Yip, far too much!

Ja that’s the Mr Gatland influence still there even though he is not. Thing is think Wales are far more dangerous when they chose to run the ball in attack

Italy get to within 7m… then concede a relieving penalty to Wales.

TMO asked to see a challenge…

Only a penalty against Italy, for a lift tackle… on the Italy 10m line… will be a shot at goal.

Wales penalty again, for offside… should be points again.

grootblousmile on 5 February 2017 at 5:27 pm

TMO rules it was short of the line…

They go back for a Wales penalty, against No 7 of Italy, Maxime Mata M’Banda.

Big Wales scrum and they get the scrum penalty, 5m out…

Italy cops a team warning…

grootblousmile on 5 February 2017 at 5:30 pm

Wales opt to scrum again on the 5m line…
58

grootblousmile on 5 February 2017 at 5:32 pm

Yet another Wales scrum penalty, in on the angle, and the Italian loosehead prop gets a Yellow Card!

Think Wales will want to scrum again…
59

grootblousmile on 5 February 2017 at 5:32 pm

Yip, Wales opt to scrum yet again.
60

grootblousmile on 5 February 2017 at 5:33 pm

Italy scrum stands strong this time…

Try Jonathan Davies, Wales!
