Oh definitely, the thing I am most annoyed about now is the lack of discipline as we got back into to it only to throw it away with stupid penalties.

You sir are a legend. As not many English fans can or want to see this

I’ve been saying it all weekend. England did it in one of the World Cup warm up games vs Wales too. That one was worse because Biggar took the pen quick from his own 60 yard line and then after north got tackled he kicked it to Adams on the other wing and they scored. England hadn’t set for either of them. It’s a serious problem which England haven’t addressed. I don’t think there is a player in the world more accurate than Biggar with the cross field kick. Adams, Williams and North would beat 90% of wingers too. Haven’t seen LRZ to know how good he is. Surely if your Eddie Jones your telling your team to alway look for Biggar to do a cross field. I think it’s the reason he didn’t react much. He knows it’s an issue for England. I’d be very suprised now if France and Ireland don’t look to exploit it

Yeah same here Freddie, I'm a bit annoyed at the BBC over this.

@@johndanter7834 i think all england fans feel like this after seeing it in real time.

Yep, couldn’t agree more, tbh BBC uses some of Squidges stuff so I’m guessing it’s a mutual back scratch, Nice One Squidge if you’re reading! 👍

It's a shame that it took so long, though, and for it to come out via a KZfaq poster (no disrespect to Squidge, who is superb). On the day, the Beeb focussed on 'how it would feel if it happened to you' over proper analysis at half-time, and at the end of the match showed a sequence that I thought showed quite a long period between Gauzere signalling time back on and then blowing his whistle. They did show the whole thing from one camera without any vision mixing or editing on Scrum V on Sunday, and I came away from that thinking that Gauzere had probably assumed that Wales would kick for goal, then had a bit of a panic after Biggar sauntered over and asked to be told when the clock was back on (whether he intended England to huddle with tea and sandwiches or not, that's what they've done, and Gauzere can't warn them that Biggar is planning a move, or allow them to completely reset because that wouldn't be fair on Wales as the side with the penalty, so he gave them a sort of warning then blew his whistle and then shouted 'time on' in case they hadn't got the hint). What that angle didn't show, though, was what England were doing during all of this as it was a telephoto shot of Biggar and Gauzere together. Farrell is also in shot then disappears to speak to his side, and there isn't a long time for him to (it is implied) call his team in and speak to them. You get the impression that the England left is covered when the kick is taken because May has been slow to come in, while cover on the right has run in at Farrell's summons, barely seconds before the ref has called play on. This new angle gives a far better understanding of what happened: England huddle while Farrell is being spoken to by the ref; Ford, not Farrell does the tactics talk and supervises the drinks break, and to his credit, Farrell's 'cut the daft penalties' speech is as short and to the point as you would expect it to be (the previous footage implies that he would barely have started speaking after summoning the drinks and gathering the team, which makes it look like Gauzere has waited for England to be at their most compact before screwing them over). It solves the question of why Farrell acted as if he thought he had been invited to take a time out (he didn't: Ford called the huddle and Farrell was as brief as you would expect him to be) and how England managed to get drinks onto the field in the (presumed) 10 seconds between Farrell being released by the ref to call his team in and speak to them and play restarting (as above: the drinks came on well before Farrell spoke to the referee, and England were under the posts for far longer than is implied). Interestingly, Farrell comes out of this better than he did in the previous interpretation (he doesn't initiate the tea party; he does have the brief word that you would expect him to have) and Ford worse (it's his assumption that Biggar will kick for goal that leaves England stranded, and while he does react faster than Watson, it's to cover his own mistake, not Farrell's). Gauzere also looks better when you see it like this: On Scrum V it looks like he's erred in implying that Wales will have to kick at goal (so Farrell will be fine calling the team in) then when Biggar comes over looking for the quick move, he panics because there's no way he can tell Biggar no, or warn England, without penalising Wales, and so choses the lesser evil of screwing England over rather than Wales (because England infringed). Here, it looks perfectly reasonable. Ford calls them in while Farrell speak to the ref (mistake, but recoverable if England are on their toes or if any of them spots that Biggar is up to something). Farrell relays a sensibly brief instruction, England do break up before time goes back on, and the referee gives Farrell time to do what he asked him to do and then get back into position provided they are sharp like May rather than slow like Watson.

