World Cup

Wales V France, Yes Alain Rolland(the ref) didn't help at all and despite putting us at a dis-advantage for over 60 minutes,He wasn't the one who missed 3 penalties and a conversion,He wasn't the one who made Mike Philips touch down in the corner when he could of got a lot closer to the posts( maybe if Mike hadn't been pointing to the ground and mocking the french player he would of).
As proud and Gutted as i am the harsh reality is Wales got beat by France and South Africa and in both games it was Welsh mistakes that cost us.
In the 2005 and 2008 grand slam we hardly missed a kick, if this had been replicated in the world cup then we would be World Cup Finalist with or without Sam Warburton.

Well the penalty deffo went over in the south Africa game.....but we didn't get the points for it, so the reality was that we had scored more points than the springboks.

The ball has to go between the posts not over the post, even if it is kicked higher than the top of the posts.So we didnt score more than the Boks.
