Bizarre situation here wher a Wales guy was sent off in the last minute yet, because of the stupid rules about clock ticking whilst scrums get set, 15 minutes later with collapsed scrums and advantages all over the place, he's allowed back on! We are now in the 18th minute of time added on and the ball hasn't moved from its original position 5 yards from the welsh line. FFS!

20 (TWENTY) minutes into added time, France get the ball over the line for the win. That's like 25 minutes time added on in a football match (with no injuries). Never seen anything like that before. This needs to be sorted out to ensure this stupid situation never happens again! In case you're wondering... France were camped on the Welsh 5 yard line and probably had 15 penalty kicks awarded in the time added on but they needed a try for the win so couldn't kick it. In the last minute, a welsh guy was yellow carded for 15 minutes but, since every scrum collapsed and people 'needed' treatment, and the clock continues for both scenarios, the guy who was sent off in the last minute came back on for the last 5 minutes! Laughable!

Sounds like a stupid sport to me period. Never ever got into it and don't understand why anyone does.

Didn't see it as was watching a different laughable performance at Easter Road.
You have to admire the discipline of both sides to avoid either a penalty or stoppage ( knock on etc) against France which would have ended the game for a Welsh win or if Wales had intentionally kept bringing the scrum down or continually stopping the French in an illegal manner the ref would have to award a penalty try under the posts which afterall is what France were looking for. To keep it just legal for this length of time at the end of 80 minutes rugby is unusual. Normally in this situation the ref awards the penalty try so I will have to watch it to see how bad the welsh infringements were which meant a penalty try wasn't awarded.
Both sides know these rules so have to keep to them and would have made the tension and atmosphere within the stadium fantastic.........and thats coming from a welshman.
cymru am byth..........well next year perhaps
Oh and well done Ireland, brilliant disciplined perfomance against a very good English side.
