[big ginger 8]

Wales really setting put their tactics early.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

To be fair you then Wales look up for this - see if they can keep the intensity up

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Last Welsh lineout, the 2 was stood directly in front of his own line.

 

[Rinkadink]

Disappointing opening 5 from Italy. Wonder if they're a bit over-emotional?

Wales have just done the basics and gained 3 points from it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Beard celebrating that poor pass like he's won the world cup

 

[TommiG88]

Italy haven't started well, but they will come back.

 

[Rinkadink]

Awful 9 play there, picks up to offer the run threat at the expense of tempo but doesn't run and limply passes on so worst of all worlds. Add box kicks and and we're in Youngs playing under Jones territory.

Italy going to struggle if he keeps doing that.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Was about to say how dumb that kick was

 

[TommiG88]

Lucky

I take my 2nd comment back as it was Bruno

Jammy fuckers.

Although Italy have been garbage.

 

[Reiser99]

Italy not great, but that second bounce was ridiculous.

 

[Bluemoon]

Impressed with the intensity that Wales are brining tot he game. Lucky bounce for the try but Wales are on the front foot for the first time in what feels like the entire tournament.

This

Reckon Wales will put up a big score here

 

[TommiG88]

Italy have reverted to terrible

Thing is Wales aren't really bringing a lot just yet. Essentially basics without error, Italy have just been poor. Point a minute is an insanely good ROI for that.

Typical Welsh tactics. Bring opponents down to their level to beat them.

 

[Bluemoon]

Thing is Wales aren't really bringing a lot just yet and just really basic without error, Italy have really been that bad. Point a minute is an insanely good ROI for that.

We haven't been doing the basics all tournament. Good to see them with a little bit of structure, even if it isn't rocket science.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Italy's new gameplan:

1. Drop ball
2. Win scrum penalty
3. Kick down field
4. Drop ball
5. Win scrum penalty
6. Kick goal

Repeat

 

[TRF_Olyy]

A third of the team failed to tackle him then, mad

 

[TommiG88]

This is farcical from Italy haha
