    Penalty only. Well fair play to Doyle for that.

    Oh for gods sake. That's a great tackle. You'd be applauded for that in school. Game's gone mad.

    Don't agree.
    Wales were going backwards on both sides

    His hips didn't go past the horizontal. Poor call considering it went to tmo.

    I can understand him asking the TMO to look, in real time it could have been dodgy, but the replay showed there was nothing wrong with it

    Last two Italy scrums went sharply to the right. If that isn't a wheel....:)

    "interpretation of the law" is my biggest problem with Rugby. It's a ****ing rule or it isn't.

    Why do italy kick it long at the drop out? Zero chance of getting the bsll in a good position and now It's now cost them

    Have to agree, if that is a tackle that went past the horizontal then I think our biggest concern should be fixing the horizon

    His shoulders and head were still above his hips when he hit the ground, it was completely obvious.

    Italy are killing themselves with uncontestable kicks and poor chases.

    Yeah because they can't take the pressure on their tighthead side.

    If it was wheelimg we'd see the back 5 walking sidewise.
