If this game that kicks off in 15 minutes can attract/persuade half of the Crusaders support to come and watch International Rugby League at the Racecourse tonight then I think that will be seen as good news.

I know tickets have been priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children.

Not to mention this is the game that sees Gareth Thomas makes his first ever appearance in a Wales Rugby League shirt.

So expect some serious column space in the nationals tomorrow.

Wales: Gay, Bateman, Reece, Thomas, Williams, Jones, Watson, Dudson, Parry, Flower, Mills, Ross, Davies

Italy: Nasso, Mantellto, Quitadamo, Bruneta, Caligari, Stewart, Lenarduzzi, Kaleopa, Nasso, Tramonte, Vicelich, Trimarchi, Falcone

Referee: Thierry Alibert (France)

Wales 6-0 Italy after 10:00 minutes.

What a way to start your Rugby League International debut Mr Thomas.

[Tommy The C5t]

Wales 6-0 Italy after 25:00 minutes.

This Italian performance could hold well for the future when added to last years 42-12 victory over Serbia in the European Cup fifth-sixth play-off match.

Well this is a turn up for the books I must say but overall it's a great score for International Rugby League.

Far better from the Italians than I was expecting.

Amazing and could this be the Rugby League shock of the year?

Well if they ran Lebanon close (didn't they?) they have to be a decent side, plenty of Aussies in there too, but as long as they have Italian names, I'm happy with that.

Come on Wales. Dramatic victory needed.
