How was that not a try?

[Kruse]

@crucial Some sort of "agreement"?

[Kruse]

I've picked up a weirdly specific strain of Tourette's.
Whenever Mike Brown appears on screen, I say "fluffybunny".

[Crucial]

Wales haven't realised that the French interpretation of offside is a metre different.

Hartley's clinging to his roots, black singlet on.

I thought it was a sports bra.

[Bones]

Holy shit. Shingler you egg. Will take a fair bit to see a dumber piece of play this year.

[Kruse]

Gatland dives for tryline a metre early, fucks up an unfuckup-able try.

[Kruse]

Wales looking like Indian bookies have taken an interest in rugby.
And the Welsh players have a few teenage pregnancies to pay for.

[Crucial]

Tedious second half. England parked the bus at halftime

[Kruse]

All over, pair of tries trumps pair of penalties.

A dodgy Kiwi TMO.

I think England deserved the win but Wales were unlucky with the Anscombe no-try and then Williams was denied by excellent defence.

Speaking of Anscombe, Wales looked better on attack when he moved to 1st 5.

Agree about Anscombe which is surprising as his biggest issue in NZ was standing off and stifling attack.
I just don't get what pictures the TMO was watching or what odd interpretation he was using. Maybe he had been watching the 10s?
Anscombes hand came down on the ball first and the ball hand and ground were all connected.

[Bones]

Yeah that TMO call was odd, I saw the first replay and said try so headed off to the kitchen for supplies. Come back and he's saying the defending player got there first?

Anyway, how frustratingly shit was Wales ability to finish or even at least just have some continuity after breaking the line? Seemed every time they broke, the player had no idea what to do so would usually just take the tackle.. Unless they went all genius and put in a grubber to no-one, stopped and fell on the ground instead of diving at the line, or just plain dropped the ball.

England should have dicked them.

[Bovidae]

England definitely won the kicking duel and Davies made Marshall look like A Smith with the speed of his pass.

[mariner4life]

Just finished watching England v Wales. Farrell is a seriously impressive player, easily the best on the park. I would take him at 12 for us in a heartbeat.

I sort of don't know what to make if the game. First half england owned them but didn't really look like scoring. Still kick away too much good ball. Impressive slide defense as well.

2nd half wales much better. Offloiads and inside balls opened england up, but shit the error count. And in the end that was the difference.

Mike Brown is still a mouthy dick who should absolutely been carded for slapping that ball.

[MiketheSnow]

Just watched the post match pressers

Fuck me

Here you go Warren

'We weren't good enough, England were better.

We've got to work harder to be more accurate to take the decisions away from the referee and TMO'

[booboo]

Wazza cracks the shits at a post match press conference. Gee what a turn up for the books.

[Bones]

Kurt Baker v Mike Brown. Charity boxing match, get it done.
