Another shocking loss and performance from the Welsh against the Italians in Rome. Welsh rugby is in the darkest period it’s ever been in, no doubt about it.

The former Irish full-back Rob Kearney says you blood the young players in the Welsh game now rather than the Italian game .. Imagine that, going to Cardiff and blooding players ..

Yeah it (Rome) is the (tougher assignment). When we were players if there was ever a chance of being rested or left out for a game, it was the Italian game, now it’s Cardiff.

Cardiff in Round 3.
Rome in Round 5.

Which is tougher test for Ireland this year?#GuinnessM6N pic.twitter.com/pFWVFNDZVC

I hope that doesn’t come back to bite Ireland if they choose to rest players against the Welsh. We still have to beat Scotland first today.
