@ Just For Kicks:
Geez, don’t talk about the age man! I’m horribly reminded every time I see what used to be a youngster the other day, all grown up. Time passes so fast man, eish!
Intercept by Italy, Campagnaro… try under the sticks
Next match is Going to be very interesting. We will get a better idea of where the Welsh are.. I think they have a lot of work to do.
As I say that, Italy are right back in it
@ Just For Kicks:
just a decent 9 and 10 – not necessarily even brilliant, just constant and not making silly mistakes.
Wales 20 / 15 Italy
Brava italia! And Italy gets a sniff of a win!
62 @ The_Young_Turk:hahaha, my knees have all but given up now!!!!
Daaashy, lekker score vir Italie. Ek sal nie jammer wees as Wallis op hulle moer kry nie, al was Italie se eerste drie nie ‘n drie nie.
Bulls 12 / 12 Stormers
Wales have woken up
Wales penalty, after a long advantage was played
Interestingly Wales seem to have gone off the boil and Italy seem to be finishing the stronger. I expected that italy would run out of steam towards the end and wales would finish the stronger!
Wales 23 / 15 Italy
Come on Italy! Forza Italia!
If Italy could get 1 converted try……..
Italy throwing everything at Wales and Wales defending desperately.
Less than 4 minutes to go in the match
2 Minutes to go
Time has run out for Italy but wales will know they have been in a match.
Nice to see the Welsh giving Campagnaro MOM
Last minute, Italy scum near halfway
I picked Wales by 13 on bru, so the score must just stay as it is!
Victor Matfield came on in the 49th minute for the Bulls…
Time is up… Wales WILL win, but hey, Italy was game!
Italy scrum penalty, Parisse takes it quickly
Italy should give Ireland and Scotland a good run for their money if they play like this in the next few matches. Well done Italy, but good on Wales – well in the hunt for that 3rd title
Final Score: Wales 23 / 15 Italy
84 @ grootblousmile:latest score?
Good match, well done Wales. Don’t think Wales were bad, just Italy played much better than expected.
