If you did not see the match how do you really know?
"had it won" ? - not until the final whistle.
Anyway a very hard game and Wales were streets ahead with their turnover ball, but the RED ROSE were also excellent but well played by both teams.
Courage is grace under pressure and when circumstances change you change your mind.
England did look very dangerous with the ball in hand - the problem was that Wales turned over so much ball that their opportunities were limited.
What impresses me about this England team is their strength of character and their indepth conviction they can win. I was hugely impressed when Farrell was hit with a very late tackle from Moriarty - did he complain not at all, he sucked it in and grinned - that is waht this England team are about and make one so proud.
As an FYI, Super Rugby 2017 season starts next week in New Zealand, Australia and Africa. Argentina and Japan being part of the African conferences. Pete
i remember when the first substiturion ruke was introduced, just one and reserved for significant injury, then to 5 generous number-- but now its rather like american football half the team replaced by the final whistle
With Super Rugby underway the poor Japanese Sunwolves just went down to the Wellington Hurricanes 83 to 17. They didn't give up though and scored the last try of the match. The Hurricanes are last year's champions and they are almost like playing the All Blacks as their team consists of many/mostly All Blacks. Why they schedule the champion against the last place team from the previous season as a first match is a mystery to me. The Sunwolves have character though and will be better going forward. Pete
