Didn't think the ref could insist that the Scrum half had to play the ball ay a ruck. Then Walsh is my least favourite ref.

Incredibly England in the lead. This can't last with all the possession Wales have.

Yes, a massive difference to England 's attack. Still, if Wales play a bit more territory, can't see the white wall standing up to the red wave. Still Roberts is off, so maybe all to play for.

Really dramatic game, well done to Wales.

England can take a lot of positives though, they seem to be improving game on game under Lancaster.

Unlucky England but well done Wales!

Surely a case for a penalty try at the end. Collapsed the maul and the second penalty in a minute with 5m. Should have Bern more of a penalty for Wales there.
Thought Lancaster made some off subs, bringing on Youngs was an error.

I love listening to Inverdale after matches like this
"England can only view this as a positive thing"
"Superb" etc.

Ummm why come on a RU discussion board to say that?
+ no-one has said anything extreme.

People get enthused about all sorts of things, and that's a good thing.

Hmm at 12-6, you must have been worried. Still women's rugby now

I've see Wales lose by 20 and more and their supporters have claimed it was a positive result - and that they were robbed.

I just think today has taken this rugby match far to seriously. Wheather it be fans, media etc.

It's only a game. It doesn't matter who won.

No, I just don't understand why everyone gets so fanatical about a rugby fixture.

If you don't understand, then you need to accept. Telling people it's only a game winds then up. Besides, your first post was unsupported by any previous postings people had made.

That was a fine deserved victory for one of the best Welsh sides in years. Admittedly, given the current English line-up's inexperience playing at a higher level, I think they decided to go easy on England somewhat, and to safeguard against any unnecessary injuries.

England have got a few years before they can try to reclaim the mantle of the UK's best rugby team, but there is potential for them to catch up with Wales eventually.

Then perhaps you'd better stop posting in a rugby thread. Simples.

I don't understand why some people play silly games on radio/music forums about song titles which serve no purpose apart from to waste Digital Spy's server space.

None of sport really 'matters'.
But it means a hell of lot to people who follow it, be that Man City fans, Rafa Nadal fans etc etc.

Well done to Wales.

When they beat us in a Football world cup/euro qualifier where the result matters is when I'll be bothered though.

On the contrary - sport can matter a great deal in the right context. Ask the Iraqi or Libyan football teams. Ask the North Korean football team. Ask the South African rugby team, circa 1995. Ask Lance Armstrong, or Oscar Pistorius. Sport can matter very much sometimes.
