That is a crack about your ability to be even handed regarding the match. If you have mental health issues welcome to the asylum as I suffer from them as well. I'm also very open about them.

Very even handed. If you decide to be biased thats fine. I would rather Nigel Owens had reffed that match. He would have been far better and correctly used the tmo and penalised at the breakdown where needed and certainly wouldnt have tolerated the welsh players in his ear at every decision, to the extent of getting him to check with the tmo on a (short) grounding he had already ruled on.

No argument of any relevance or substance. All you have done is spout rhetoric no facts. Pasionate but misguided and misinformed.

Probably the best 6 Nations match I have ever seen. Wales were phenomenal. Never more than 5 points in it. Desire from both teams. The game had everything. The ref missed loads of infringements from both teams. He allowed the game to flow. England edged it due to poor decisions. Wales should have taken the the six points on offer from the penalties awarded, but chose to go for glory. That is where they lost. England kicked theirs onto the scoreboard. A fantastic advert for Northern Hemisphere rugby.

Anyone who thinks that Wales were rubbish has no idea what RU is. They were magnificent. And unlucky/careless to lose (Cuthbert).

England fan. But respect for the Welsh team. A damn hard game.

Well said Johnno.

I thought your opening post was both gracious and magnanimous and cannot understand the hostility by some on here.

The referee did miss the late tackle but also missed an offside by England that prevented a Wales try. Overall I think the Referee did a good job and tried to be fair to both sides. I have seen much worse referees than that one.

It was a fantastic match, played with passion and was a credit to both sides.

I must admit I was worried that Wales might close it out and hang on for victory, but that winning score was thrilling and despite my Parkinson's and Knee Joint problems I leapt up in the air to celebrate as he went over which shocked my Mrs!

All the best Johnno!

one of the tightest games have seen in the 6 nations, moriaty's tackle was a tad late, youngs was just offside, but thought that ref had a good game, sometimes they seem to go to the TMO all the time...at the end of the day the game was decided by one welsh mistake in not finding touch...head still hurts!

England have a really good knack of keeping going right until the final seconds. That is something true champions manage to do. I can't wait to see them take on the All Blacks, it should be a tremendous match (don't let my fellow countrymen know) but I'll be supporting England.

As for Wales I thought we did well and seem to be trying to get the ball out to the flanks a bit more rather than just crunching through the middle which is good to see.

gutted to have lost by what was in the end failing to find touch in the 75th minute, England seized the opportunity and nicked the winning score at the end.
at the end of the day wales only racked up 3 pts in the 2nd half and didn't finish there chances.
England hung in there and took there chances in the 2nd half.
many times I have seen the wallabys and southern hemisphere teams win games in that fashion against the northern hemisphere, England have seemed to have learned that through eddie jones.
no complaints here from this Welshmen well done England and well played both teams.

Yes a great game of rugby yesterday. Lost by Wales by Alun Wyn Jones knocking on instead of scoring a try as well as missing 3 penalty kicks and then kicking away possession instead of putting into touch near the end of the game.
Also not sure in real time it was a late tackle, thought it was ok. They always look worse on slow motion and didn't think England were offside when Wales tried to score the try.

To win Wales should have put more points on earlier in the match as England have the ability these days not to panic but slowly ramp up the pressure.

They have real strength and experience in depth from the bench. Doesn't Eddie Jones call them finishers now not subs they certainly come on and do the job.

Yes nickyf exactly like the Southern Hemisphere style of play!

But Wales can be really proud as that's the best that they have played for a while and if George North had been fit to play he may well have made the difference!
