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 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

@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.

@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

Bones

Why does LRZ sound like he's trying to steal your car

They’ll be disappointed yes, but they didn’t let Wales get away

They had no say

Wales was in charge and was accurate

Arguably Italy could have had a card in the first half

Of course Italy came back

But don’t forget Wales was a bounce of the ball away from LRZ going over to make it 38-10

MiketheSnow

Oh fuck off BBC

Nobody wants to hear Reddin and Gabby blather on about the politics of Welsh rugby

We won for the first time in 3 years FFS

Interview the players
Interview the groundskeeper
Interview the fans

How to bring the fucking mood down

#BunchOfCunts

Bones

Yes Sonia, you're the best.

MiketheSnow

I’ve totally changed my opinion of Tandy

I was way off

And not just because we won

This is like Henry and Hansen’s start

Good shit Wales. Baby steps but they’re in the right direction.

Well as admitted supporter from afar of Wales, I was stoked to no end with result.
Bloody good stuff, and although there plenty of empty seats at stadium, the Welsh fans that stuck with them and went truly looked like they got rewarded!!

Don’t forget a sub-capacity Principality Stadium is still ‘fuller’ than most stadiums around the world
