A lot of cards this round. Was it 3 red cards and 5 yellows across the 3 matches?

Whatever happen to 15v15? The red card against Willemse for eye gouging was correct, the one against Aki absurd.

We fucking blew that
But in fairness I thought we’d win one match this 6N
So onwards and upwards

I tend to think France deserved that for that last "30mins" (seemed to take an hour with the stoppages, thought I was watch b-ball).
Two tries ruled out (foul play, and no check on the placement after the tackle), and how many times were they held up?
Re the red - thought he may have been unlucky as eye contact was unintentional (as Barnesy pointed out), but I'm not sure of the law, because the finger definitely hooked the eye.
Fair call to rule out the try.
Going back earlier though I did think there was a case for a penalty try for France 3's cynical maul offence (the YC just before Zammit put it on touch in goal line), which should have made it safe for Wales.

France need to score 4 tries and beat Scotland by +20 points on Friday night to win the Championship.

Best drama on BBC 1 on a Saturday night for years

@sparky said in NH International Rugby:
BBC are talking about points differential. That is what it's been in the past.
Yeah, weird, your think who won the game would be the best first tie breaker. They all play each other, but point differential it is
If two or more Unions finish the Championship with the same number of Match Points, they will be placed according to the difference between the total points scored and the total points conceded on the fields of play in all Matches.
If any such Unions also have the same points difference, they will be placed according to the number of tries (including penalty tries) scored by each Union in all Matches.
If any such Unions have also scored the same number of tries (including penalty tries), they will be placed equally..

Agreed when it’s malicious. But this game is sanitized past any recognition of me coming home with my back raked red from studs...Let’s all just think back...It was very very different NOT that long ago.... and slow motion replays completely betray the speed these guys play at. How can we ever hope to definitively prove the difference between malice and reaction speed??Sorry for Wales and I thought the ref was good overall. Just such fine margins and such a tough job these days especially...

Biggest choke since The Boston Strangler

Now Genge thinks it's tough to talk smack to Sexton and continue on even after the ref told him to calm down. What a mong.

Was that just after this bit of MMA?

Welsh discipline went to absolute shit in the last 15 minutes. 14 penalties were the killer.
Ollivon immense for France.

I was not expecting that. I was quite prepared for the idea that we might lose because France just outplayed us, but not this way. Discipline has been such a strong point for Wales for a long time, so to see it unravelling was quite a shock.
Hard to take as a fan. Can only imagine the mood in the team right now.
But credit to France, epic game, and they kept on coming and asking the questions.

So....just me that's worried what tech the TMOs are being given to watch replays on?
Barnes calls the Rees-Zammit try attempt as grounded against the base of the corner flag, when it appears clear it's grounded on the dead ball line past the flag. I also thought it was clear that France held up the Welsh player for the other call too.

I think with the second one you're referring to, the on field call was try, so they needed conclusive proof that it never touched the ground.
To me it wasn't clear - I couldn't see a grounding, but couldn't be sure it wasn't grounded. So TMO has to stick with on field call either way.
Then again, my tech is pretty low quality and is sometimes prone to a severe welsh bias, so your may be better