@@chrishowell5718 an excellent assessment and one of the reasons why Wales are doing so well, they can adapt to what's in front of them. It was a good call by Biggar and Wales. I wish England were this adaptable *thinks back to THAT Italy game a few years back and shudders*.

If it had been the other way round, Martin Johnson would have been talking about how Wales went to sleep and England have the killer instinct.

Jacko Flacko, Check this identical kick pass from Owen Farrel to Chris Ashton against Edinburgh. Brilliant try according to the commentators... I agree 👍 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7WShtGrvtzTnX0.html

We can only hope it's a false dawn

Luck evens out eventually. Plus this Welsh team does something I've never seen a Welsh team do - they take every chance that comes their way. I'm confident that Wales are slowly building into a very decent team, with the biggest squad of potential players I've ever seen Wales enjoy. So we have depth, we have a half-decent pack, a line-out, a scrum, a beautifully balanced back-row - that will get even better when Ellis Jenkins is on one of the flanks - and, for the first time in the twenty first century, we have a replacement front row that is at least as good at scrummaging as the players they replace. We've two young, brilliant wingers, and I'd love to see Zammit at full-back eventually. His speed is such that a line-break would practically guarantee a try.

​@@dekenba6482 Good points. I'm just wary at these results since the wins have just started coming in when during each game something really jammy has happened.

@@PhilipE-tg2jn Having lived through Welsh rugby in the 1980's, 1990's and early 2000's, I will take any success as it comes! At one point around 2000, I though Wales would never beat England or France again, and the idea of a Triple Crown was pie in the sky, whilst a Grand Slam was not even as close to reality as a fairy tale. So a Triple Crown out of nowhere is just so delicious, and if it turns into a Grand Slam, I'm going to mercilessly troll the fans of the other 5 nations.

@@dekenba6482 I agree. There are many Welsh supporters who appear to forget how bunk Wales were in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I remember getting within 10 points of any of the other 5 nations teams was seen as being a great performance.

Yup, it was a proper dumb moment. Biggar hadn't opted to go for the posts and Farrell only needed to speak to Itoje.

The issue is consistency. If this is what the referee felt, then he should've said something. The idea you can reasonably do something like this without giving the captain a warning that the huddles are taking too long is stupid.

@@Heardyousmile I feel you've missed the point, or I haven't said it very well. but as a side note, i believe this was their first huddle, so its not that the ref is punishing them for taking too long, or decided not to tell them. its not the refs job to manage a team. (there was a game italy vs england , where the italians where using a rule to deny england the right to ruck for the ball, i forget it exactly, but the english team didnt know what to do legally, and when asking the ref he said it wasnt his job to teach them the rules), similar to that here, its not the refs job to make them play the game, England are perfectly entitled to take a 40 minute huddle if they want, provided they arent holding up the game clock (ie not kicking off after a try is scored). its not the refs job to tell them "guys wales are about to take a tap and go, best get set". as squidge noted, other games and refs have actually given less time after telling captains to talk to their players before the other team took their penalty. As international (and i would expect club level players to know) taking a huddle in these circumstances wasnt the time or place. Furthermore, he didnt blow time on beacuse they were in a huddle, it was because there was no reason for time to be off any longer. no one was injured, receiving treatment, no substitutions were being made. Bigger asking for time to be back on shows that the ref was actually being kind giving them any time at all. time wasnt off for england to have a chat, it was off for the ref to reprimand the English captain. its then largely at wales discretion as to when the game resumes, at the will of the ref. England know this. taking a huddle infront of their try line while wales are setting up was actually stupid. Farrell complaining that the ref had to give them time to set is wrong, he doesnt, thats the point of a tap penalty and giving the carrier 10 metres before he can be tackled. hopefully ive said it better. but basically England shouldnt have been in a huddle, and its not the refs job to tell them not to be. (Also consistency in this try score wasn't an issue, consistency to what, time goes back on when theres no impedance to the game such as an injured player, and he started the game again when there was nothing stopping play from commencing, and as squidge noted other refs and games have given less time in the past)

I will however say as my personal opinion, or if I was a world class ref what I would have done, is that the ref in this particular instance perhaps should have given England a verbal warning to get set. There are only two reasons for this. The first is that when time was called of and the ref talked to Farrell he told him to talk to his team and then didn't immediately put time back on, however I feel this is a weak reason as ive detailed in my previous comments. The other reason, which I'd say is stronger, is that he should have called out for the water carriers to get off the pitch, then maybe less than 5 seconds later called time on. This is something refs do, they will call "water off" or even tell the water carriers bit come on the pitch at all, given that he allowed the water carriers on, he maybe should have warned England but only by telling the water carriers to get off. However I still stand by my above comments. It's not the refs job to manage England and tell them how to set up for a Welsh penalty.

