I admire your patriotism fella but the best team did win. The Welsh didn't win by that margin because of the ref, it's because they were the better side imo.

No chance I can agree with that you can’t honestly say overall the Welsh player better rugby. They held their disciple better but that’s it and far easier to do that against a team chasing a win. As for my patriotism my mums Welsh so I could win either way haha.
That aside I watched the Italy game prior Jesus wept they are poor given the few strides Italian rugby has made vs the Argies when are the rfu going to give that up as a bad job and throw them out and let someone else in who actually has a passion for the game.
It was rather obvious.

Not really she’s from Myrthr Tidfyl or however you spell it which imho is the absolute a hole of Wales. Went once and it was like going back to lord of the rings. Of course she did the sensible thing and moved to Blackpool. Forever doomed

The ref was the worst I’ve seen for a while. Nigel Owens went on record this morning to say Wales’ first two tries were wrong.
Wales played solidly, and I thought their speed to the breakdown in defence was awesome. Plenty of turnover. The English looked sharper in attack than we’ve seen them for a while. What should have been a very good close game was ruined by atrocious refereeing.

I thought that try was dodgy too. Don’t like players jumping into tackles which seems on the increase recentlyNIgel Owens also said that England’s try where Johnny May jumped to score a try against Italy shouldn’t have been allowed but you had it and didn’t make a song and dance about it.
The Refs decision is final.
Come on Gents own it you lost
I honestly couldn’t have called yesterday’s game as to who was the better side. Wales’ turnovers and general quick reactions to opportunities vs Eng very threatening with ball in hand but less disciplined. Just not as poorly disciplined as M. Look-at-me-I’ve-Got-a-Whistle-and-I-Like-to-Blow-It made them look. But then, I’ve generally got a bee in my bonnet about whistle-happy refs. They ruin games.

I was always taught the the refs words (good or bad) were final and never to argue with them, unlike a certain captain yesterday.

Incidentally, I’m happy for England to lose every game they start on their knees.

The Ireland v Italy result was no surprise! As for the England v Wales game, I believe that the better team won on the day but the ref should not be allowed to officiate over another game, some of his decisions were terrible!

Agree the ref spoilt potentially a cracker of a game but lack of English discipline cost them the match.
On a separate note what is clear is that the Saracen players are affected by not playing top flight rugby. Even Itoje was lucky not to be sin binned. The championship is lost for England and now is the time to bring in some different players. Dombrandt and Smith from Quinn’s and Skinner from Exeter would be my first start.
England need to 'get off its knees' and start playing rugby again
