Kick over. Wales 24 England 14

[sparky]

Farrell with a penalty. 24-17 with 27 minutes to go.

[sparky]

Sorry to bang on about this, but the ref is atrocious.

@sparky said in NH International Rugby:

who are clearly sub-Test level for important internationals?

Thing is, they're typically not bad, but the way they make calamitous calls makes it appear they're on the take! Both those tries with absurd calls just ignoring reality.

[Bones]

Youngs is having a brilliant 6n.

[sparky]

Ben Youngs in for England. Wales defence is struggling when England up the tempo. 24-22

[sparky]

24-24 with 18 minutes to go.

[sparky]

Itoje penalised four times now for offside. Time for a card?

[sparky]

Sheedy with the kick. Over. 27-24 to Wales with 14 minutes to play.

[sparky]

Another soft penalty by England when they had possession. Sheedy with another shot at goal over. Wales 30 England 24 with ten minutes to go.

[sparky]

Faletau has been excellent for Wales, strong work rate.

[sparky]

That penalty against Robson looked harsh.

[Bones]

England discipline is shithouse. Robson and that mullet lock have given away crucial penalties that are as dumb as you'll ever see

[sparky]

Sheedy with another shot at goal. Over again. 33-24 with 5 and a half minutes to play.

[Bones]

Imagine what Wales would do to the ABs.

[sparky]

Rees-Zammit is no Beauden Barrett. BB still the king of the footrace. R-Z should have scored that given his pace.

[sparky]

Two minutes to go. Wales with the ball 5m out.

[sparky]

Taulupe Faletau named Man of the Match. He has done well.

[sparky]

Cory Hill in to seal the victory for Wales. 38-24.

Yes, the ref has been poor but England have been shite.

[sparky]

40-24. Bonus point win for Wales.
