We're being filleted

Italy in total control. They could be out of sight by half time

Italy totally in charge.

On my Christ. Fucking wake up you dozy bastards

We seem to be scared witless

No composure at all

This is like watching a pub team. Has any actual coaching taken place

We need to hope we can regroup at half time. This is the worst we have played since the first half against scotland

Wales are a 40 minute team, this is our bad half, right.....

Our attack is dreadful. We’ve genuinely gone backwards

There doesn't appear to be any plan in attack. Quite honestly this is worse than the Gippocaust

Absolutely nothing went right with ball in hand during that half. Italy didn’t have to do that much to score either.

Not sure what we do at half time. Change Costelow and perhaps bring on Grady? Why not?

Our starting front row is giving away penalties but our replacements can only be worse so nothing there. We need Rowlands in for go forward though.

We’re definitely at that level here.

That's not to mention our Swiss cheese defence

Jesus this is bad. Let's hope for a resurgent second half.

How haven’t they scored more points I don’t know. We’ve been dire. I just hope we take inspiration from the U-20s last night who scored 27 unanswered points.

I feel like I should make it clear that Italy are playing well, their defence is very good and it’s suffocating us.

I don’t blame north for retiring.

I’m looking at our replacement front row and just can’t see it somehow

I'm not sure I'll be watching the second half. I'm in Valencia atm for the festival and I'm torturing myself watching this drivel.

I'd sack Gats and hire Sam Warburton right now.

And when I say right now, I mean half time.

I’m genuinely wondering if it’s time to move Gatland on. This welsh team looks totally unstructured and after several weeks in the welsh camp they should be better than this.

Warburton? Why? Whats his credentials? Sounds like the same kind of thinking that got Johnno hired for England coach

If Italy get a BP and other results go their way, they could end up in third place.

Nope. He tried coaching IIRC and it didn’t work out for him.

I’d hire Stephen Jones if he’s available and let him have the rest of this REC cycle to find some way to get this welsh team looking competent.
