just back from the shops.

I knew Sam was red-carded in frst half, what have I missed for Wales to be 2 men down???!!!

[boxtops]

It's on tomorrow same time, too, JJ..........

[Frank97]

C'mon Wales!

[joggerjayne]

I know, Boxy.

Not much interest in tomorrow's game, though.

[kayakamina]

They are one man down. The other player (prop) was an early replcement.

[albaqwerty]

I thought I'd missed another red card.

9-8, I'm still watching it from behind the couch :)

[jno]

heartbroken. Wales were the better team.

[rich47]

I think it a great pity that the TV commentators cannot be impartial.
Not every one watching is a Wales supporter.
Oh for another Bill McClaren he was peerless as a commentator.

[nannybooby]

We will be rooting for the Welsh too

[Philtaz]

Who wasn't impartial, rich47?

Genuine question as I didn't hear any of the commentary in the pub but saw only one team in it!

[rich47]

The SKY TV commentators spoke as if they were Welsh Supporters not commentators at all.
If there was only "one team in it" ... how come they lost?

[joggerjayne]

Anyone who's ever played a team sport know how often the better team can lose.

Like today.

[jno]

the better team need to (a) not tackle dangerously and illegally and (b) land their kicks. Sad but true.

[Philtaz]

So you're saying France played better and were better in all areas and factes of the game, rich47?

Sounds like the commentators called it as they saw it! I don't know who was on the Sky commentary team but they must have been commenting on the same French performance that everyone else saw. They couldn't even dazzle against 14 men for 65 minutes!

As for Rolland, you know you've made a terrible decision when even the England players vent their anger and incredulity at the decision:

[Philtaz]

Facets even......

[Sqad]

A terrible injustice......Wales were robbed.

An Englishman.

[emmie]

sorry but if Wales were the better team why did they lose, i had hoped they would win, as i didn't want France in the final.
