Well we won and on the face of it an improved performance, especially defensively. However, another ton of penalties and the most stupid yellow card. And we only won on a charge down. I know I should just enjoy the win but it's not filling me with confidence. I like Rees-Zammit at full back, gives him more chance to run with the ball than on the wing.
France v SA was very entertaining! I didn't think France should have had a red though, Dupont had his eyes on the ball all the way and Kolbe leapt up. Totally accidental, yellow at most.
I agree red in the current environment but how does he owe a duty of care? He didn't even see Kolbe, he was 100% focussed on catching the ball. So if Dupont had jumped and they collided that's ok? Personally I thought it was mitigating circumstances
“In contact sports, such as football or rugby, all participants owe a duty of care to one another. In order to show a breach of that duty, conduct must be reckless and fall below the standard required of a reasonably skilful and competent professional player.” Seems that Wayne Barnes - who is a Barrister - deemed the challenge reckless….. I understand your view/opinion and in my view, DuPont’s challenge was nowhere near as dangerous as PSDT’s
Jocks v ABs was very entertaining as well. I can't help but worry that Wales may be going in to the Six Nations as wooden spoon favourites
I'd have preferred to see some common sense applied but I suppose it's better to have a blanket rule than one where different refs have differing opinions and we end up with inconsistency.
Well Italy have seemingly turned a corner and the Jocks weren't embarrassed by the ABs... so us - Wales!
I can only hope it's another case of we are well off the pace in the autumn internationals but step up for the 6 nations. If we don't we could well finish bottom of the heap!
Deserved win for Georgia. Things must be bad for Sam Warburton to openly criticise WRU governence and the coaching team on live telly. Unacceptable was the word used many times. If Pivac stays we will be embarrassed in the six nations and the world cup. That performance was inept and totally rudderless.
