These commentators are awful

Yeah. I expect channel 9 to sign them up. 9 have a morgage on awful commentators

Not a bad first 40. Not every game will be the quality of the top nations. But the minnows are giving it a go.

League fans need to get behind it. I have seen shockers in the Union World Cup but people get behind the game and turn it into a carnival. It's all gotta start somewhere....

Even game, Mantellato's boot will get Italy home.

Good to see the Wigan guys doing reasonably well for Wales.

 

[Ari Gold]

Wales are really missing Briers..

 

[afinalsin666]

Badass try. Italy comes out terrible.

 

[100%green]

Fantastic Welsh try to open the second half!!!

 

[afinalsin666]

And Italy strike back just like that. Good game so far.

 

[Harrigan]

Italy robbed! No way that was forward. Fricken awesome pass!!

 

[afinalsin666]

It's the old hand backwards/ball forwards conundrum. Never gets called right, unfortunately.

 

[Harrigan]

Haha WTH was that from Vaughn!!!

 

[100%green]

No idea!!!

 

[afinalsin666]

Taken off the ball!

 

[aqua_duck]

Mark Minichiello has been Wales best

 

[Storm13]

Seamark is just terrible.

 

[JasonE]

Feel a bit for the Wales forwards, their halves are so bad.

 

[vamosrafa]

What a pass from guerra

 

[afinalsin666]

There go wales. The possession was just too much.

By the way, the peerless Ray French, the voice of rugby league, is commentating on BBC Two. This will be his last live match before he retires from BBC TV after 32 years behind the microphone.

Has there ever been a more undeserving try than M. Minichello today?

 

[JasonE]

Credit to the Italian coach, they are well drilled and play good solid percentage footy. england could learn from the way they get to their last and get repeat sets.
Great win for them.
