He won a turnover-penalty.
Turnover penalty where he wasn’t even close to supporting his bodyweight. Competent ref would’ve penalised him.

Backrow played well, but they’re lack of lineout prowess in comparison to Tips, Toby cost us a lot of possession today.

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

What we have taken for granted over the years is just how great Tipuric, Warbs and Tony have been as lineout operators.

Today with Navidi, Young and Wainwright it showed the need for a top class line out jumper operator in the back row the compliment the two second rows.

Re: Jeff's All New and Contented Wales Ratings v SA

After years of watching Alex Cuthbert looking lost on a rugby field, it’s so so refreshing to watch Josh Adams do the basics and defend well. He’s nailed down that 11 jersey. Wainwright reminds me a lot of Andrew Coombes run in the team, only playing due to injuries and putting in a solid display. B...

Re: Scotland v Wales RBS 6Ns Championship 2017 Round 3

For me only two of that Scottish XV get in the Welsh XV. Hogg (And thats for a Lions Man of the Series) and J.Gray (and for me I'd rather have Charteris).

Struggling to see how the bookmakers have this pretty much 50:50. Perhaps it's the homefield advantage.
