[2020 Autumn Nations Cup] Wales vs Italy (05/12/20)

[Ragey Erasmus]

Pretty good kick from the back of that scrum under pressure. Italian scrum looking like it can't compete though.

Italians getting caught out by exactly the same thing again, they aren't defending the pop passes at all.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Faletau already named as 8 for lions this game.

I thought this was a Lions match??

I thought this was a Lions match??

I bloody hope not, otherwise we look awful.

Edit: The commentators are a joke.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Waiting for the Welsh going "Oh so now you say taking in the air is a penalty!!!!!1111!1eleven"

AWJ having a claw around the eye area of the Italian players in that scuffle there

He was just gracing the Italians eye with his presence obviously.

[TommiG88]

Italy's game management is so bad.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

It's just the traditional post 60 minute implosion.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

It's that time when I dare to dream italy could get a result every game but they inevitably disappoint me...

Lasted about 40 minutes this time...

 

[Reiser99]

Ball was between his legs counts as a grounding? Not sure how the ball got down between his legs without him losing control, but hey ho.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's why you don't try and hand off a backrower in the face

 

[TommiG88]

Hahahah loved that!

 

[TommiG88]

Get the lube out guys, wales are back to no.1 in the world.

 

[ForumWhore]

2020, Wales beat Italy and Georgia.

Gatland, the Lions will be predominantly Welsh.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I wanna see Curry/Underhill/Faletau for the Lions

 

[TommiG88]

I don't understand, if England had a year like Wales, the commentary would be calling us embarrassing etc.
Wales on the other hand, it's about taking things forward. The team isn't too different from last year when they got to the WC semis. There is a couple of youngsters but the core is the same.

If that isn't the back row, then I'll be surprised.

It will not doubt be Warburton, Lydiate and Faletau

 

[Goodey]

It's just the traditional post 60 minute implosion.

They're playing the classics.

 

[Jimbo]

Two wins against bottom rank opponents and the commentators are waxing lyrical about the Welsh Back row what a load of b******

 

[Rinkadink]

Don't see how you can give POTM to any of the Wales backrow given how poor they were at the breakdown for much of the game... 8 penalties in that area at half time, was it?
