England V Wales - 29th May

[Bada-Bing!]

At last Ford converts.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Gone on Greenwood have him.

 

[ratsapprentice]

A fumble is not the same as a knock on.

 

[Which Tyler]

Mitrea and the TMO can NEVER ref a game again. That's actually awful. I can't believe how terrible that call is.

What was wrong with it?
Evidence was obstructed; but from all we could see the ball does hit Cole's hand - and goes backwards - which is allowed to happen.

Obvious knock on. Very harsh on Wales.

Knock ons are supposed to go forwards - which it clearly didn't

 

[Hulkster]

Am I missing something?

Cole's hand was stretched out in front of him and the ball landed behind his feet.

It couldn't be more obviously backwards.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I don't really understand the physics of it, but it did seem to go backwards...

 

[Maverick1987]

Can someone get Nigel Owen on the field ? We need someone to remind Dan Biggar where the football stadium is .......

I'm very impressed that Scott Williams couldn't catch Clifford though . Serious pace for a back row

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It doesn't touch the welsh player IMO.

Did we just do a backs move of a set piece?

 

[Patchey]

Why did Hask just lie in the ruck there like a beached whale?

 

[Crapspray]

Why did Hask just lie in the ruck there like a beached whale?

He was holding the ball in with his thighs to stop Ball turning it over. Hence why he got pinged.

 

[Patchey]

That was a lively few phases.

Gottcha.

 

[welshglory]

Moriarty looking really physical. Liking the look of him ahead of Lydiate.

 

[ncurd]

Greenwood totally right it goes backwards...not sure how you can say otherwise.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Harrison for England 9

 

[Crapspray]

Gottcha.

I only noticed it because it seemed unusually clever for Haskell. Until he got penalised...

 

[Patchey]

Care on, suddenly Harrison playing 9. What?

Yarde is limping in the far side.

Cackling.

 

[welshglory]

Lineout move boys. Probably using Care as a first receiver

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Clifford has played very well at 8.

 

[welshglory]

Jesus christ Liam Williams was free on the left wing

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yes Yarde
