Wales vs England

We're up & running in Cardiff. I expect this to be a great contest.

adam240610 · 27-02-2021 5:50pm

Wonder if england will get a red card in this match now too keep the welsh streak going

razorblunt · 27-02-2021 5:51pm

Great seeing Itoje get penalised but the English offline is continuously offside, every single time.

almostover · 27-02-2021 5:51pm

Itoje with 2 penalties already. How he avoids yellow cards is beyond me. Great player but a penalty machine.

dublinman1990 · 27-02-2021 5:52pm

Wales 3 England 0

really thought England had been poor so far and wales well I guess they are hoping for a red card.
england gifted wales 3 points there

dublinman1990 · 27-02-2021 5:53pm

That was a close call from LW.

27-02-2021 5:53pm

Itoje some athlete all the same.

Quantum Baloney · 27-02-2021 5:54pm

bit more physical than the last game!

PTH2009 · 27-02-2021 5:57pm

Was going to ask why Eddie Jones was singing GSTQ but remembered Australia is a commonwealth country

Its scary to think George North is only 28. Have a feeling this could be a draw

3 penalties after 13 minutes, if it was a drinking game you'd be p*ssed by HT

AdamD · 27-02-2021 6:01pm

Three pens against Itoje already, surely should get a warning.

RugbyLover123 · 27-02-2021 6:02pm

Surely there should be a law brought in about 1 players committing a certain amount of penalties regardless of what they are is a yellow? 3 against Itoje now inside 14 mins.

dublinman1990 · 27-02-2021 6:04pm

Josh adams is on the board for Wales.

sydthebeat · 27-02-2021 6:04pm

Sympathy for farrell me hole

ednwireland · 27-02-2021 6:05pm

oops

jammiedodgers · 27-02-2021 6:05pm

you love to see it

theVersatile · 27-02-2021 6:05pm

Great heads up stuff - regardless of the questionable refereeing decision

Larbre34 · 27-02-2021 6:06pm

Forget Farrell. If that happened against Ireland we'd be tearing down the wallpaper.

Not a sporting situation I would say.

27-02-2021 6:06pm

Not sure about that tbh.

Podge_irl · 27-02-2021 6:06pm

That is poor form from the ref.

aloooof · 27-02-2021 6:06pm

I' m not a massive Farrell fan, but he had a point there...

The penalty itself was very very soft.

Clegg · 27-02-2021 6:07pm

Itoje is playing similar to 2018 where England had their mini meltdown. He plays on the bleeding edge of legality and if he's the slightest bit off his game he concedes truck loads of penalties.

Shelby Foote · 27-02-2021 6:07pm

Wales having a lucky campaign so far

RugbyLover123 · 27-02-2021 6:07pm

England or not that is very poor from the ref

KH25 · 27-02-2021 6:07pm

That’s baffling from the ref.

We did something like that against South Africa once iirc.

It was, but how is it that these decisions always, always, always, always seem to go in Wales' direction down the years?

It's clearly not some magical bias and likely is just smarts and knowing how to play the ref, but going in to any game you're almost guaranteed to see Wales benefit from refereeing calls far more than their opposition.

27-02-2021 6:08pm

Les francais n'aiment pas les anglais.

bilston · 27-02-2021 6:08pm

Terrible from the referee. Fair enough he says time on, but he has to allow England time to reset.

Absolute nonsesne

Ah jaysus. Just remembered the throw in that wasn't a throw in.

Whatever about resetting, he told Farrell to talk to his team, they were in a huddle doing just that with water carriers all over the pitch. It was utterly ridiculous.

Zzippy · 27-02-2021 6:10pm

Farrell's face! That is hilarious

Also very poor that he kept on with "please please please please... let me talk first" and then just walked off the moment he was done speaking. Might have been a language issue, but would have definitely left an even more bitter taste if I were Farrell.

sydthebeat · 27-02-2021 6:13pm

Hate to see a player chewing gum during a game

A younger Farrell wouldn't kick the long peno after. Impressive mental composure

Yeah fair enough, you'll always try it, but whether it stands in the particular circumstances should be the subject of a refereeing call that considers all factors. Wales had staff all over the pitch, for England to be disadvantaged in that case is poor.

dublinman1990 · 27-02-2021 6:14pm

I thought Josh adams try was good. But the way it was handled was not so great. It should have went ahead without the water carriers on the pitch. The ref was wrong to say that it should be counted once adams scored it. If any other team scored a try like that. Would it have been reversed?

OldRio · 27-02-2021 6:14pm

Shocking referee, awful game to watch at the moment.
How many penalties? How much kicking?

UAEguy2020 · 27-02-2021 6:16pm

You know the saying “imagine everyone in their underwear”

England should imagine every team they play is Ireland, they seem to play like men possessed against us yet play like...this again lost the others.

almostover · 27-02-2021 6:16pm

4 penalties for itoje and still no YC.

Paul Smeenus · 27-02-2021 6:16pm

Is that a fourth penalty from Itoje?

Dave_The_Sheep · 27-02-2021 6:17pm

Ball was a ****ing mile out.

The try was technically good, but it was terrible from the ref to allow play to restart in the first place.

27-02-2021 6:19pm

That went back.

prawnsambo · 27-02-2021 6:19pm

Interesting one this

Carfacemandog · 27-02-2021 6:19pm

On field decision try? :pac:

OldRio · 27-02-2021 6:19pm

Is this a piss take?

TomsOnTheRoof · 27-02-2021 6:19pm

This is hilarious stuff. Wales are gonna fluke their way to a grand slam.
