Italy have improved so much over recent years.

They conceded 8 points to Wales...
that’s just how fast wales move the ball.
Penalty try and a draw is not off the table as Italy will resemble a rugby league team for the remainder of the match.
Italy beat Wales - Roy Keane: ''That's their job''. Italy did what was expected of them and by and large they were comfortable.
Georgia are now ranked above Wales. I was fretting the Wallabies would be ranked below Georgia last year. Thankfully that didn't happen. This year, it's Wales who would have feared it and now they're below the Georgians.
Bar the last ten minutes, it was very comfortable really.
It's not often that the Italian rugby team gets to say that.
So I take it Wales are literally the new Italy now?
90s Ireland perhaps, pre professionalism.
It's probably the first time they've won a game against a tier 1 nation as favourites as well.
I fell asleep. Woke up to find Italy won, so I’m happy.
Every time I hear God Save the King, I hear some awful new aspect of it 
World's worst anthem.

Absolute sludge-fest so far. Proper armwrestle
That could have been Barbarians-esque try
Ramos’ pass was a bit shit
The RFU is fooling no one, they have engaged in some Vodou.
They've greased up the ball. It's the only explanation
We need a replay, none of this made sense.
Similar to last week. Ireland should have been well agreed but had very poor handling in the first half.
England are going to get destroyed here if any passes stick.
That is some try. That's what France can do. All from England losing their own line out.
In Wales last 18 six nations games. 16 defeats and two wins. Wins v Italy in March 2023 and against Scotland in 2022.
Gatland has lost 24 out of 30 games in this stint. It's a desperate record.
Na na na na na 
The RFU is too broke for Voodoo

It takes a chicken, a pack of Marlboro and 1000 Naira.
Will take that but France dropped about 20 points.
You have to think they'll be more accurate second half. The last 20 they should pull away.
When folks were talking last week about who'd be favourites, Ireland or France... If this France turns up in Dublin, they'll lose.
Not at all JP, hence the smiley. We use ZAR here (probably Rothmans or Stuyvesant but who knows!), but I got the jist of my Naira’n brothersAm I lying?
What is going on
That period of play
real fecking scrappy game. france have dragged us down to their level.
If you play with farmers, you will get muddy.
The handling is getting worse.
