Don't blame Wales. If referee hasn't the bottle to take appropriate action, then why should they change.

Wales can't afford fast flowing game as they would almost certainly lose. They should have conceded penalty try at half time, they should have had at least three yellow cards but referee has allowed them to do as they want. When they win, and they should hold on, the points are all that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Only in a Wales Rugby match would their 4 minutes warning last 30 minutes. If that was a Six Nations game, Wales have 3 players in the sin bin at the sametime. Fiji should rightly feel aggrieved. As another poster said. No one gives a **** about Fiji.

Authorities will simply pat ref on back and move on. Tier 2 countries are distraction for world rugby. Look at countries like Chile. They have played 6 games, or at least I think it's 6 he's, outside of their own country against tier 1 countries in 97 years of having the sport. Scotland played them once but no countries will invite them as they would get share of cash and nobody wants that.

Much as the boks had virtually all of the game yesterday, Townsend was right about accuracy in key moments. It could have led to a couple of tries and out real pressure on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
