports !!...

 

[cyRil]

Bit of reverse psychology methinks. As soon as I read the article I thought "Awwww eck, we're in for a game!"

haha...you mean like he's shielding himself before hand so that there's even less pressure on them and they'll fight like mad men...yeah that makes sense.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I don't like Mike Philips, not one bit.

 

[Seaton]

Ah, Clancy as the referee.


Italy have reached a negative chance of winning. Scary.

 

[Groundhog]

But he's so likeable. Looks like the ref is actually gonna pin Wales for sealing

 

[Feicarsinn]

George Clancy whistle happy as ever.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Faletau knocks on in contact....*ahem*

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Faletau still has awful hands, despite welsh protests tothe contrary
bergamasco is an idiot, north put masi down calmly and nicely.

Meh, I thought Jonathan Davies was being massively precious. God forbid a player be fired up for a test match.
