Two very poor yellow card decisions.

Both totally justified

Martin Johnson said in the press this week that England were going to slow the Welsh ball down.

They did so illegally 3 times in the first 10 minutes and were warned that the next time it would be a Yellow card so the 4th time card well done ref.

As for the 2nd card a deliberate professional foul and would even be a yellow card in league.

You're having a giraffe, Dewi.

Aye. But there were lots of inconsistencies.

I personally cannot stand the tw*ts that commentate on the Beeb, but some of what they pointed out were for once accurate. Such as the feeding at the scrums.

Worseley was absolutely fantastic yesterday. It always amazes me when he doesn't play, England look so much better with him on the field.

Worsley did the work of 3. One of the 3 was Tindall, who was abysmal. England were better when he was off the field, and scored a try with 14 men.

I loath Brain Moore and his spitting anger style of commentary. I red-buttoned the game and chose Radio Wales instead.

Did you know that having the forwards take the ball into heavy traffic is 'playing like Rugby League'? According to the welsh commentators it is.

Ah that's his name. Can't stand him one bit. How he gets a job is beyond me.

England are rubbish, the ELV's are rubbish, the referee's are rubbish.

Brian Moore's commentary is therefore spot on.

he's still annoying.

Not as annoying as Guscott.

but both are pretenders to inverdale's crown.

Ah yeah, forgot about that d*ck as well.

He's smugger than a very smug thing from Smugsville.

I think the Italians are really from Iraq - they're Shiite.

shhh!! they're really worthy of a place in the 6 nations and can beat anyone of the other teams on their day!
ive got italy+14 on coupon, but ireland to win the whole thing.

You mean Scotland.

don't disagree with the sunday express, times, telegraph,bbc, sky or rfu!

I've not seen any of the 6 Nations yet - thank f*ck !!!

already a 2 horse race. scotland and italy are available at 500/1.
all the stick about the world cup being a 2 horse race and how union was much more competitive and open.

Not really a fair comparison though is it?

In the Union World Cup anyone of a number of teams could win it. In League it is either NZ or Australia.

really? and who are they? at the last world cup NZ and SA stood out for the bookies and england and the aussies were a bit behind them. after that there was more daylight than a mid summers day in spain!

and how many countries play union compared to league? if you listen to the union propaganda virtually every country plays union in some form or another.
the RLIF has Australia · Cook Islands · England · Fiji · France · New Zealand · Papua New Guinea · Russia · Samoa · South Africa · Tonga as test nations.
the IRB has 18 'top nations' and boasts that the game is played in over 120 more.

whilst the other leagues see a drain of their best players, thus lowering the standards in said leagues.
the french clubs are throwing profane amounts of money at players in the current economic climate and don't seem to be planning for a rainy day or indeed the monsoon that many financial experts are predicting.
what will they do if it all goes 'POP!'?

It means they get more highly paid players, not necessarily that the quality improves. How highly motivated will players like Palmer and Flutey (who are getting towards the tail end of their careers) be if they are on a massive wedge?

The recruitment of SBW by Toulon has hardly improved the quality of the French Top 14 now, has it?
