Thats wrong. Ref decides short, is influenced by welsh players to go to the video. Shame on the ref.

I'm not a rugby expert so i'm probably talking nonsense but why do wales always seem to kick the ball back to England so cheaply,england look the much more athletic team,surely that's a losing strategy over an 80minute match.

Liking AWJ as captain - good chat with ref, not arguing.

If it's short, it doesn't matter - game stopped anyway - best to check it.

Let's just say the breakdowns are being contested 'enthusiastically'. 😯

Why did Ford kick that with time out?? Drive a few yds for a pen at least.

Good half! Flashed by. Brilliant move off the scrum for Wales' try.
No idea who's gonna win this one!

Well played wales. I though England's strength would be too much at one stage but good pressure and great try

Excellent match. Heart is pumping!!

Wales have avoided kicks to touch for years. They want a high ball in play time as they back their fitness and defence...rightly or wrongly.

The dogs have stopped coming over for a stroke as I tend to grab hold of anything nearby when it gets exciting 🙂

A good half. More of the same please

Yep great stuff!!! As long as England can keep Wales at 5-7 points ahead, I'm still hopeful that our bench will see us to a slim victory! Not convinced though.....very tense!

Yeah Wales need to put the game to bed by 55 mins if they are to stand a chance.

I think Wales will sneak this; AWJ looked massively fired up for the anthems.

Wales seem to be much better at the breakdown than us.

Thought England were going to start running away with it after that try. So glad we managed that try, should have kicked those extra points though.

Worried about our #10 channel

Hope Rhys is ok, Ford has a big pinkie and that must have really hurt

Wales' defence is better and I think that'll edge them this tight and bloody thrilling game.

When we play well we are better, but it's too infrequent. Still we can make tow late tries......(hope springs eternal)

I need my HRM to check the stress levels !

Agree about the ref, great game. There's been serious competition for the ball in almost every single ruck and he's managed it brilliantly. 2 point game. Jeez!

Good game. Wales were always hanging in there and it looked like England would blow them away in the first 10mins.

We weren't robbed,we kicked the ball in the air for the england players to run onto at speed.

Arghhhh!

Should have smashed that into the stands...

Or taken the points from the kick in the first half.

WHY

DIDNT

HE

KICK

IT

OUT?

Brilliant game, Wales scored through a moment of sheer class, England held on, then the pressure told.

That really could have gone either way.

Awesome

Awesome

Awesome

Now for an X-ray 😉

Daley to #15, George to start. Can we carry Ford????

Jiffy got one thnf right - we were more dangerous with ball in hand.

What a game!!!

Mikey - true, it was going to hurt them at some point, but it was obviously a tactic.

Quality test match. Fine win but equally I would have no complaints had Wales closed it out. Much better than last week.

Edit: I'm not Farrel's biggest fan but fabulous pass for the final try and probably needed to be that good.

I really like that Daly and Nowell are smart players. Not hulking monsters, but they make yards most of the time and really look composed in the crazy situations when they have to turn and make big decision in defence.

Get in!

Just rewatched the last try. Biggar was the cover, and looked knackered and couldn't get across.

Beg Leigh's pardon, it was Davies who blew the kick. No matter what the "tactics", at the end of a game like that the ball has to go dead.

It was a classic and really could have gone either way. I don't think Wales were robbed; it was fine margins and neither team was ever in control. So few unforced errors absolutely great game.

TBF can we now have a gif with (unlucky) Cuthbert punching the ground this time as WE score AA?

Only fair.... 😉

Was Eddie thinking about Daley at #15 in the interview?

Really fantastic game - re. That last try, the ball should have been kicked to touch so not only cuthberts fault... but the most you see of him on the footage is him looking pained when he's messed up.

Plenty of great performances.

Great match, superb sportsmanship (esp Farrel after the late tackle in the first half) and true grit from both sides. I'm glad England won but wouldn't have grumbled if Wales had taken it.
