Yes bizarre decisions not to kick penalties.
There are loads of positives to take from that game.
We missed a whole backline and still came within a last ditch tackle and a boners TMO decision of winning at the home of the world number 2
Clearly losing our whole back 3 was a massive blow and a weakness England smartly exploited
BUT we need to start so much sharper than that in future

Anyways onwards and upwards....Sanjay scored the winning try yesterday so hes back in the frame, north plays today as does amos and adams. So the back 3 has some serious competition and returning players. Back 3 always crucial in Ireland.

The question we need to ask is why Alun Wyn did not give Patchel/Anscombe a chance, not so much that 1/2p was missing!!!!
Be careful when you pick up the stick.........IT MAY BE THE WRONG END!!!!!!!!!!

He’s not yet asked if she follows a region. It turns out she’s a Pembrokeshire lass, so you’d like to think we know the answer.

He was also aware of us having loads of players in the national team. When I said that we’d had 10 v Scotland but only 9 last week due to 1/2p’s foot.

“OMG”, he says, “Good job he wasn’t playing as we’d have been stuffed otherwise”.

The word is spreading.

A spot on summation from the English gentleman - Halfpenny would have kicked at least 5 of the 6 kickable penalties we were awarded and our back 3 would not have been so positionally naiive for the 1st try. Add in the try which wasn't given which he would have converted I make that England 7-22 Wales. Indeed a big opportunity missed.

The more I think about it the more I realise how Wales really did let that game slip. Regardless of the non try we had two other gilt edged try scoring chances and two very kickable penalties which we turned down. We really do only have ourselves to blame. 

What it does say though is that if Gatland continues to be bold in his gameplan we could well be in a better place than Eddie's boys come Japan.

Don't like hanging anyone out to dry, but that was so obviously a try that the TMO should have to explain his thought process in full !

This means the result changes and we’re on for the grand slam? If not it’s pretty pointless.

Not that it makes any difference, because the best side won.  However.....!!!


Did you happen to see who was on the phone saying the TMO made a mistake?

whatever one says about north he has 33 test tries and you could see that experience when he came on I thought he looked sharp considering. sanjay is a star and having played saturday hopefully 2 more weeks and he will be match sharp. 2 totally different players but both very special and able to create space break tackles and flip offloads out the back door... faletau is world class as is hapenny. as for patch what frustrates me is gatland has failed to develop him as a fly half for 2 years so then he gets thrown into the lions den. I hope patch takes it in his stride , takes the positives learns from it and moves on and doesnt sufffer from the experience. Hes a fantastic talent and seems like a top bloke too

I say it as I see it. He was outstanding, he got Wales' attacking game going and brought more control to proceedings


He was good in the second half as some of the ferocity went out of England's play. He has seemingly finally got over the injury that he either arrived with or acquired soon after arriving. Yesterday's game put our (Scarlets ) midfield under alot of pressure but they didn't break. The benefits of yesterday may well be seen on Good Friday evening. And I will be content with that.
