Not sure on the penalty try, I think the ref just wanted to move play on from the 5 minutes of scrummage, but it wasn't what I'd call a situation that merited a 'probable' try.
Still, last match it was 11-10 to Wales, now 16-16... next year will be a cracker I'm sure.
What? That was nowhere near a good match for us, we played awfully, we made so many stupid mistakes. No disrespect to Fiji but they are a team we should be beating comfortably, not drawing with. I was hoping the players would be up for it tonight, seeing as a few of them were involved in the loss in the world cup, to make amends so to speak, but apparently not. A poor performance, we were lucky to get the draw. However, I am a constant optimist/delusional and I still think we will beat the All Blacks next week, and I have tickets too
Should be a good match anyway.
And in regards to the penalty try, it was definitely warranted. I'm guessing from where you were, you couldn't see, but their prop couldnot handle Adam Jones (I'm quite drunk, it was the prop on this side yes?) at all, kept popping up. So much so that they replaced him to avoid him getting a sin bin. After the 6th time the ref gave the try, fully deserved, too bad Wales were so mediocre everywhere else.
