Damn, I'd almost completed a 1,700 character response to this thread and have hit the wrong button, which has resulted in it being lost in the ether!

As alcohol is now taking effect, I'll summarise. We were good and dominated first half yet went in down on scores. Never gave up hope though, missed a few kicks (8 points by Rhys P), expected another World Cup semi final outcome as a result, Brad Davies was idiotic in the extreme and deserved a straight red, nothing less.
Ferris unlucky to be pinged for that tackle, looked legit to me, not a pen and never a yellow card but I'll take a potential game winning 3 points from an Englishman (Barnes) all day long.
Leigh kept his nerve and IMHO we now become Grand Slam faves.
Ireland wanted revenge, which is a dish best served cold. In light of that for tea I'll have leek soup to start, a Welsh lamb oggie for main course and Welsh cakes for dessert, washed down with a pint of Guinness bitter (I don't drink bitter, I just said that for irony).

Oh, by the way.......




MWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

hi alba - as i said look out for the men in red.

[owdhamer]

Great game

[Noraq]

Ooooooooh the pain!!!! =(

[lady-janine]

never mind nora. the men in red will probably not win again for a bit and the men in green will. life evens itself out. good match though. at half time i was only peeking at the screen. hand my hands over my face and was just peeking through fingers. in agony i was. so much agony.

[murraymints]

Great match !!! does it really matter who wins when such a performance is produced..??? Well done to all....

much much better than the Saturday matches. Wales should have won by miles after their efforts in the first half, but they were having trouble finishing. In the end they were lucky Davies wasn't sent off for weeks (can they still review this and punish him more or is that it once he's got a yellow?); but as he only returned for the last four minutes I doubt it made a difference.

[Philtaz]

Bradley Davies has just been given a 7 week ban. That's lenient IMHO, it should have been 3 months. Be a travesty if Ferris gets more than a week, deserves to be found not guilty.

[albaqwerty]

Is this the incident where he dropped the opponent? That was a nasty thing to do.
I watch it but have no idea about names or positions etc etc

[Philtaz]

Yes alba, THAT incident. As I say, he can count himself lucky he wasn't banned for the rest of the season, it was worthy of such a ban.

[albaqwerty]

I imght be completely stupid about rules in lots of sportss, but that is such a no-no and is a red card and banned for a lot of forthcoming games seems right.
He could have killed the guy.

[Philtaz]

Ferris was cleared and justifiably so too.
