These final 10 Mins are gonna be good...

 

[Hellmär]

What a great match!!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

whoever won that penalty for wales did not release after he tackled. harsh

 

[ACT1NUP]

GOOOOOOOO WWAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLEEESSSSSSSSSS. Pretty hard kick tho stadium wind swirls like a mo fo

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was never a Welsh penalty - should've been for SA

Warburton (if it was him making the tackle) didn't release the player

 

[Seaton]

There is not a chance in hell that there was daylight in that tackle.

Justice is served

SA doing silly stuff

 

[Getofmeland]

Hook puts the Penalty wide...

This is getting tight...

totally agree. barnes said the tackled player was using his body to protect the ball and not releasing but he couldnt move cos roberts/warburton/whoever didnt release him!

 

[ACT1NUP]

Argh doubt the Welsh can win this game now. Boks too good in this position

 

[Seaton]

Ooooh, last minute Welsh ball

Oooof, pity for Wales

 

[Thingimubob]

**** me we should have f*cking won that.
Is Barnes blind to South African knock ons?

 

[JW.]

Dissapointed that Wales didn't win , but SA just know how to win these games and I couldn't see Wales doing it. Whats all this talk about Warburton being the new M.Williams?? He is so much better. Brussouw in my mind won SA that game he was awesome!

 

[Teh Mite]

That settles that. The [strike]flowers[/strike] boks won't be retaining the cup.

 

[Taylo2]

typical, the one time i want wales to win!

 

[beerholder]

Wales clearly the better team. Refereeing was horrible, Wayne Barnes shows his mediocrity once again. Hook had a good game and he scored ALL the penalties.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Massive shame for Wales - there will undoubtedly be a lot of guff about how Barnes lost the game for them, but thems the breaks - 2 missed dropgoals and 2 missed penalties (or 1 if you don't trust the touchjudges on the earlier on)


Superb end to the first weekend of rugby though




Where are all the people who said Wales were going to get steamrollered?

 

[Draggs]

What the hell was Priestland doing? Kicked away so much ball in SA half. Rubbish DG attempt.
How was Hook's kick not over? Never passed the post.

 

[Thingimubob]

Also Gatland was an idiot for not taking Phillips off. Lost us the ball on more than one occasion due to being a slow idiot, he is not good enough to be the Welsh no.9, but I think he's bumming Gatland for starting places.

 

[racingmetrofan]

Meh. Wales deserved to win that, SA are playing so poorly and boringly I really hope they get a beating against Samoa.

I agree altough he did some good things he just looked like a bad flanker as always. Dwayne Peel. Could have got your backline some time and ignite Williams and North.
