[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 839392, member: 72977"] Actually it is. The Welsh players were allowed to lie around the ruck, stopping the scottish players clearing out and held Scottish players in, which better refs have refused to give penalties for. Yes players can compete, but not if their team is stopping the opposition, which is what Wales were doing. Part of the problem was also Lacey allowing them to do it, but sometimes it was so obvious, that it was an intentional tactic. As for Webb, well complaining when you pull a player back to stop him tackling is pathetic. There is walking a fine line and then cheating intentionally. I felt he could have been given yellow for a cynical foul. In terms of the Phillips comment I will refer to the quick line out against Ireland, that was clearly illegal, and although the touch judge made a clear mistake, Phillips knew it was against the rules to take a quick line out. In terms of Wales not having a plan B...well give me evidence of their variety and ability to change tactics. Again, evidence that Lacey did not have a bad game. In terms of the lions, which other players would you take definitely after that game? [/QUOTE]
