Great start to the second half by Wales was almost an incredible one!

Wow! Hollie D is very brave. No male ref would have changed their mind there, even if she initially got the decision wrong.

 

[Pross]

Good refereeing that, I was a bit surprised she gave it initially without the TMO but brave to overrule herself.

 

[Pross]

Need to sort out the tackling, it’s costing us the game.

 

[Pross]

Well that and Murray’s decision making

 

[Pross]

Thomas has been a terrible substitution

Much closer than I thought it would be. Some good tries, Wales need to score next to keep in the contest.

Fatigue has really set in for Wales, they've had to make so many tackles - it was averaging 3 a minute at 50 miuntes!
Could get ugly on the scoreboard now

Yeah, in the end when you have to make that many tackles you’re eventually going to tire, miss a few and give away cards. Brave effort but they needed more possession to take the pressure off. Too passive at the breakdown. Stuff to be positive about though, 4 tries against the All Blacks.

Tough call on who I want to lose most in the next match. The two teams I can’t stand at present.

Improved from Wales, ABs pack tired at end of long season. Some good scores from both teams and HD had a good game.

Ha! I’m going with the Irish, SA are a level or two above anyone else so ill be cheering for the underdogs.

Most importantly, Bath's kids beat Sale 20-0 in the Prem Cup!

Now can Ireland give the saffas a proper test?

I’m erring towards wanting an Ireland win. The Saffa fans get on my nerves, any rugby discussion online seems to end up with them popping up to tell everyone the Bols are better

“great game between England and France, superb try by Du Pont”

“the Boks would have hammered both of them and Joost was much better than Du Pont is”

Wales made 228 tackles today!