​@@dooker15 If there was no reason for ENG to have a huddle then there was no reason to stop the clock. Either the clock shouldn't have been stopped in the first place or the penalty shouldn't have been allowed without allowing ENG to set. Both are the responsibility of the referee. It's may not be the ref's job to manage the teams, but it is his job to manage the game and this inconsistency in his decision making is what caused the try. ENG had every right to expect to be told when time was back on and be given enough time to set before the kick. I also find it a little funny that your reference to a similar situation in ENG v ITA literally prompted a change to the offside rule because it wasn't in the spirit of the game.

Ref stop the time to talk to Farrell and England did try to take profit of it, bringing water, and talking tactics. So they were not suppose to be not ready. You can see they were really waiting for the penalty and as pointed out by Squidge it is something they must have noticed on video as they do it all the time

And for the arrival of the tee, it never has properly arrived so I don't see any issue

@@joeloutau4956 Wales also brought on the water carriers?

@@jstone5239 Wales is also in the offense so...

I think you’re being overly magnanimous. England were giving away penalties right from the first whistle. Their indiscipline was shocking throughout. My club’s 5th team is better at adapting to the ref, and the fact England couldn’t do so is embarrassing.

Makes me love the game even more

I guess looking on the bright side at least he didn't get found out in a Lion's test match? I love watching itoje, when he manages to stay on the right side of the law he's fantastic to watch and a really bloody nuisance to watch when he plays against Wales. He still has two games to work on it. He will 100% be on the plane, wherever it ends up, so he'll have the warm up games to right his wrongs also.

@@randomcomputer7248 nothing unsporting about their play at all. Is every team going to wait around for the other team to be ready before they play.

France should end pretty much any team in the world on their day. Will be interesting to see what happens. As for Ireland, Scotland and England, a disappointing tournament.

I would really like to see another captain honestly... Farrell is a good player but I’ve never backed him as a captain... have you seen the way Tom Curry has been training with George Martin? That’s what a captain looks like in my opinion... Hopefully we get to see that.

Agree totally with your (2) and (3). Not sure about (1) - I think Ford is the best 10 we have, and Farrell is captain, so that is your 10 and 12. No idea who our 9 should be but none of the subs that replace Youngs fills me with confidence.

This video should definitely be watched by everyone on the BBC commentary team. The way the BBC showed it gave the impression that Farrell called his team in because of what he was told by the ref. This shows that that isn't true. I'd love to see Nige Owen's reaction to this angle, and whether he thinks England were in fact given time (I agree with Squidge that they were, but they didn't all use it; I suspect that Nigel Owens doesn't think that play should wait for England to be ready before it is restarted, just that they should have time to get ready).

but waffles

1 word, Waffles

It's superb analysis, isn't it? That's what the BBC should have been putting together in the 20 minutes before halftime, rather than getting their retired star players to imagine how they would feel if it happened to them. If 20 minutes wasn't enough, they should have had it ready for the end of the match over an hour later, or in time for Scrum V the following day.

I dont think it does at all. Dont be fooled by the fact that May got to his wing. Mays movement is irrelevant. What an individual player chooses to do is not relevant to the fact that, as time was off the ref should have treated both captains fairly by giving them both warning that time was soon to come back on and getting the nod from both that they have acknowledged his warning and are ready. That's how a kick off starts. Where is the rule that says when some players leave a huddle and go back to their positions the ref starts a count down in his head for time on? Courtesy and good game management dictate that he should have alerted the players still huddling, on both sides as Welsh players had their backs turned too, to prepare themselves. What the extra footage actually shows is how many welsh water carriers are on the pitch in positions that are deemed as interfering with play. At the very least the ref should have told both teams clearly to prepare for time to be back on so that the non playing personnel could leave the field.

Be careful what you wish for, the 1014 were scooped up by some TV money and now what little content they make isn’t available to view outside of New Zealand.
