Re: England vs Wales
 
Am I alone in thinking that was a harsh decision?

I thought it was down too tbh but understand why it wasn't given.

The 'inexperianced' England team were better. Went down hill from when we changed scrum half and fly half.

It wasn't a harsh decision to sin-bin. England had a clear line to try and he tackled a man without the ball - he knew he would get binned and in the end it was worth it. Unforgivable to England not to take advantage of the extra man.

Thought a couple of refing decisions lost it for England. The knock-on that got Wales all the way up the field (and the ref was heard on mic later saying "I thought it came off his head").

Also that try at the end. IMO the ball was down behind the line when you compare the two angles (one from behind showed it grounded, but is unclear when it's over the line, the one from the front then shows when it is grounded it's behind the line - although you can't see the actual grounding because there is a leg in the way). I can understand why it wasn't given, although IMO it was questionable about whether it was under control when it was grounded.

Odd decision at the end, the TV shows it actually goes down at least once and possibly in the fumbling, twice. Enjoyed it anyway.

The angle from the touchline shows Strettle tackled and landing on the ball before the line. He's then rolled over onto his back, his arm underneath the ball so the ball is not in contact with the ground to be a valid try. George North then rolls the ball back where it does ground outside the in-goal area. That is what it appears to me so I can see why the TMO ruled it to be inconclusive .
