Please advise me. Wales and Italy players have begun this match picking up the ball and throwing it to their teammates. Is this within the rules?" - Confused England fan

Wainwright try, Edwards con
Wales win their line out and then from the second phase it's a huge carry by Dragons number eight Aaron Wainwright, who bursts through tackles to open the scoring.
The Leicester-bound forward has carried hard all tournament and now is rewarded with a try.
Dan Edwards adds the extras.
That's just what Wales needed after that let off thanks to Garbisi's poor kick.
Terrific work by Ellis Mee to turn the action from one to the other.
Italy put the pressure on with a kick in behind but Mee and Rees-Zammit clear, then Mee chases hard to win a penalty after Alessandro Fusco struggles to gather.
Quite a few of you are asking why the Principality Stadium roof is closed today.
Last year the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) announced they would play all their home games 'indoors'.
It followed a change of protocol agreed with the Six Nations who previously required both teams to agree for the roof to be closed.
"We're maximising one of our greatest assets because when the roof is shut, the noise is intimidating," said stadium manager Mark Williams. "It's fantastic for both the fans and players."
Fantastic start what an aura that anthem just the crowd long overdue

Please can you explain why on earth the roof is closed?? I don't think I have 3ver seen the roof open, apart from when they first built it. Rugby is NOT an indoor sport!!! Please help me understand..

This is an outdoor game , open the roof , no rain forecast it's ridiculous that it is closed !

I feel the mood has lifted, it’s now changed from the past few games.
The feeling now is the support and atmosphere is back.
The supporters are encouraging the team and the boys.
We saw the games against France and Scotland, where their supporters out sung us and we need to win the singing battle also on the field.
Turnover ball gets the home crowd excited and Rees-Zammit gets Wales into the Italy half.
It's followed by a rumble by Rhys Carre - who is now a fans' favourite -as Wales start with a good attack but they then turn the ball over just outside Italy's 22.
Why have Wales got the roof closed again? This is an outdoor game, surely should only be allowed when the weather is poor?

Is there any specific reason Wales seem to play all home games with the roof of the Millennium Stadium closed? I could understand it in hurricane season, but it seems to be a lovely day in Cardiff!

I find it very disrespectful having the anthems in the dark. What's with it? !!!! Let's get back to rugby and less of the American razzamatazz !!!!!
