[QUOTE="Melhor Time, post: 288820"] Well, all of the Welsh tries should not have been tries. The first is debateable as it did look like a kick had been called. Whether it had or not is no excuse for Argentina turning their backs. A 50/50 call, I'll give it that. The second was clearly a bad call from the ref, who did quite a lot to help Wales intentionally or not in this match. He gave too many 50/50 calls to Wales, penalties at the scrums, and the breakdowns being clear examples. So, the second try was scored based on Wyn Jones charging down the kick from an offside position. Wales scored when it should have been a penalty to Argentina. How did the ref and touch judge miss Wyn Jones's blatant offside position? Poor refereeing. See the below video at 1:13. As the Spanish commentary says ''[u]clearly a penalty to Argentina[/u]'' As good as Shane WIlliams is that was not a try. WIll Paddy O'Brien appologise to Argentina? The third was after Wales got the ball from a kick on by Lobbe who was tackled late. Again, it should have been a penalty to Argentina. Again, Shane Williams is a fantastic player but this was not a try. It was a penalty to Argentina. See the video at 2:04. No arguments can be made I'm afraid Wales. It was illegal. Did Rees use arms in the late tackle btw? Les say Wales scored the first try fairly, so thats 14 points (2 tries) Wales scored illegally. Final score therefore should be Wales 19-16 Argentina.
