by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:40 pm

C'mon boys one last effort, 14 seconds and you have a triple crown.

by WillyGilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:40 pm

Definite try. Big conversion coming up.

by Geordie Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:40 pm

by Gibson Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:41 pm

No TRY?

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:41 pm

Aw this is sickening Cry

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:41 pm

Doh.. Even if scored that's too far out with our best kicker off I fear.

by mystiroakey Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:42 pm

ok i am biased- but i think if i wasnt this game deserves a draw

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:42 pm

Try there! Can Flood kick the conversion though?!

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:42 pm

Agreed.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:42 pm

From one angle it looks like a try, then from the other side not.

This is a real tough call.

I think that's a try looking at the camera on the dead ball line.

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:42 pm

to be honest, this is a 50 50 call

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:42 pm

No Try!!!!!

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:43 pm

Walsh.. You Bar Steward.

by mystiroakey Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:43 pm

well done england- well done wales- gutted- thought we were deffo as good!! great game

by IanBru Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:43 pm

I think 606 just exploded.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

Yes..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rorke's Drift!!!!!!!!!! Yahoo

by **Notch** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

God I wish that try was awarded. Neither side deserved to lose that game. Classic Six Nations.

by Geordie Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

Well dones Wales...

England naivety and Steve Walsh stopped us winning it!

by WillyGilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

Gosh England unlucky there. I thought that was down.

by Casartelli Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

We were rubbish and we won at Twickenham. Despite Priestland.

Warbs and Lydiate were magnificent.

by miteyironpaw Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

1. That was a try
2. England had an advantage during th phase
3. George north threw the ball into touch

Another refereeing balls up hands another game to Wales.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

I guess eng have had their undeserved wins but I a so proud of an England team that were written off as being pathetic and that fought their hearts out.

Not quite good enough but did not deserve to lose.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:44 pm

No gloating from me England were fantastic today to be fair and were unlucky to lose that game.

Well done Wales, you did the country proud.

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:45 pm

Shoite, as an Irishman, i dont want to play England.....

What a performance by them clap

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:45 pm

Yup what happened to the advantage? That ref is is a shambles.

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:45 pm

how come Walsh didn't come back to the penalty advantage England had?!?!?!?! rubbish refereeing...

had to be one

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:46 pm

I dont like saying this but England lost the game more than Wales won.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:46 pm

Well England will get instant revenge now by putting our womens team to the sword.

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:46 pm

Doesn't matter Geordie Ireland and England threw the kitchen sink at Wales and couldn't quite pip them.

Wales had the rub of the green in both games but for me Wales are the best now and good for their triple crown.

Great game! Good effort by England but its Wales day again guinness

by Cymroglan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:46 pm

Well played England you have the making of a good side there.

Wales did what was needed they got the win.

by niwatts Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:46 pm

The bench ruined that for England.

Congratulations to Wales for the win.

by TycroesOsprey Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:47 pm

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:48 pm

still don't get how it can be "advantage over" when a team doesn't even make two meters...

by Geordie Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:49 pm

Completely agree....our bench is appalling...Youngs and Stevens need to be slingshot straight back to their clubs

by mystiroakey Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:49 pm

just gonna take the positve from that game- we didnt win but we played well,

by Casartelli Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:49 pm

Warbs and Lydiate were magnificent..

by king_carlos Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:50 pm

Great game, both sides played well in parts.

Warburton,Halfpenny,Farrell all outstanding.

Tuilagi surprisingly quiet in second half but excellent in first.

Walsh was poor but wrong and right decision went to either side. Overall classic Six Nations but obviously disappointed as an England fan!

by Artful_Dodger Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:50 pm

Congratulations to Wales - Ireland put more than 30 on Italy, cant see the Italians bothering this Welsh team, all eyes on the France game, could be another slam for Wales.

by Duty281 Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:50 pm

I think, on balance, Wales deserved that but when that try wasn't awarded didn't England have an advantage coming up? Enjoy your Triple Crown and your probably title Wales.

by Gibson Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:51 pm

Well played Wales. Just had that edge. Sam Warburton is just brilliant. Top geezer too.

England should be proud of themselves. Just lost it with a lack of nous in the end. They will learn from that. Great side.

The game could have gone either way. England missed chances too.

Great game right to the last second.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:51 pm

It's great to see the lads celebrating to be honest.
Wales's confidence will sky rocket now, it always does after an England win.

Italy could be in real trouble now.

by Effervescing Elephant Sat 25 Feb 2012, 5:51 pm

Niwatts, could not agree more. Youngs and Lawes were both shoite. Effin' brilliant game though, could have gone either way. Well done Wales. On a side point, first game on red wine, less loo breaks but a bit pony. Discuss?

PS would love to see Wales do the slam now. Excellent team!
