Warburton & Lydiate outclassed so far.
Just checking in to see ow excited my old mate jambas is getting over Quade and how stressed AA is getting. Great fun to watch. Cmon Wales need a quick reply now.
Why can you mash us and fall over in front of the Aussies?
Love that dummy.
Aussies quicker in thought and deed, making Welsh efforts look pedestrian.
that was good whpever that williams was, barnes a bit pro Aus.
north!
5 mins ago I was thinking North was having a quiet match. Just biding his time. Great fun this!!!
North was on for like three tries but never got the pass.
No idea where all these extra Aussies have come from though.
There's no way Barnes has been pro aus, he's made some shocking calls on both sides. Nothing wrong with the aus try though.
[i]There's no way Barnes has been pro aus[/i]
Agree there - he just ruins the flow of a game. This one, even Barnes can't wreck though!
Wow, that is some call!
Oh, there's going to be some irate folk on here now!!
Loving the 'Dove Men Care' logo in the middle. This lot moisturise much, do they?
What a surprise. A Wayne Barnes decision decides a game.
Hang your head Barnes.
Can't believe the **** kicked it.
No I think loads of poor decisions cost Wales that game...
It was a brave effort. Even the most biased supporters couldn't complain about the result, Aus were just the better team on the night.
Great game no prob with barns but kick in the ****in ball at end.
I agree.
Can someone run me through the bad reffing decisions? Didn't hear much commentary and I am no ref..
George North was clean through, ref should have let him touch down then had a look at the video. Instead, he blew just before he touched down, dragged it back to penalise Australia, got the yellow card wrong etc etc etc.
I wouldn't have given either yellow card. He got most everything at the breakdown wrong and ignored all the fights!
Epic
Was a knock on surely so he couldnt have let it go?
Great game, Wales did well. Totally agree Barnes should have let the try happen then gone back to check. Some dodgy decisions at the breakdown but overall Aus deserved it.
North is a centre and still failing to deliver toys is a visionary!
Wish that **** Williams hadnt kicked it to aus with two mins to go.
The card was definitely an offence. No problem with what he did. For me he was also tackled without the ball. He was touching it but he didn't actually have it.
It was marginal. It took a replay FFS, these things happen numerous times every game.
Biggar killing the ball was much worse, but I wouldn't have carded him either. We all wanted to see an equal competition.
Naughty. How do you ban a player with no team?[img]

Good job the ref didn't have a good view of that!!! 😉
Spikey was very spikey all match I thought. I am normally a fan but that was cheap.
How the hell did Barnes not see that?!
Are you talking about the stamp or the Aussie trying to play the ball on the ground? 🙂
If Spikey had spent the energy he put into rucking with Cooper into the game the result might of been different.
Priestland WTF you stupid scarlet moron.
No complaints just pissed that we could of done it but didn't.
@DezB the ref didn't decide the game. Australia where on a charge when Biggs was sent off and those 10 mins either side of half time established a decent gap and set momentum. Home crowd is always going to cry forward pass but Wales had already given away a penalty and Australia had an advantage, whether it's in the rule book those things make a difference in tight calls. The score line flattered Wales, it could have been more.
I honestly thought Wales would beat what is quite a poor Australian side but perhaps some of you are right, Wales cannot beat them. Massive physiological advantage now for Australia now heading into World Cup knowing they play Wales at a neutral venue.
If Spikey had spent the energy he put into rucking with Cooper into the game the result might of been different.
you can question a lot of things about Spikey but the energy he puts in is not one of them the defensive work he does is nothing short of amazing. Yes he got bounced by Folou for the try but you cannot question the guys effort.
Great effort by Quade and Lialifano, not sure they would unpick Roberts and Davies so easily though.
anyway seeing as no one noticed Quades reaction

Can't blame him for that!
I would have done the same. No excuse for that, it's a professional game.
I was surprised spikey stayed on the field to be honest, can see why he's currently out of contract.
Wonder what Spikey tastes of? AA yep he is like having an extra flanker but he should all his energy into his game not looking for aggro. Fair play both teams seemed to relish the physicality of the game.
I was surprised spikey stayed on the field to be honest,
Well I'm sure the multi test Lions player could be easily replaced. He may be a complete **** but he's easily the best British 9 of the last 8 years or so and certainly much much better than Rhodri Williams.
I would have done the same. No excuse for that, it's a professional game.
standing on someones hand, hardly the crime of a century is it, deserves a ban but come on its not THAT bad.
Can't blame him for that!
I know, I don't, I just thinks its quite funny.
Phillips wants to get Horwels brief!
he should all his energy into his game not looking for aggro
that IS his game!!
I saw two great games yesterday, Bath V Exeter and Wales V Australia. Both highly physical, high speed games with some fantastic tries - the score for Exeter's 2nd row was a beauty!
It's games like those that make me glad to have rugby on the TV, pity BTsport didn't show the Saracens/Sale game though.
a-a, was referring to the fact he was lucky not to have been carded for fighting etc, not that Gatland should have taken him off!
or Cians, he only got two matches off
