Watched England destroy Ireland for the first 15 minutes and almost got worried but the next 65 minutes showed it was Ireland under performing and not anything England did to give that impression.
Was quietly optimistic after the game until ... two of our biggest assets got stretchered off both on oxygen during our waste of time game against Italy.
All down to the money grabbing arseholes at the WRU imo. We don't need "warm up" games before the six nations and we only picked a proper team in one out of three of these friendly games and end up losing one and possibly two of our key players.
Really peed off.

Surely not, you must be wrong I had assumed from the posts of the Rugby experts here that England played badly and still strolled to a thumping win.
Please clarify. I am sure we will all be fascinated to know.

I'm nothing if not an educator - please,let me take you back to a rugby world cup in a galaxy not too far away - and not too long ago - the RWC before last.
Gareth Jenkins was the man in charge of a team that the welsh could really get behind, And boy did they get behind, particularly in their 'match' against Fiji - where the south sea islanders put 38 points past them.
The full story is told in excrutiating detail here.

Yes - important not to crow about past wins of world championships such as the rugby world cup or the soccer world cup.
Dil is also a subscriber to this view of gentlemanly acceptance of world sporting domination. After all, I've never heard him boast about Lynne Davies' 1966 Olympic long jump gold medal for Wales. Which, after all, was the very pinnacle of welsh sporting achievement - unless, of course, you include Terry Griffiths in the snooker.

At one time England were 22-12 ahead and then 25-18 and they end up losing to Wales, 25-28.
Well done, Wales!
The kicking was proceeding so superbly from both sides, that you just have to say the losing team, England, gave away far too many penalties.

On reflection a nice win but if England beat Australia then those two teams will qualify from the group and Wales will miss out imo.
I fear that Saturday was about as good as it's going to get for Wales given the escalating injury unless the Aussies can do us a favour.
... and hope as much as you like but we will beat Fiji Thursday and probably quite comfortably.

All joking aside I'm glad you lost because if they had to win against us next week I didn't fancy our chances.
The real reason you didn't make the quarters was the diabolical way the draw was made 3 years before the event happened and ranking Wales 9th in the world behind teams like Scotland , Argentina etc , etc.
Don't know what the current rankings are but we probably had 3 of the top 5 teams on current form in our group and you can bet your life on it this scenario won't happen again.
Only downside to England losing is Lancaster will be sacked by Monday and the rest of the World was hoping he had got the job in perpetuity.

the question then arises as to whether or not players who play overseas should be allowed back into the squad
i fully understand the logic behind not allowing, though it is almost unquestionable that the squad is thereby weakened

Wales lost in the group stages in 2007 , sacked the manager and won the Grand Slam a few months later.
It's the English coach who is useless and not the majority of players (burgess and barrit are).
Get a new one now and start picking your French exiles again and all will look a lot rosier.
Good luck against Uruguay Saturday :)

Lancaster clutching at straws here ...
Lancaster, who described the head coach's job as "brilliant but tough", said injuries and "discipline issues" also affected England's preparations for the tournament.
Centre Manu Tuilagi was suspended by England for assaulting police officers, while hooker Dylan Hartley was withdrawn from the squad after being banned for headbutting an opponent in a Premiership game for Northampton.
Lancaster also blamed the absence of several players on the tour of New Zealand in 2014, when "half the squad was in the Premiership final".
We lost two British Lions in Leigh Halfpenny and Jonathon Davies plus last years Pro 12 player of the year Rhys Webb before the tournament began.
While still seven points behind we had an outside half playing full back , a winger playing centre and a scrum half on the wing.
But you only lost because two thugs were suspended and a few players missed a friendly or two 12 months ago !
Bless him , he's lost the plot ... sack him and fast.

ExecLine

well, the crowd were throwing bottles at him but they couldn't see to aim properly through their tears of despair.
Scotland led Australia 34-32 with two minutes to go when Joubert ruled Jon Welsh was deliberately offside, awarding a penalty that Bernard Foley kicked to earn the Wallabies a place in the last four.
However, replays suggested Australia's Nick Phipps touched the ball back to Welsh and Joubert could have awarded a scrum rather than a penalty.
Scotland coach Vern Cotter and captain Greig Laidlaw believe Joubert should have consulted the television match official, although tournament regulations only allow the officials to use video replays to rule on foul play, or whether tries and kicks at goal are legitimate.
Here's a clip of added explanation about some of what you might not yet know about:
The ref' sprinted off the field at the close of play. Perhaps it was actually a 'bottling out'?

If you go back a minute or two, before the said "infringement", there was what I think a deliberate shoulder charge late tackle on the Scottish full-back after he made his kick.
It would have been a sending off offence.
That incensed the Scots crowd and started the booing.
I thought the linesman would have drawn attention to the deliberate foul.
C'est la vie!

When I posted I hadn't looked at or listened to the video you posted.

As far as the referee is concerned, he has to act on what he saw.
If he was blind spotted, it is a pity.
I thought his management of the game as a whole was good, as has the refereeing in the other games I watched.
Escaping from the field as he did seems wise, rather than sticking around and inflaming the crowd to other "daftness".
It is only a game!
Perhaps, he could have walked instead of "running".
Perhaps, he wanted a pee, like I did.

Are you known for your biting sense of humor? Would your friends call you caustic? Is irony the highest form of verbal art (in your humble opinion)? Then you can also be considered something else besides “sarcastic”: intelligent.
A study out of Harvard Business School finds that sarcasm is the “highest form of intelligence.” The study’s authors delved into “the cognitive experiences of sarcastic expressers and recipients or their behavioral implications” to test and see if sarcasm is a mode of higher thinking.
In two studies, they found that the sassy among us were causing more conflict, but were also demonstrating “enhanced creativity” after following a mock sarcastic conversation or recalling a sarcastic exchange.
In a third study, they found that sarcasm enhanced creativity in the form of abstract thinking. You’ve got to work hard for those jokes, folks. And in a fourth study, they discovered “when participants expressed sarcasm toward or received sarcasm from a trusted other, creativity increased but conflict did not.” Which is fascinating because it implies that you might not be mad at the jokes cracked by the most sharp witted person in the office if you already like that person.
What’s even more interesting, is that our ability to detect sarcasm also says something about our IQ. According to The Smithsonian, “Studies have shown that exposure to sarcasm enhances creative problem solving.” They also found that the brain works even better when it gets sarcasm: “Scientists who have monitored the electrical activity of the brains of test subjects exposed to sarcastic statements have found that brains have to work harder to understand sarcasm.”
So, our suggestion is not to flee from the most sarcastic person in your work life. They may be good for your brain and enhancing your creativity!
