Howley made a mistake by taking Moriarty off that early.I know that the Welsh game plan involved kicking the ball in field but the players in the pitch should have ignored that and go pen row z with the kick that lead to the England try.Also, what was my fellow Forester, Alex Cuthbert, doing by showing Daly the outside. Cuthbert's not got the pace to do that. He should have funnelled Daly back inside in the hope that cover was coming accross

Touch more precision and we'd have 2-3 more tries, we've butchered 2 when it was easier to score.Finished 0-63 and that flatters the welsh.I missed the u20 game live but I've caught up now, Mercer at 8 was superb again, as were Randall and Umaga an 9 and 10. The 2nd try showed why I think Cokanasiga will be special, he got the ball with very little space and smashed through to make 10 yards and turn them and we just exploited the space.

Anyone see the France Scotland game?What on earth was Russell doing at the conversion, can only imagine he was told time was about to run out after the try by the referee, 90 seconds isn't it?France deserved winners, they managed the second half very well and could and probably should have been awarded another try according to the letter of the law.Another enjoyable and close game, it seems Italy are letting the competition down, are they really as bad as they appear to be? Time to let in Romania in a few years maybe?

Time to let in Romania in a few years maybe?Yes, John, I thought that, too, but after the game they run a timer on it and he still had a good 20 seconds left. He seemed to look at the guy who bought the tee on, so maybe it was him that rushed it.For me, though, why did he even need a tee for that kick?I agree, France deserved it. Can't help but think that with all the Scottish injuries through the game disrupted their play.
