I think this tedious argument can be summed up as per below.
England can certainly feel hard done but not necessarily because they were shafted by the referee.

That's fair. They got a pretty rough deal in the lottery of life, being born English

I know... when you follow Wales for a few years you learn that teams that are far too strong for Italy (or Samoa or Fiji...) can still find a way to grind out a defeat

Pivac named the side early. All fit and firing.

@mikethesnow
After we win the World Cup, then I'll feel safeBut yeah, seriously, we should have no problem with this team. On current form anything less than a BP win would be disappointing.
And I'm quite looking forward to England- France too, that's a no lose match. Always good to see England lose to France, but if it goes the other way that's a good result for us

Yeah, not happy with that. Teams are named on Thursdays and he knows it, he's a Kiwi. We'd be accused of arrogance for that - "it's only Italy, just name a team whenever".
As a closet Wales fan, I'm pleasantly surprised at how they are going (albeit with a bit of red card help).

I like that. Can't see how anyone can say the first try was bogus after watching that.
Something of a different perspective but still a shit show. Did England have enough time to get the message across? Of course. Did some of their guys fan out? Yes. Did the ref tell England that time was going back on? No. Did he tell Biggar that time was going on? Yes. Did he check that England were ready for time going back on? No.
Farrell had stopped speaking to his players. Ten seconds later the ref blew his whistle and said time on. May had jogged to his wing. The Welsh water carriers were moving from the field of play. Watson and Ford were incredibly slow cover the wing. The kick was to perfection exposing their tardiness. Seeing all the angles, nowt wrong with that try and what the ref did.
Nope. That's just wrong. He said time on to Bigger. Blew this whistle, Biggar took the kick and he then said "time iron" with the ball already in play. Have another look at the video.
I have seen the video, thank you. Time is on when the ref blows his whistle. Elliot Daly was already on the other wing by that point. The ref doesn't have to wait for all the defending team to get back in position when the attacking team awarded a penalty want to play. The game goes at the speed of the ref's whistle.
Yeah I assumed that you'd seen the video, hence me saying have another look. Once you have, if you care to that is, answer whether what I'd said is correct, that he
- Said time is on to Biggar.
- He then blew his whistle.
- He then said in general time is on when the ball was already in flight.
For what it's worth I can see most of your points of view and agree to one degree or another with some. But taken as a whole that decision was just plain wrong. Ask yourself if your team was on the receiving end of that decision whether or not you'd be fuming. No ifs and buts, would you be fuming?

France did it to us in RWC 2011 pool play.
I'm still dark about it

Maybe if he'd named an experimental team, but this is virtually full strength, which says he's not taking Italy lightly

Was the naming of the team before Thursday - not the strength of the team. Teams are named on Thursdays around here - it a long standing tradition.
