I have to confess to not having seen the game as my Sky decoder decided to
throw a hissy fit. So am looking forward to reviews here.

Can't they just accept they were beaten on the night, God knows its happened
to us at critical times, and while the general public might whine like a
plane full of poms, the coaches didn't.

Cheers

Ref did ok I thought. Still hate them doing nothing about all teams
standing offside killing the backline ball but the IRB seem to have
decided offside no longer exists. A few hands in the ruck killing ball
and was weird when a blatant forward pass (by Wales) was met with "Don't
worry about it" from the ref. But overall he seemed fairly equal to both
sides and it was a good game I thought.

Lord Shiney wonders what Gatland thinks about the bloke who kicked
Leonard in the head, forcing him off the field. Presumably it was ok
for the ref (and touchy) to kiss that.

I thought Joubert was exactly the opposite of intimidated. The Welsh
crowd was baying for Carter's blood, but there's no way that tackle
deserved a penalty, let alone a yellow.

Yep, me too.

ABs deserved the win over all, but at least Wales made a fight of it.

2nd row Jones should have sprinted for the line instead of looking
around

Ran out of puff I think. Guilford was running him down anyway.
