Crucial

Ireland getting a bit loose now. Will probably focus for a couple more though

Crucial

Italy playing to the end though and score another
56-19 with 3 to go

Kruse

Gatland's team leaves a massive hole in the back, Hartley's team kick to it, score a try.
Conversion missed.
5-0 Rotorua

Crucial

Wales looking very average at the moment. Leaving plenty of gaps. Lack of incision with the ball.
Offside Itoje doing his usual.
2 tries to the team coached by a fluffybunny, none to the team coached by the other fluffybunny

Kruse

2nd try for May
12-0

Crucial

How was that not a try?

Kruse

@crucial Some sort of "agreement"?

Kruse

I've picked up a weirdly specific strain of Tourette's.
Whenever Mike Brown appears on screen, I say "fluffybunny".

Crucial

Wales haven't realised that the French interpretation of offside is a metre different.

Kruse

Captains having a chat

Kruse

Hartley's clinging to his roots, black singlet on.

I thought it was a sports bra.

Bones

Holy shit. Shingler you egg. Will take a fair bit to see a dumber piece of play this year.

Kruse

Gatland dives for tryline a metre early, fucks up an unfuckup-able try.

Kruse

Wales looking like Indian bookies have taken an interest in rugby.
And the Welsh players have a few teenage pregnancies to pay for.

Crucial

Tedious second half. England parked the bus at halftime

Kruse

All over, pair of tries trumps pair of penalties.

A dodgy Kiwi TMO.

I think England deserved the win but Wales were unlucky with the Anscombe no-try and then Williams was denied by excellent defence.

Speaking of Anscombe, Wales looked better on attack when he moved to 1st 5.

Agree about Anscombe which is surprising as his biggest issue in NZ was standing off and stifling attack.
I just don't get what pictures the TMO was watching or what odd interpretation he was using. Maybe he had been watching the 10s?
Anscombes hand came down on the ball first and the ball hand and ground were all connected.

Bones

Yeah that TMO call was odd, I saw the first replay and said try so headed off to the kitchen for supplies. Come back and he's saying the defending player got there first?

Anyway, how frustratingly shit was Wales ability to finish or even at least just have some continuity after breaking the line? Seemed every time they broke, the player had no idea what to do so would usually just take the tackle.. Unless they went all genius and put in a grubber to no-one, stopped and fell on the ground instead of diving at the line, or just plain dropped the ball.

England should have dicked them.
