Wales vs Italy . . .

Watching Menoncello my mind still boggles at people getting excited about DDA. If you can't spot the gulf in difference in skills, pace and impact of Menoncello, there's no hope.

Can't argue.

Italy have woken up. Wales are very stretched.

Ioane is in . . . just checking the grounding.

Ioane maybe in but it looked dodgy in real time.

He's dropped it. No try.

Looks like he touched the line with his body just before the grounding. Needed a low dive.

Great tackle by Ellis Mee.

Nah the grounding is fine Rooi, I think touch is going to get him.

Yes, he didn't drop it like I thought but he does look out.

Come on France!

Unlucky Ioane. So close.

Not sure the kick was needed there from Italy, could have kept it going with the phases.

MotM? I'd go Dan Edwards.

Tomos Williams and Ellis Mee contenders along with Brex and Menoncello.

Brilliant pass from Garbisi and Lynagh scores. 31-19.

Wait, that's short . . . no try surely?

Another try Italy. They woke up late. Glad they're getting some tries though. Ehh, might have been short.

No try. It remains 31-12.

Two tries about as close as you can get chalked off for Italy.

Well done Boyos!

Allez les Bleus!

Wainwright gets MotM. I forgot about him. Good call.

Garbisi gets a consolation try after the hooter. Hope that doesn't make the difference!

This time Italy gets it. Well done Wales, may they go from strength to strength from here. Likewise Italy.

Well done Wales...they will only get better. Their self belief is growing. Louis Rees-Zammit stood strong under a lot of high balls from Italy. In my opinion he is wasted at fullback, although he looks good there.

bravo Taffies ...

Well done Wales :)
