Not loving the ref. Well done TMO
Yep.
So a much better first half but two of those tries came from Italian mistakes or pathetic tackling. With ball in hand they look far more dangerous. Our centre partnership is a bit papier-mâché in defence.
But the pack is fronting up and Webbs game management is much improved. Kicking from hand also much better and we’ve been able to compete for the ball.
Better but still a long way to go
Webb making a huge difference so far, a wise head. So much for getting rid of the old guard.

If Italy had a little more composure they could easily have been ahead at half time.
Fair play, Wales have taken their chances but Gatland will need to rip into them at HT to ensure there’s no let up and they stay disciplined for 80 minutes.

It feels odd to say that they still look better than us, even when we've scored 3 tries to 0.
They will click at some point but if we can get another 6-7 points - preferably before that happens - we should be able to hold on. And it would be holding on, but who would care right now?

And that was idiotic and dangerous. Forearm smash is some of the list powerful blows you can land and he’s lucky that’s only yellow

Seemed to be looking for a reason not to give a red despite clear injury to pkayer

Like watching a highlight reel from a decade ago in slow
