@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
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 said in Wales Vs Italy 6N 2026:
Huge, huge defensive efforts from Wales
Wales let a try in, the ref pardoned them.

Ha ha
Italy score a third try.
But it's all over. 31-17. Wales have won their first 6 Nations game in 3 years.
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
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

Nice trolling
Listen back to Sergio
He’s absolutely fucking pissed off
@MiketheSnow What’s Sergio supposed to say? I’m looking at it from a psychological standpoint. Can’t believe you thought they’d lose
@MiketheSnow said in Wales Vs Italy 6N 2026:
Class from the Italian captain
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!
@Steven-Harris said in Wales Vs Italy 6N 2026:
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
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
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
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
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!!

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

On behalf of the Welsh team, thank you
Wales have shown the depths a good team can get to if they don’t get their overall house in order. NZRFU please take note!
After a cpl bad experiences with Taff fans, I developed a genuine dislike of their team.
However, it seems time does indeed heal old wounds as I took great pleasure in seeing their growth this 6N.

It's funny as this would have been my experience too, except when I really put any thought to it. My experiences with seemingly most Welsh fans on the interweb has been pretty awful - gloating when they win, rabidly anti-English and whingers when they lose. However thinking on my experiences at both Twickenham and Cardiff the majority of the Welsh fans I've seen have been pretty level headed and fair. Passionate for sure and just so bloody happy when they win (esp v England) but always good to talk with.
The UK sporting media AKA The Taffia though is a different matter.
Anyway, on to the game. Well done Wales and congrats to @mikethesnow and @pooler-fan and all other Taffs on here. Good to see an improvement in belief and attitude etc. I'll admit that I wanted Italy to win to give them their first set of 3 wins in the tournament but they failed to/weren't allowed to, turn up until 60 minutes had gone.
