But Nobody expected the Spanish Inqusition

An excellent tense game that could have gone either way - England did better than expected so can take something away from the game but losing will still hurt - I think they deserved a draw. Some fantastic try saving tackles on both sides and unfortunate that it was eventually won by a Lawes error - admittedly followed by a bit of individual Welsh brilliance.

One refereeing query - should the game not have gone back to the outstanding England penalty that had been awarded when the Strettle try was not allowed? The penalty had been given within the 80 mins and no advantage had accrued so surely the game should have gone back to it?

One will never know what might have happened then . . .

Glad you said that because I also thought it at the time as well.
As for the knock on, the ref's mike picked up the ref saying he thought it was off his heeeeeed.
With around 10-15 to go, there was also the Welsh player knocking the ball into touch with his hand after a chip towards the corner.
You win some you lose some.

With regards to going back for the penalty, he was playing advantage and advantage would have over as England did get over the try line albeit without scoring so it was either a try or game over.

Watched the France game last night - Jings, if only we could play like that for the whole game! Still some silly mistakes though.
And yet another serious injury - I was sure it was a broken or very badly dislocated ankle when I saw the replay.

Well done Wales

I would just lik eto highlight that England thrashed Wales 33-0 at Twickenham on Saturday. I notice the Welsh keep very quiet about that though. So what if it was the ladies it's still a 6 Nations thrashing which is more than the Welsh men can claim.

I think everyone kept quiet about that as ladies rugby is shite. What's the point???....it'll never be as exciting as mainstream rugby as women don't have the spacial awareness needed to show real quality in a field game, aren't as strong or physical so it's just like an under-supported, dumbed down version of proper rugby.

Oh, and they can't park either!

I'll await the abuse from the laaaaaydies

Not just beat - you got to overcome nearly a 40 point difference as well. Not sure England have scored 40 points all tournament have they ;-)

Nope but i am hoping, but now after hearing Ferris arrogant england tag, which to me is a arrogant statement anyway, i want to beat the irish for the pleasure of it. Bit like the leicester coach saying england can't win or only play not to loose which is surely the point of sport???, don't hear him no though.

we are well capable of beating the french, if we do then 3 grand slams since 2005, how many dd England have in their golden era of Carling ad Wilko? go to admit they were a damn good team tat ground you down and deserved their world cup. Good years ahead, wales and england have young teams that promise t entertain!
