[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 560166, member: 67273"] I'd wager that Rowntree knows a little bit more tbh. I still don't understand where people are getting the sour grapes angle from. This is in all likelihood a fairly inconsequential series of events that probably should have been kept private, but it's hardly a travesty that they have been made known to us. He's also talking about the scrum, but not actually making any points. He's just analysing Walsh's communication with the England FR. If anything he is agreeing with Rowntree... The second example looks to me like Wales collapse it. England win the hit and are going forward, Wales' heads drop and the scrum collapses, Jones is blatantly pulling Mako's arm down. In all fairness, that is very good scrummaging from the Welsh in the context of the modern game. The ref has already made his mind up, so they may as well collapse it straight away. Again though, a lot of people seem to have interpreted the situation as the England management thinking that they would have won the match had it not been for a couple of scrum decisions. [/QUOTE]
