What a rubbish ref. Sorry, but how biased was that South African?
Also, when will they bring a rule in that says if you touch a player when hes in the air and you make no attempt to win the ball its a straight red. The collision half way through second half is pure evidence for it. IMO the most dangerous thing in rugby. He got no warning at all, then Tindell gets a yellow for being on the bottom of a ruck. Rugby refs are really balls atm!

Funny how we see things differently!
Overall, a good game. England took their chances but didn't create much. Very good defensively though.

Much better performance from England. Possibly their best under Johnson.
Wales winning wasn't a surprise but England scoring more tries certainly was. If England can sort out their discipline they might still have an outside chance of winning the championship, though they'd need to win their remaining games and hope Ireland beat Wales.

Only saw the 2nd half and the Tindall yellow was def in the 1st half so it didnt happen in the 2nd half surely? Good effort by England to get to within 10 pts, but it shows how well they played that i was actually a bit disappointed that the scoreline wasn't closer.

The Tindell incident was 10 mins into 1st half. Which was so minor it was ridiculous. The second half incident was when England #15 jumped and caught the ball and a chasing Wales player took his legs out in the air (and didn't try to catch the ball at all) and tipped him onto his head. He got nothing for it.

Italy 9-38 Ireland
A very boring game tbh. Ireland scored 2 late tries in 2 minutes from each other.
Italy was for first 30 mins ahead.

Saw the Byrne try after 23mins. Commentators were WOAH GREAT TRY, yet I just saw it as a normal run through the defense and the French were caught napping and made to pay. Altho obv eventually they came back and won!
Ireland still only team with 100% record as I type!

Today's results: Scotland 26-6 Italy Ireland 14-13 England Ireland are the only unbeaten team so far (Wales can still win the Triple Crown, however), Italy are the only team not to have yet won a game. For England to have any chance of winning the tournament, the following results are all necessary: England to beat France England to beat Scotland Wales to beat Ireland Italy to beat Wales For Scotland to have any chance of winning the tournament, the following results need to occur: Scotland to beat Ireland Scotland to beat England Wales to beat Ireland Italy to beat Wales

Altho obv eventually they came back and won! I actually thought the same, but my dad insisted it was a great try! Bit disappointed Wales lost in the end, but would have been funny if France hadn't won given their 2nd half dominance! If it wasn't for England's indiscipline they'd be serious title contenders.
