Couple of points here. I really HATE baabaas games, where flowing rugby is key and oucome doesn't matter. it's crap. give me a 9-6 victory or loss. the famous 1973 game vs Darkness was brilliant because it was really Lions side and the outcome mattered. Second, there is a worrying trend...

think this is right Pete and was a BIG mistake. When teams lose a player, at least in NH they tend to do shut up shop and hope that they will keep close enough to be in a position to pressurise at the end and get a penalty. Few teams I suspect would believe that the team of 15 they are opposing...

Don't think you will get any disagreement 'cept on the influence of warburton on this team and the game. The lineout fell to bits cos of the removal of back option made it easy to defend, and whilst Jaw covered well, we missed him in centre in attack as a result. I agree they didn't adjust well...

that's right. the decision right or wrong was made and it pretty much determined the course of RWC. It also ruined what might have been a great spectacle. My point is that there is a world of difference between Sam warburton's tackle and some psychopath in a 4th grade team out to maim someone...

Hang on fanatic. We may be seeing a lot of each other over the next two months

Absolute bollocks. that's not what I said or what happened.

You have a short memory. Last RWC the press over here kept on the line- NH refs bad vs SH refs good. So, what do you think now? Are they any better.

Don't start that off again, but yes it was quite a spray

there is no comparison, so please don;t imply that there is

That's the issue that everyone's pissed off with. How was this judged dangerous? what was Dusatoir doing screaming at the ref? what do you make of winger's theatrics on the floor in the light of what he did 2nd half. And if ref did not make an error, why did he give ridiculous penalties to wales...

Yeah but don't agree. Everyone in wales I know is hoping whoever wins today creams the french next week. think grassroots is going to have to take a deep breath and reconsider this NH vs SH shit and whether it is in te best interests of rugby and not fuelled by vested interests antony would...

My thoughts exactly. And while we're on the subject again. I think it completely reprehensible the way that Dusatoir was allowed to get in the face af the ref and scream at him. He did and in the heat of the evening, he made an on the spot decision and then spent the rest of the game trying to...

Yes there is an irony in this situation. My point is that large sections of france are closer to England than mediterranean in most things- tho thankfully not when it comes to food

Third time this has gone up yur mun. See welsh thread. I loves it tho. Actually gwlad chat room has been remarkably lacomic. there were 500 plus online after the game, yet there was generally lots of positives and actually most now looking forward to fridays game with a view to going out on a...

took this of Gwl@d. Sums up pretty much RWC for us. thanks to 'pleidiol wyf' It is hard to imagine a more heart-breaking defeat. Down to 14 men for the last hour, and having lost our cornerstone on the tighthead after only 10 minutes, Wales had no right to be in this match at all; and yet we...

I will support ANYONE over the french in the final- even if australia have no backs left whatsoever and whole back row forced to play wings and FB, they will still beat them

Huw, Just got back from Spring cycle ride where they gave us copies of the smellygraph. The paper had at least two articles on QC (Quade Cooper) vs SBW (whom we know is not playing) and amongst 4 or 5 pages of meaningless drivel, absolutely zero inches dedicated to last night's game NONE. My point re: the...
