What a sad way to leave the world cup.
That tackle was dangerous, it deserved a penalty. And it likely deserved a yellow card. But a red card? No *%!$ing way!
Wales scored the only try and ended up losing by just one point after playing three quarters of the game with only 14 men – they were the better, braver side.
Pretty much the only decision of David Cameron’s that I’m ever likely to whole heartedly support is the flying of the Welsh flag above Downing Street today.
Wales have been playing well this tournament, a close loss against South Africa and then four good wins. France have taken their customary unpredictableness to a level that somtimes approaches insanity. If we get the France that lost against Tonga then we should win easily. If we get the France that beat England then it will be a close match.
Wales have only made the semi-Finals once before and have never been in a Final. Forty minutes to go until kick off. Fingers crossed.
That was far too close for comfort. Wales made far too many errors and only two good tries saved the day.
relievedYes. Result.
My prediction before the tournament started was that it would be scrappy with no grand slam. Scrappy it certainly is, as for the rest? We’ll see.
