[QUOTE="Cymro, post: 178894"] Ha Wales only made two mistakes really in that first half and they did not play poor as you are suggesting! The Italians played the rugby and Wales held them off! That is the simple fact! When the Italians got tired we played a wider game of rugby and we did the biz! [/b][/quote] Calm down my comments were praising the welsh performance. [/b][/quote] And i think you were correct as well. Cymro, to say Wales only made two mistakes in the first half means you watched about 10 minutes in totally of that first half. We left the game with 24 errors (i believe) and we played much better in the 2nd half than the first, so i refuse to believe that after a first half of 2 errors we went through the second half making 22 other mistakes. We were not very good in the first half, the word "clinical" was not even in our vocuabluary, let alone in our style of play. [/b][/quote] Urm ...... I was sitting in the stadium!!! Now Wales made two / three mistakes in the first half for me and they were the clear ones! One of them being the penalties they allowed Italy to have to give them 3 easy points! The second one was the miss tackle that allowed the Italians almost to score before they dropped the ball and thirdly the poor lineout throwing that lead to an Italian try! Now for me that are three mistakes! They were poor mistakes also! But people don't seem to realise that Italy were playing the rugby in the first half and yes they did dominate however if Wales would have been playing under Gareth Jenkins then we would be snowed under with points on the board, id have said we would have been at least 10-20 points behind!
