"Well well well. Who’d have thunk that eh? Didn’t pick France or England for the wins. But France were lucky I almost had some sympathy for the Welsh that decision was so bad " Should have heard the crowd. The French all around us were completely silent with both decisions, they knew too... But it's rugby. Need some refs to use the TMO more when it's questioned. TMO should have clock and stop/start when game is really in play so wasting 2- mins each time before a scrum/line outs are assembled. | |||

Pivac has a long list of them " The decision the the penalty try that would’ve changed the result i think. I’d be a salty supporter this week if it’d happened to my team. Terrible decision - almost as bad as the late tackle on May but the game was done by then so it was laughable. | |||

I’m sure had it been an illegal /dangerous no arms shoulder tackle there would also have been great consternation . | |||

" If you look closely, his head was pointed at Owens right shoulder, so unless he was looking at the ball out of the corner of his eyes, no way was he looking at the ball, plus his arm didn't change direction, kept the same arc in his swing. Also, the winger was already a yard or so in front of Owens, so no chance of a legal try anyway, therefore no penalty try! Let's also not forget that Biggar's "try" wasn't grounded! | |||

I work in the travel industry and on a day to day basis people are becoming more and more cautious. Italians are being advised not to travel and I think many will vote with their feet. Could be a game with no crowd? | |||

" Great list - totally agree. Accept if also add Gavin Henson. I like the haters of chippy 9’s. Someone I know said they hated Faff de whatever his name is from SA. For a scrum half this is bestowing honour. In all my days playing I wanted to be the guy every forward wanted to rip the head off. If I came off the field not having got under the skin of the opposition I’d not played my part. Rugby players I have little Hate for. But there’s so many Australian cricketers who’s faces just scream for a Smack | |||

" Must have seen a different game then. Adams wasnt in front of Owens & the tackling arm (especially from behind) was swung strangely outwards for it to be a tackle. It was cleverly disguised but not for the first time this tournament Wales have been done by some poor officiating! That said, we didnt deserve to win against Ireland or France, but at least we can see what we’re trying to achieve | |||

But, yeah England did put on a great performance... It’s sad really, but every team has to go through the cycle of bringing new players in - it’s just an adjustment period. In my office predictions I actually had England winning the 6 nations - I just don’t think Ireland could bring it during this one... First year I didn’t get tickets for any Ireland game too, I guess I knew it wasn’t going to be a win... | |||

The difference between Ireland, Wales & France is that Ireland & Wales are trying to build from long set platforms, so changing tendancies takes a while, France have started from scratch so they dont have to overcome the notions of old habits etc | |||

"i think what the ireland game proved is when your "superstar" is having a bad day... there isn't enough around him to cover that up! i think that is where they really missed a "rory best" on sunday, where i think he would have said to the forwards "right!!!! up the jumper time!!"..... the best thing that happened to france is wales not appointing shaun edwards... he is basically taken the "flaky-ness" out of the french (for now) but still need to see if this last (so next season will be the test for me)" Johnny has definitely proved he’s not captain material. | |||

Surely better for it to be postponed, than it being played behind closed doors. Also, this would be consistent with the status of the Ireland Italy match | |||

Not sure I said favour but life hits curve balls to everyone. Millions of self employed people could soon find themselves up the creek with no paddle if this virus spreads exponentially soon. The government isn't going to help anyone other than those working for them. So to answer your question. If one or two matches puts then against the wall then their financial system needs a very close scrutiny. Or if you bought tickets then give them up to help. | |||

"To put things in perspective, Matthew Watkins the former Wales and Scarlets died today after a long, courageous battle against cancer (aged 41). He was incredibly well thought of in Llanelli (and everywhere, I’m sure). A lot of the squad were good friends with him and a few have been tweeting about it. Must be a very tough day for them. " Yes they announced that at half time in the ladies game, RIP Matthew Watkins | |||
