Meanwhile, several miles south of here, who would've expected Italy to be 17-15 up against the Boks with twenty minutes to play?
And they've only beaten them 20-18! clap
I think they had try disallowed in the last minute as well.

Wooden spoon for Wales six nations 2017..

Horrible to think that a team that just lost to Italy is going to put 30 on us next week. Dark times ahead.

Why are they so st? I don't get that they can be so worse with Gatland away

Can't imagine it being all that better when Gatland comes back to be honest. We're too slow, too small, too disorganised and make too many mistakes. I don't get how people who get paid to do this can do it so badly? If I was that bad at my job I'd be out on my ear by the end of the week..

Our next match against England is going to be a bloodbath!

Two differences between you and a rugby international...

1. Your boss probably isn't as directly responsible for your performance on the day as a rugby player's is.

2. Your boss won't have seen all of your potential replacements when he has to decide whether or not to sack you.

Was aimed more at the players than the coaches.

If you were to listen to the buildup on radio Wales during the week you'd think we have the best players in the world. They performance on the day is far from. A few players need to be left out of the squad permanently and let other have a chance.

I can't help thinking that the Irish are going to get their arses handed to them tonight.

Cracking game so far. All Blacks getting a lot of benefit of the doubt though. Come on Ireland.

The ABs have found new ways to cheat. Should only take a couple of years for the officials to get wise to them

Yes. Their second try being a case in point.

Jaco had the doubt, but let himself be convinced

They seem to have invented a new tackle method that looks suspiciously like taking a players head of with the tacklers shoulder, but doesnt because World Rugby have outlawed that approach

Just watching the England highlights on BBC. This lady presenters voice is so annoying. Just doesn't work for me.

Hard to argue with that score line. Fair enough we played reasonably well but could not get the scores.

Glad I'm not the only one..

Nothing against woman commentators just commentators with annoying voices btw.

What's that?

Spend half the match offside and the other half scoring tries?

The All Blacks were always going to be on the edge physically after us beating them 2 weeks ago. And tbh I've no real issue with that. I have an issue however with calls like, in the first half Read dived in from behind the maul , from the Irish side when there was clear forward momentum and scooped out the ball. Just a penalty. There were some heavy hits after that but that's part of the game. Another issue was the final try, absolutely a forward pass so much so that Best approached the referee about it as the kicker was lining up. Lastly the try NZ got when Sexton almost held Barrett up. I think it was down to be fair, but the referee seemed astounded the tmo was about to give it, he even double and treble checked it. Why not make a call. Such a shame after an incredible game we end up talking about a referee lacking balls.
