Oh wow the ref is on one. Off his feet, then falls over to boot and playing the ball on the ground. Superb.

Bones

Would be an interesting study of when Italy ever got the rub of the green. At best that time they did the neat *offside" at ruck time? Obviously had thoroughly discussed that prior though.

Bones

No clear release, but Welsh ref sides with Wales. Go figure.

MiketheSnow

Ref is more lenient with us but we’re looking to play rugby

What a half
Systems starting to gel
Huge defensive efforts against Scotland and Ireland
Added some offence today

Italy look stunned

sparky

Wales showing how to play Italy.

MiketheSnow

Italy felt they only had to turn up

Like the war 😉

W32

Ok Wales!

MiketheSnow

Corner turned

Fuck you with the relegation talk

Jailbreak7

First France believe their own press, now Italy are doing the same, and paying dearly for it..

game_film

italy had a belly full last week. Easy one to call

MiketheSnow

Fuck you Italy

W32

Hope they don’t run out of puff

What a load of horseshit

They are playing for their best ever 6N performance

If you can’t get up for that, FUCK OFF

MiketheSnow

Well done Italy

Played to their strength

MiketheSnow

We need to keep our shape

MiketheSnow

Great pressure

MiketheSnow

Adams’ best game in years

MiketheSnow

Huge to keep Italy scoreless when we were a man down

MiketheSnow

@MiketheSnow How do teams generally fare the week after the biggest result in their history? I’ll hang up and listen.

Scotland says hi

Very different when you’re playing the 6N whipping boys

This is a game Italy should have won comfortably

They have been humbled

Bones

Love the Welsh winger asking how the fuck they're supposed to tackle that

game_film

@MiketheSnow Come on mate. They were having statues built next to Michaelangelo’s David last week. Wales were getting progressively better. Easy one to call. Don’t tell me you had Wales losing this and actually believed it

Are you for real?

Wales hasn’t won a game in the 6N for years

Of course Italy were favourites

MiketheSnow

Terrible tactics, terrible execution

We had the rub of the green for the first time in ages

Played with 14 for 10 mins

Lost Francis early who was stuffing the Italian scrum and getting penalties

And we fucking humbled them

I’m sick of Cotter telling us how good Italy are

They had their chance

They fucking blew it

MiketheSnow

Huge, huge defensive efforts from Wales

Bones

Initial grounding short? The drug epidemic is out of control in Wales

sparky

Italy score a third try.

But it's all over. 31-17. Wales have won their first 6 Nations game in 3 years.

MiketheSnow

Cotter has gone down massively in my opinion

They had a script and an agenda

Wales said fuck off

And he still had to keep talking Italy up

MiketheSnow

I hope the Welsh team get absolutely fucking plastered in Cardiff tonight

Just like the old days

It's going to be a very, very messy evening on the banks of the River Taff.

game_film

@MiketheSnow Yes, I’m for real. I had Wales winning and so did the other guys I check in with back home. Easy call. Italy had too much in their belly and their hangover wouldn’t have cleared til Thursday. Wales had this one targeted after improving against the Scotland and Ireland. One team was hungry, playing their cup final. Other team were sleeping on silk sheets. Maybe you walked past them in the Hayes and they looked impressive. I don’t know

MiketheSnow

Thanks Sergio and Martin
The only ones talking sense
Italy disappointing

Nice trolling

Listen back to Sergio

He’s absolutely fucking pissed off

MiketheSnow

Class from the Italian captain

game_film

@MiketheSnow What’s Sergio supposed to say? I’m looking at it from a psychological standpoint. Can’t believe you thought they’d lose

Yeah, who woulda thought the eye-tyes would come out with the best captain's interview you'll hear in a long time - and having to deal with SoniaTheCunt!

Italy will be disappointed they let Wales get away looked more than capable of pulling that game out of the fire
On the other side good to see the improvement in the Welsh
