Yellow card

by mystiroakey Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:01 pm

omg robbed of another charge down try!!!

by Gibson Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:01 pm

England starting well. Wooooooooooooooo. Close. Pen!Yellow!

England can really punish them here. Must use this 10 mins well.

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:01 pm

Jeebus another try butchered! Priestland in the bin!

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:01 pm

Yellow for Wales and a penalty in front of the posts. If only Charlie was playing

by GunsGerms Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:02 pm

Heard Mallet is nailed down for England job post 6N but Lancaster seems to have made some great selections. Farrell for example.

No surprise to see a Welsh player get carded.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:02 pm

What the hell is up with Priestland today? Headscratch

Oh well these goes a Welsh grand slam by the look of things... Cry

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:02 pm

come on england!!

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:02 pm

Farrell 4 from 4, but we need to somehow get the try that we've threatened a couple of times, during this sin bin period.

You sound like King Theoden just before they blew up the wall at Helm´s Deep.

Good game though. Nice to see the game live up to the hype. Tuilagi seems to be a timely return for England and Farrell is a kicking machine. Still think he has much to learn about option taking though.

Wales must make their dominance of possession count in the second half. North has made a few mistakes today. Priestland seems to be suffering. Warburton is a tackling machine. All in all, good stuff. May the better team win.

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:02 pm

Right time to keep the powder dry here, England need another score here!

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:03 pm

Darn.. Should have score that.

Now the welsh backs are all over us.

Cynical from Wales btw.

by mystiroakey Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:03 pm

so wales have the excuse if they lose- lol

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:03 pm

Why are people on the BCC STILL saying 7 points for a yellow? Wales are the only side to concede 7 points on average for a yellow. All the others are way below that and some are positive

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:03 pm

What is cole doing? Fiver says England concede a penalty here......

er sorry what dominance is that- did you switch of after 20 mins!!

by WillyGilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:04 pm

Got to say England have been brilliant. They look like a team that's been playing together for years. Wales' favourite tag may have been their undoing.

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:05 pm

The English defence are calling the Welsh attack LOL

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:05 pm

wales look clueless at the minute.

by Gibson Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:06 pm

Wales playing clever with 14 men.

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:06 pm

Way hey England penalty!

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:06 pm

England are calling Walsh now... Fair play to them clap

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:06 pm

well done england, discipline that i havent seen much off!

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:06 pm

Wales playing very clever with 14 men.

And then there's a penalty

by Gibson Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:06 pm

Turnover. They need to use this.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:07 pm

Crucial period that. Eng cliingng on against the provincial giants.

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:07 pm

surely it's a knock on!!!

by WillyGilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:08 pm

Hope everyone can see that. T'is the child with the pint, he's already an internet star.

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:08 pm

The only blight on England so far has to be Ashton.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:08 pm

Mess from eng there. Great defence, Wales soaking up the yellow in a way Scotland could not.

Still very much Wales game,

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:08 pm

nice to hear walsh admit he got it wrong! lol

Was a blatant knock on, not sure how Walsh managed to miss it.

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:08 pm

Feic!

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:09 pm

Ah Wales really on top now. We've bloody thrown it way when a man up, it forced Wales to prove their dominance I guess.

by Gibson Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:09 pm

It was a knockon. Big moment.

by GunsGerms Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:10 pm

Knock on by Davies. Walsh missed that one.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:10 pm

Backs to the wall now for Wales, at least it's nice to see what England can do in decent conditions with a team that allows the opposition to play rugby as well.

keep it up however dont foget there is a cricket game on

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:10 pm

He said he thought it was off the head, which is fair enough. Poopie happens.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:10 pm

Wales getting very lucky, Walsh very poor again.

by GunsGerms Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:11 pm

Not great game from Philips today.

by Gibson Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:11 pm

Go Mysti!

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:11 pm

Stephen Jones has to come on with Llyod Williams.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:12 pm

England kick behind a lot, is that due to the rush defence?

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:12 pm

Honestly Wales are on top now. Ten point win.

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:14 pm

The dream is dead.... Wales are going to pull away here I feel!

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:14 pm

how many times does dickson need to be told to stay onside!!

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:14 pm

by Guest Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:15 pm

12-9 game in the balance, im really enjoying this game Smile

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:15 pm

I'd like to see Priestland off for Stephen Jones now to be honest.
Priestland is having a bad day at the office.

Phillips is having a good game imho.
