    the gobsheen factor has been strong throughout.

    England just fucking butchered two line outs in a row.

    Scrum Wales.

    That is one of the stupidest decisions you'll ever see. Absolutely imbecilic.

    Whoever made that call should be mullered. Idiots. Take the three and then try to attack from the restart. Idiots.

    There is method behind it. Englands lineout had been massive throughout. Fortune favours the brave etc. In fairness, going for 3 points to tie the game wouldn't have been very "World Cup Winners" either.

    You kick the three then you have two minutes to try and get up the field and win the game. If you are four points behind, then fine, kick for touch. Three behind with two to go in a match where a draw gives you the same as the opponent? You kick for goal.

    Yeah you have to think it wasn't the head that made that decision, a draw would have given the an advantage to proceed

    Unbelievably stupid. This is a group format - a point isn't great but the four point swing for losing is too much to risk. Monumentally foolish.

    No guarantee, no, but Farrell had nailed 5/5 before that moment. I'm confident he would have made the kick.

    Some great patter above in 'real' time, as the game progressed.

    OT'K asked me who Ah thought wid win and Ah said England wid, due in large part tae the Welsh injuries prior tae the match. When the Welsh started shipping more injuries ten minutes intae the second half and England ahead on points, Ah thought the dragon was slain. Ah started eating cheese and crackers and allae sudden the Welsh dominated the final half hoor and that wiz that fer the Sais. Even though Ah'd had a few beers, Ah wiz in mild shock at the result.

    Well done tae the Welsh laddies and England have a job tae dae against the Aussies.

    Now we have to listen to weeks of insufferable Taff bullshit.

    My homage to Wales will be to go and get drunk, then fall into the Daffodils and LEEK.

    Agreed, but England were poor.

    Now..........speaking of Lions, and all that Feline stuff, I see the Aussies grinning like spaced-out Cheshire cats in the Studio at half time.

    Ireland have taken an odd risk here. Fielding the oldest team in the tournament so far, bringing in the likes of Bowe, who seems disinterested at best. The flipside of this of course would be that to NOT play an old team would be to unnecessarily risk young players against the the supposed underdogs.

    All is well that ends well I suppose and Ireland finally lead, 3-0.

    Like I said it was lucky, and rightly ruled out.
