2026 Six Nations - Wales vs Italy - 14th March

[Leonormous Boozer]

Again Wales were just all intensity against us. They were targeting this, so hard to win back to back games.

Italy are not there though.

Italy partied too hard and Wales have found their backbone

At what point do England worry about wooden spoon?

 

[OwenPB]

Wales have been the better team - but, my god, the referee is doing his best to hand it to them on a platter. Not one 50/50 has gone Italy’s way.

Italy look like they disagree with every decision too. Might be feeling a bit like the ref is against them, which I don't think is the case. They've just made some bad choices. This team would be a victory or 2 better off if they were more level headed in their game management, especially inside the opposition 22.

But that's not taking anything away from Wales, who have been much the better team here. Positive signs this campaign for both teams.

Flexibility of Dewi Lake to get as low as he does carrying into contact is crazy - he's at full run and basically has his forehead grazing the grass

75pts difference so if Wales win by 40 then it feels on

We all live in hope.

their must have been a deal for former wales players on dodgy hair transplants

 

[Saintjay]

England level of attack by Wales there.

 

[higgik]

It is a good job we played Wales first up, just after the regional team issue.
Otherwise we would be looking at a whitewash of losses.

Disrespectful DG

Jamie Roberts' is terrible, it looks blurry it's so thin/sparse
Doesn't help he has the largest head known to man, needs three of four extra people to donate follicles

75pts difference so if Wales win by 40 then it feels on

At this rate they might put on 60

God playing france with the wooden spoon on the line would be nervous

 

[mdaclarke]

Italy remind me of how Argentina play the week after they've beaten the All Blacks.

Playing like they've spent the week partying.

I thought it started at 100. 4 and -96.

 

[OwenPB]

God, I'm torn: a very slim chance Ireland win the 6N but I have to cheer for England, or France putting up enough to give England the wooden spoon ?

 

[Brown Bottle]

Are the Welsh wheels coming off?

 

[wombles]

This may sound controversial but as much of an improvement as Wales have made throughout the tournament, what has really benefited them is they have faced Scotland, Ireland & now Italy who have all gone to the well against England the round before & all 3 were well off their best against them. Italy today are the worst, they have looked out on their feet from the first minute.
It is great to see Wales finally get a W, but I have not seen anything that makes me think Wales will get into the top 6 at any time in the future. But has confirmed to me that -IMHO- they will be fiercely competitive against those from 7th-12th in the world, which given where Wales are is a big positive!

 

[Booboobang]

I kinda understand why the game is going this way. Italy have been putting up good displays all tournament emptying the tank every week and with nothing to play for this week are running on fumes. Wales started rough and have been progressively getting better every week and this is their 'cup final'.

I thought at the start of the weekend was 100. Wales on -96 and England on +4. France could win by 50, so imagine Wales would need to get the other half.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Good catch, I was going off of the table on Google when you search Six Nations, didn't realise it included live scores

 

[Reiser99]

Wales that a legal tackle?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

You'll rarely see a try as butchered as that one by Allen

Two on one, easy easy try and he takes contact and gets monstered on the goal line

He's tanking his lucky stars he got to the other wing to finish off the follow up

 

[big ginger 8]

Menoncello is good at rugby.

 

[ncurd]

God I hate Jiffy and Nigel. They're correct but the sheer one sided glee.

 

[Booboobang]

Well one huge takeaway from the tournament is wales scrum is no longer laughable, their forwards when morgan is back look good.

 

[ncurd]

If only Italy turned up for the first 40mins

 

[Reiser99]

Congrats on the win Wales. Throughly deserved. Unfortunately, I feel you needed a few more points on the board to avoid the wooden spoon.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

TANDY OUT.

 

[wombles]

Wooden spoon for Wales feels about right. Wales should have hope that they can push the likes of Argentina, Scotland & Italy in the future which, given where they were at the start of the tournament, is a big positive. But I will say again though, they don’t have the numbers or amount of top end performers to be top 6 going forward and this tournament + where the state of the game is in Wales only solidifies this.
Fully deserved the win today.

Not only that, he got stopped by Tomos Williams hahahah

Time for Tomasso to become Tommy again
