[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 640350, member: 20956"] That was a weird game if I remember right, ref annoyed me in particular, seemed very inconsistent. From what I remember, one of those disallowed tries was because Wales kicked through while having a penalty advantage and it bounced off a Canadian player straight into Andrew Bishop's hands to put him through. but the ref called it back for the penalty, because it touched the Canadian? I might be wrong, but remember being rather annoyed by something like that. EDIT: Just had a skim through of the match on youtube, remember now why the ref annoyed me. Loved to slow the game down to go have a chat with the captains/penalised players, but then was too lenient with dishing out the cards. Canadians definitely very lucky not to get more than the one yellow card! Forgot how good those two Canadian tries were too, lovely skills with ball in hand. Also I was indeed correct, ref blew up far far too early to go back to the penalty and denied Wales a try. The Wales squad is a funny one looking back, a mixture of the stars of today when they were younger, a few squad players from past and present, a few old heads, and the odd player who makes you think "Wow, he actually played for Wales?!". Think this was the only time I thought Tom James played half decent in a Welsh shirt. [/QUOTE]
