this must have cost NZ plenty
maybe thats why they say they cannot afford to go to the next world cup
Love nuggets optimism 🙂
Come on Wales!
to be fair, seen at full speed that tackle would have looked well dodgy.
BUT
i agree with francois, why not consult touch judges or use the video for such an important decision- SHOCKING ARROGANCE from the ref. no surprise there then!
ITV coverage as usual over blowing things, the red is not a totally wrong descision, but was very, very harsh.
Probably time to watch Zulu at half time in the Welsh dressing room then
But they're right in saying it was the wrong decision for the game.
It was the wrong tackle for the game
A real shame that. Unlucky to get the red but it was still a dangerous tackle. You can see him let go halfway through and not drive through, can't really see how you could put someone down much more gently than that. Still hoping that Wales can do the business. They are going to have to defend perfectly in the second half, but you can still see them scoring. And as aa says, they need to mash one of the front row in the dressing room door a few times 😉
DS, that bring it home thing was a joke, just paraphrasing some of the media shift. Still:

Alain Roland is an Irishman with a French mother refereeing a Semi Final between France & Wales, which Wales arrived at by beating Ireland. That sounds so ridiculous I can't believe i didnt just make it up

He is one of, if not the best, referees in the world, having refereed many games at [i]the[/i] highest level. Tackling like this however....

If Wales win this, and I think they can, without Jones and with Roberts in the scrum, and down to 14, then whoever wins tomorrow will have to be at their absolute best to beat them in the final. France lifted a bit after Warburton went, but Wales have thoroughly outplayed them so far.
Hook off, not a bad idea.
A little information in the wrong hands is always dangerous zokes.

Sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending it's all a conspiracy is considerably worse...
The next score will dec
Good to see someone in the Welsh camp is keeping an eye on STW for my words of advice.
The next score will decide this game
I've no idea what you're talking about zokes.

Sticking your fingers in your ears
Why would I need to do that, I've got my tinfoil hat on?
I've no idea what you're talking about zokes.
Sorry - I knew it wasn't you, but someone up there wearing a tin foil hat did indicate that it was fixed reffing because Wales might be too good for the All Blacks. I didn't make that clear.
We can't have this French team in the World Cup final! They'll get destroyed!
COME ON WALES!

Just out of interest, how do you stereotype when there's only one of you?

Maybe it's a monotype? I guess you'd need at least 6 of me for full dolby surround sound fidelity...
