Haha, its nuts! Halfpenny's ruddy scrum cap used to take up as much time though, so no real change

Why keep kicking to Cuthbert he can t catch.

TightHEAD wrote:Wales getting all the 50/50

Yup

Morgan brainfart

Urrrgggg

Wales need to break their Warrenball instincts and actually kick to touch.

These line outs are a joke

These lineouts are pathetic.... pass it to your buddy and off you go.

Another wrong decision by Lacey, continuing with Fiji's breakdown leniency.

im sure these irish refs see a totally different game to everyone else

sorry Tighthead...but glad I'm not the only one thinking it

No.

were determined to commit suicide

Wales keep sealing off at the rucks

This is worrying

Yet more back chat to the Ref!

Good game this

clueless irish ref these clowns need to be banned from the game, totally out of his depth

Shades of 2007 except you scored 5 tries then. Awful performances by Francis, Jenkins and apart from the try Baldwin

Yeah, he is not doing well

Why no YK for the deliberate knock on?

Shifty wrote:clueless irish ref these clowns need to be banned from the game, totally out of his depth

Now, now. He's given you a gamefull of throw-to-your-partner lineouts. Didn't hear any complaints then

Get Rhys on

Maybe it wasn't one.

Lets see a straight line out please for the love of god

Warburton should have held onto that.

Warbs neck hold there

Wrong call there, yet another 50/50 going against the minnow

It was correct TightHEAD that was clear

Cracking game

Whatever, you know it wasnt

Right you guys.... You are 10 pts up and now go for those two extra tries

Wales and the famous 'drift attack' there.

SecretFly wrote:sorry Tighthead...but glad I'm not the only one thinking it

Both right - might as well throw it straight to the SH ...

Does look like the TBP is going to happen, which is a big blow. Very reliant on Aus winning now or there will be a lot of pressure next Saturday.

Just take the win, start throwing it around again will help fiji

These turnarounds must be getting to us. Glad we're getting a good rest before Aus.

Also pinged Fiji incorrectly to give Wales 3 ...

TightHEAD I am scottish so no bias. It was a clear correct call.
If you are on just to wind up fair enough, but it was correct

Interception time by Priestland.. I hope not.

"Right you guys.... You are 10 pts up and now go for those two extra tries "

Of course... no bias

Depends how many bites of the cherry you are allowed by the ref!

Typical Hook...

Great kick by Priestland

What a YK or a deliberate KO?

Preistland and Hook coming on to provide stability ???

Gotta go for touch

If only it was at a neutral ground!
