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

@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

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

Yep, and it wasn't like they were playing England etc where visiting supporters could just go down on train.

Congrats @mikethesnow @pooler-fan and the rest of the welsh fans

Real progress shown across the competition. Excellent to see.

Italy did not play with the necessary gnous that they showed when playing at home. It took them one hour to start to play like a team. Wales, on the contrary, played as if their lives were in danger. Great guts.

MajorStokes

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.
