I don't think they allow officials to be of one of the playing nations.<br /><br />Can't see even an English ref being able to confirm a definite try based on the footage...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208440131119204588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698029447738450948.post-6216670041410528622012-02-26T13:02:38.341+00:002012-02-26T13:02:38.341+00:00I don't wanna sound like a bad loser, but as s...I don't wanna sound like a bad loser, but as soon as I heard the video refs welsh accent I knew he wernt gonna give that last try... <br />Good game though!Steve hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698029447738450948.post-22427385217015077512012-02-26T10:06:57.870+00:002012-02-26T10:06:57.870+00:00I missed the game as I was fighting (losing) the B...I missed the game as I was fighting (losing) the Battle of Naseby. Got back home and watched the highlights on the BBC site. What a great result! We played pretty badly but still managed a win - and that never say die attitude holding up the ball on the try line speaks volumes for the team. We'll beat Italy - and just hope the French crumble.Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698029447738450948.post-7793845967373892222012-02-26T09:36:20.495+00:002012-02-26T09:36:20.495+00:00Hi Michael

Whenever it is a 50:50 situation he is on the wrong side of things. A bit like much of Mark Cueto's England career. Both fantastic players just not blessed.<br /><br />The Welsh win was largely a matter of luck given the great defensive play by both sides and reminded me of Scott Gibbs's match winning try at Wembley.<br /><br />Naturally I am happy that we had the luck, but a draw would have been a fair result yesterday.<br /><br />cheers<br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208440131119204588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698029447738450948.post-17186428038551666702012-02-26T09:19:49.525+00:002012-02-26T09:19:49.525+00:00My word, what a match!

Been an Englishman, obviously I felt a try at the end would have given a scoreline that reflected, a little more, the intensity of the game, nonetheless a well deserved Triple Crown to Wales.Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.com
