[Closed] Rugby - 6 nations.

Chariots back in the shed then.....

Too close though, Wales need to get some invention for France.

Well played england. I think you have every right to feel hard done by there at the end. And apologies for this but I lacked the confidence to post this before the game

edit and it didn't work anyway!

a great advert for the game

were doing so well Flash, I was almost convinced, then you end on the worst cliche ever.
if you'd have said "rugby is the real winner" I would have found you and given you a slap...

there was no definitive shot of the ball grounded

I saw one.

Let's see if England can lose with grace, shall we?

I don't think a Welshman can make such a statement, particularly after a very very lucky win.

Lucky? Why? We scored more points than England. Hence we won.

If England had scored more, they would have won. It wasnt a try, get over it.

And, even if it had been, was the conversion a given? No. Even then, that would only have been a draw.

England were very good indeed today, very impressive. They were second best, though.n

It was a try though.

england need to learn to play possesion rugby once they get in front.

wales managed to do it with a man down, so why cant englan with 15 men.
you go in front, tighten up, get the forwards working.
england were 6 up and blew it.

go away with your common sense opinions ton 😀

Brakes, look at the score. The final score. It wasn't a try. Deal with it.

Truth is, we lost it by giving away the pen during the sin bin. The Welsh ability to hold on and even take points during that period was probably the difference between the two sides.

can we not appeal?

I have seen all the video replays you guys have,still cant see the one where the ball is down,can someone put it up on here? i must be missing it.

Nope. If the Try was awarded the rules state that the conversion can be taken as the last play of the game. Naturally, we would have drawn if the TMO had some guts/doesnt have welsh ancestry or whatever his excuse is.

P.S. Can someone teach Steve Walsh & 1/2p what a knock-on is please?

Hmmm, Flashy seems to have had his log in hacked by some wendyballing lout - complete lack of grace in the win old chap 🙄

It was a try though.

erm... i think you may be wrong there! 😆

Good points Martin & Ton.

Also, ton, good to see you making comment on rugby. REAL rugby. 🙂

For me the main difference was the 10s.

England took the time and space away from Wales and turned over the ball a lot. I like a ref who allows a fair contest for the ball but penalises holding on, off the feet and sealing off

Kryton, it could have been taken, of course. But was it a guaranteed two points? No.

Tom B... **** me thats funny!!
Wales toughed it out and were superior to england in most phases... People still think corbisero and cole are scrumaging gods?
Fair play Farrel was impressive. Wales missed the passing of Hook. Ben Morgan did his usual started well and faded (the fat Turk ****).
Still feel Barrit whilst an able stopper is a problem in attack. If england could get go forward and then use Tuilagi they'd be onto something.

I'm not even going to comment on the try. The official made the correct decision if he couldn't prove otherwise.
Wales were lucky on several counts; the main one being that they were the second best team on the pitch and won via a breakaway try. [i]That [/i]is luck.
Regardless, CFH is ultimately correct in that the only thing that matters is the final score.

I don't think a Welshman can make such a statement, particularly after a very very lucky win.

It was a bloody well taken break away try, though, wasn't it? 🙂

Seriously now wrecker wales out scrumaged them, out mauled them, coped in the lineouts, did ok at the breakdown and made more linebreaks, managed the yellow card and made more try scoring chances to win away from home. Open your other eye

Bump.

Tom B... **** me thats funny!!

Yay-someone finally noticed me on stw. I feel all warm and fuzzy 🙂

flash, and i will even admit that ashton was crap today also.
wales deserved the win for their effort when a man down, and i think it was a try.

have they not heared of 'benefit of doubt' in the rfu? 😉

Bump!

glitchitty****

Well, gracefully I accept we lost. I would the welsh amongst to admit England played well though, without people like anagallis leaving in dreamland. Welsh superior in most phase my ar...

he main one being that they were the second best team on the pitch and won via a breakaway try. That is luck.

and there's the English graciousness that makes us all love you 😀

Ton i agree with benefit of the doubt should be assumed. Just not today thank you

A_a, you're just wrong on all counts. Wales would have been flattered by a draw.
There's no rubbish coming from my direction sonshine.

A_A Wales were playing in red

Now now chaps!

Its only a game!

So england dominated the scrums did they and the mauls from lineouts.... If they had a scrum theyd have .ot taken lineouts at the end..... Blesss

Well done Wales, if nothing else for the smartness of the sin-bin close out and the well taken try. But chapeau to the boys in white. First 5-10 mins looked like Wales were going to steam-roller England. Then England bounced back well.

A-A, well done, but where you watching the same match at times? For large parts Wales played a very sterile bash down the middle approach which England's young guns coped perfectly with. Even Eddie Butler saw that. England were for a change fun to watch on the occassions they ran the ball. Gr* Warbuton tackle on Manu probably won the Triple Crown for you!

But credit to Wales - looked like losing two matches but sprung them both. The mark of a good side, but no need for hyperbole as they could easily have lost both. This is why its such a good 6N - no dominant side as yet.

No need to dispute the try - couldn't have given that on the shots they had.

Bloody English subs - Matt the t888 Stevens in particular, and Youngs? Arsene Wenger moment????

A-A, you can have the scrums, fair enough, not sure about the rest.... 😉

Teamhurtmore, I'd agree with all of that, summed up a lot of my opinions.

Women's game on the red button, BTW.

Wales did play some dull stuff and missed Hooks creativity but all england did was force an arm wrestle. They created very little themselves. Priestland was shite though!!!

CFH - what football?

"The main one being that they were the second best team on the pitch and won via a breakaway try. That is luck."

Is that the same kind of luck that has given England two wins from charged down kicks?

A-A - are you a fan of Hook then? 😉

Is that the same kind of luck that has given England two wins from charged down kicks?

Hook is a decent player and has been crucial in the first two game with his passing game. Wales have lots aof strike runners but little creativity or passing ability.
