Should be way too strong for the French next week.

What a bollocks sending off.

I think that the "tabloid" ITV commentators have built up the controversy of that decision in order to increase the game's drama and get people talking.  It looked a yellow to me, so yellow to red isn't such a great leap.

Except that the IRB has given specific instuction that spear tackles are a red card offense. Basically most of the pundits are stating that it killed the game and was a bog decision in such a high profile match. For me the rules should be applied regardless of which game it is and when it happens in the game. Warburton was a prat for doing this and even giving the referee the chance to make the decision.

Sounds like the Welsh put up a good fight!

Didn't watch and don't know the score. I will have a nose in the morning though.

France walked at the Haka, interesting!

I thought that was great ! Took all the attention away from the haka.

[PaulWinch again]

I like the fact they took up the challenge. But they're in trouble.

Is Richie McCaw invisible to officials when he makes late tackles.........

[PaulWinch again]

France have gone over!

The Ref clearly missed class on the day that "high tackles" were being dealt with.
