    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.

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

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

    Absolute nonsesne

    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.

    England or not that is very poor from the ref

    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.

    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.

    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?

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

    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.

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