Quite pleased that Wales won, although that game could have gone either way. Great fun to watch though.
Lots of time wasted, players stand around freezing their balls off, everyone gets bored and in the end we have a decision that people end up disagreeing about.
Reminds me of the 2007 world cup final; ref asked for video pictures after Cueto went in at the corner and the touch judge had not raised his flag, TMO spends bloody ages fannying about with unclear pictures and the debate still goes on; one photo looks like it was a try, another looks like it wasn't.
Get rid of this TMO tosh and let refs take decisions for themselves. Sure, they'll make mistakes sometimes, just as players do. Live with it; it's a game.
Perhaps the video ref can be used for disciplinary issues instead and then finally the much more serious issue of tip tackling and spear tackling can be removed from the game.

Originally posted by malvolio View PostThe rule is "downward pressure", not how much. Something stopped the ball moving and the only thing touching it was the player's hand. So personally I would have awarded it. The video ref didn't so that's the end of it.
However neither side impressed me in the slightest. Losing a match with the possesion and territorial advantage the Scots had is unforgiveable, especially against a team as ill-prepared and panicky as England were. Of the four teams I've seen so far, only France look capable of playing a coherent game. Let's see how it goes this afternoon, but while I suspect Ireland will be missing the two-man team they've played behind for so long, some of the other guys will take the chance to shine.
Although I really hope the Welsh carry on where they left off. If they do, on the evidence so far, they will be difficult to stop. I'll miss the final Wales/France game 'cos I'll be in NZ, but I'm betting that will be for the championship.

Fortunately I missed it and was able to watch the recording. Armed with the fast forward button it was all over in 10 minutes.

It wasn't controlled and was there actually any Scottish contact with the ball when it went to ground?
We need to work on some of areas but overall encouraging for a new team
NEXT!
