Sorry are you saying that England got to two world cup finals because the ref's were instructed to go easy on them to narrow the gap?
England have been to three World Cup Finals (1991, 2003, 2007), not two.
Wales - the so-called best team in the Northern Hemisphere - have been to a Grand Total of zero.
Many people on this thread also seem to have forgotten that the highest ranked European team in the world at the moment are..... England. Wales are ranked two places below England.
