    A penalty try COULDN'T be awarded. Unfortunately to award a penalty try the ref has to be certain a try would've been scored. Wales kept collapsing early before that was the case. He could've dished out more yellow cards, but then Wales would've said the subs were injured and it would've meant uncontested scrums which would've negated France's advantage. The ref was excellent, it was just one of those crazy situations and maybe France made a couple of rash decisions and could've won it sooner.
    The bite thing was interesting as well.
    You could hear the ref clearly say that there was a bite mark, but because the video was inconclusive, he couldn't take any action.
    I thought it was all intriguing.

    The whole France prop replacement thing was suspicious too. 20 minutes of overtime? Don't mind the result tho.

    Hmm.

    I hate to say it, but I agree.

    Away wins are few and far between, and England are very strong with great depth of talent.

    England by 10 today ...... but we will still be glorious

    Stop being a pessimist and a realist, the Welsh are normally more delusional.

    That was close. Nearly came back there.

    Really good game.... I thought the disallowed try at a crucial time was really a try, and we had the better of the second half. We could have won, but we weren't clinical enough.

    Well played England, they were excellent . See you next year
