This looked like a decent match - was it?

 

[Highlander35]

Yeah, it was, albeit mostly in comparison to the dire Ireland v France.

Just not doing well enough for us. Potential Spoon off coming up in Rome.

Hopefully Hogg, Maitland, Visser, Dunbar, Scott, Strauss and Ford are fit or considered match fit for then. Looking far too much like a repeat of last year, close but underwhelming performance against a big boy, then a narrow loss to Wales coming up against an Italy equally desperate for a win.

I don't understand how the first Wales try wasn't offside. The commentators and refs only focussed on the players next to and behind the kicker but the halfback who scored the try was way in front of the kicker and ran towards the ball after it was kicked?

I don't know about that.
