[QUOTE="Raggs, post: 837813, member: 72268"] Unless the ref makes a real howler of an error, I don't see how the better side can lose. They may have played prettier, they may have made less unforced errors, they may have scored more tries, but at the end of the day rugby is won by putting points on the scoreboard, and the better team is the one that puts more points on the board. Whether those points came or were lost through team malfunction or individual error (who's still part of the team), it doesn't matter. You say pointing out that Wales weren't the better side is being poor winners, surely trying to claim Wales were the better side is being a poor loser? I can't argue that the welsh performance was very good, especially in comparison to past games, but they do seem to put a bit more effort in against England (perhaps that's just my England glasses). If they keep that standard of performance however, it's going to put them in good stead for the rest of the comp. [/QUOTE]
