Cari - !

Trimble doesn't have a patch on Sanjay!


Although being serious, I think it's the hair....

Wales just seem to be a bit lethargic. Still, I'd rather they all stay injury free than a win full of casualties.

Tipuric saving the day one turnover at a time.

Dreamer yeah I think it's the gangly legs and blonde locks. Why is he called Sanjay?

Baabaas immediately turn it over again

Only one side being reffed at the breakdown and it ain't the baa baas

The Babaas seem determined to go out with a bang now, if Wales can hold out there should be opportunities to come back
Bit more pace in the game but still looks like one side isnt taking it that seriously and the other is out of its depth

Robinson and Rhys off for Harries and Hibbard respectively.

Ha Hibbs has had his hair re-done....

Swansea's favourite hooker...

Nothing worse than your roots showing Dreamer!

It was a nickname he picked up when he was really young and on holiday in Turkey I think it was.Something to do with a market stall and a tan he got or something. There's loads of different versions as to how he got it! He's been called it for years though

They have missed having Shaun Edward off in Aus all week, some poor defence from Wales.

Please point out one ruck nugget has entered legally and been pulled up for!

Oh I see. It's quite funny.

Gwaaaan Hook! Don't hesitate about passing, just gooooooooooooooooooo....

Good try. Donald looks fecked though.

Well Hook, consider yourself the fly-half replacement .

HOOOOOOOK!!!



Ah a great try and I like he was still looking to see if he needed to pass too. Good awareness!


Lovely.

James Hook

And Wales are level

James Hook. Pace, awareness, balance.

Can't see Jones, Priestland or Biggs finishing that so easily...

I wonder how Hook's french is coming along? Bon?

Massive conversion kick for himself. Awkward angle.

Perfick! 23 - 21.

I did think to myself that's a nice bit of cheating from Nugget at time.

Where do you hail from KK and who do you support? What's Swanage?

Hope he gets this kick now......




Lovely!!

23 - 21


7 mins to go!

ah Martyn's got a bloody nose again. I honestly cant recall the last time he played for Wales and didn't get one!

Brilliant kick from Hook

23 - 21

that's a cracking kick from Hook, he's won the back up place for Preistland for the Aus tour after today's performance.

Barbarains defence about as organised as it was against England there. Not even Hook could contrive to stuff that up.

If they can get far enough ahead will Wales gift swilliams a try the same way they gave martyn his 100th cap for free?

ah crap, i think Hibbs has hurt himself....

I hope the Baabas don't nip the win again like they did last time we played them!

Hibbs hair looks fecking ridiculous. Sorry but it does. He looks like a fat hairdresser!

I agree seabiacuit. I think the baa baas team v England took the game with the same seriousness of a HC final or world cup game. You should be very proud of the hard fought win England produced. Chin chin

Hibbard makes a big difference, as always. Wales' bench for the first team is shaping up to be the best of the 6 Nations IMO.

I think its because he's just had it done. Give it a couple of weeks and it'll look more "natural"

Hibbard should have been on a long time ago. Rees never recovered from his dislocated finger, need Hibbard's athletic approach when the Baaba's brought their big lads on.

Agree Martyr. Not sure if Rhys should've continued for as long as he did.

Gwaaan Harries!

Rory Lawson has been awful since he came on. Really awful.

Yep, I agree

Swanage in a small town on the Dorset coast, still play for my local side at the ripe young age of 37.
Support sarries and have since I was a nipper as family have ties there and had a trial with them in 92

aah so close for Warren but he spills it.

He's having a nice little cameo mind.

Do you have to be so offensive and make everything into some kind of personal battle between england and wales?
Ive been quite open in saying what a joke the england game was and how meaningless it was ..and above pointed out how hopless the baabaas defence was (is)

Get the chip off your shoulder.

Rhys Webb should now be 2nd choice.

Ahhh I hope we don't lose this again in the last minute like last year. Ian Evans MOTM for me

Don't let Shane Williams score like he has at every other "last" game!

Ian Evans is being mean now...poor Shane

Very nice bit of deliberate obstruction at the ruck befor hooks try

Shhhhh! I didn't think anyone had noticed that from Martyn

Ahh no! not again

MOTM is Francois Louw.

BREEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TYPHOOOOOOOOOO!

I'll take back what I said earlier....

ah a try from Brew!


Great endeavour from the BaaBaa's, but Wales' chasing defence there was superb in putting the pressure on and forcing the error!
