Wales' 1,099-day wait for a Six Nations win comes to an end

By PA

1 hour ago

Wales rugby/ PA

Wales ended a three-year Guinness Six Nations losing streak with a 31-17 victory over Italy in Cardiff.

ADVERTISEMENT

Two tries from Aaron Wainwright and another from skipper Dewi Lake gave Wales a 21-0 interval lead which was quickly built on.

Dan Edwards darted over and the Ospreys outside-half added a superb long-range drop goal to four conversions for a personal haul of 16 points.

VIDEO

Italy appeared dead and buried at 31-0 down, but they refused to go out with a whimper and Tommaso Di Bartolomeo, Tommaso Allan and Paolo Garbisi scored tries. Garbisi added a conversion.

Wales had not tasted Six Nations victory since March 11, 2023 – 15 games and 1,099 days ago – when they beat Italy in Rome.

But there were clear signs of green shoots in defeats to Scotland and Ireland, and Wales produced the performance nearly 70,000 fans inside Principality Stadium had craved to register a first Six Nations home win since February 2022.

Well done to Wales. Italy panicked in the occasion, turning a 7 point deficit into a 14 and 21. They should have had a plan for a passionate and ferocious Wales period i.e don’t panic, keep them in touch. Garbisi, trying to off load a metre from the Wales line and passing to a Welshman when recycling would surely have earned 7 points was one of several. That’s the six nations, all of us have been there Cardiff!

Great campaign by Italy with two massive wins. Good for Wales to break their duck.

The game perfectly illustrated that playing ball in hand is a must to get results. Wales played with the ball, ran when they could and dominated Italy who were trying a pragmatic approach (akin to England) which resulted in them 21-0 down to Wales at halftime. Italy start playing more with ball in hand in the second half which they won 10-17. Ball in hand rugby is the way to go, ditch the constant kicking (especially when it is aimless)

Crusaders vs Highlanders takes: World's best fullback, still not Crusaders of old

I respect your passion and inability to see things objectively.

Not at all, many people were saying it. I suggest you watch replays of the Rugby Championship matches to see how Jordan did overall. Especially in those 2 losses, they are on YouTube.

The Crusaders were not “fortunate” with the referee. I would say unfortunate.Absolute rubbish your assessment of Will as as fullback. Razor decided to do it the Fozzy way got him nowhere.

Well if Rennie build his game plan around counter-attack, as he did with the Chiefs, Jordan will be his fullback.

NZ don’t always own Ireland. Some NZ fans are still whinging since the 2022 series win clearly. Get over it son. This is a 6N match, stop trying to turn into some weird win from the NZ. Keep working at getting your “Aura” back. Didn’t England trample all over it before Scotland and Ireland hammered them?

Maybe hire a few admin staff and show some improvement before boasting during a 6N match.

Crusaders vs Highlanders takes: World's best fullback, still not Crusaders of old

Will Jordan is excellent with the ball in his hands—we all know that. But at the international level, his game isn’t judged only on what he does with the ball. He has shown significant limitations under the high ball, and even his kicking game isn’t particularly impressive. We’re quite far from Ramos in that regard.

I’m curious to see what Rennie will do with Jordan. Fullback, wing… I wonder whether JRK might offer more solidity in the fundamentals. His kicking game is really better than Jordan’s.

Ireland just getting away with murder post-tackle as usual. Leaning all over rucks and falling into the 9’s ball-access systematically. It’s very weak refereeing to not call it. Just happens over and over again. It’s Farrell coaching them to do it. Did it in the Lions series too. I would be absolutely ropable if I were a Scotland fan. I am anyway watching them up. NZ always own them anyway even though they do it.

Massive. Their ability to slow the ball down “legally” was crucial and their physicality was a level above Scotland.

Strong mentality to keep going for the win.
