You sure it was legal though...

Looked alright to me, did I miss something?

Yeah Wales scored, and seeing as we are the jammiest bunch of cheating jammy dodgers then surely we cheated. Unless I'm missing something?

Aahh sure Saint, when have you seen me say anything like that?

Not you. You constantly make positive contributions to this forum. And your surname is great.

by tigertattie Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:47 pm

Hmmm. I understand that Martyn Williams is happy that wakes have scored again. But is laughing about it really professional???

by Guest Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:48 pm

Ah good. Scott Andrews is on

by nathan Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:48 pm

No. He's a poor pundit, I personally can't stand him commenting on Pro12 games because of his Blue eyes.

Relentless from Wales, really turning the screw now and will go on. Excellent stuff from them.

YESSSS North.

by **Notch** Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:51 pm

Woof- Italy look completely punch-drunk. I can see Wales winning by 40+ now.

by Golden Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:51 pm

Jebus wales are taking the trophy

by nathan Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:51 pm

another try! Italy imploding here, helped by a few dodgy decision. Wink

by Rory_Gallagher Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:52 pm

Italy have just given up!

And again he's laughing. The bbc should really be getting rid of this hack!

by The Saint Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:52 pm

We have poor props, but elsewhere Gatland gets the selections and their substitutions right. It's a shame it had to happen this late on in the tournament though.

by nathan Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:52 pm

this score is going to be putting alot of pressure on the other games

by quinsforever Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:52 pm

And the chase is on.

Wales are now +4 of England.

Cricket score coming up.

by Nachos Jones_1 Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:53 pm

He is a wiley auld fecker that Gatland...

by Golden Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:54 pm

-108 is some points difference, especially considering theyre not bottom

by nathan Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:54 pm

what the Frak! how the hell was that classed as on his feet!!!

by Pete330v2 Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:54 pm

Italy have simply given up now.

He is allowed to be delighted with the performance of his team. Would you rather listen to robotic, monotonous commentary? For the sake of "professionalism"?

Not a refereeing conspiracy? Surely?

by tigertattie Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:55 pm

Wales smell blood and are not going to show mercy!

but is he not employed in a professional capacity and not as a fan or cheerleader?

Scott Williams clearly was on his feet. You really are blind if you couldn't see?

by nathan Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:57 pm

another Poopie decision against Italy

by kunu Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:57 pm

Turned into a training ground game. Parisee's absence is massively felt

by The Saint Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:57 pm

Ruthless.

by **Notch** Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:57 pm

Italy leaking penalties, losing line outs and getting turned over in the scrum. It's turning into an absolute nightmare for them. Another yellow card there, and I'd be surprised if its the last yellow at this rate!

by Rory_Gallagher Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:57 pm

Okay, these calls are shocking, can anyone really deny that?

by Nachos Jones_1 Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:58 pm

Too many penalties from Italy now. Stop it, you're killing Irelands chances...

his head and shoulders were clearly resting on an italian player.

Another yellow for italy due to some joke reffing. Wales being gifted some calls here.

by TightHEAD Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:58 pm

Ref has lost the plot

by The Saint Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:58 pm

Surely there was a call for a penalty try there.

by Guest Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:58 pm

Or the ref is finally wise to them trying to spoil only. Well done ref.
