I don't think the scoreline flattered the Welsh, but it was unfairly harsh on the English. It was a good game, and at the end of the first half, there was still all to play for,

I'm a bit disappointed and fair play to the welsh. You played well and fully deserved the win.

Atleast i can console myself in the fact that egg chasing isn't a very important sport. God forbaid it was football or cricket!!

[meatboy]

come on guy's get over it,there is still some fantastic rugby to come SUPER 15.

[nellyp]

Sometimes it's disappointing to be a Welsh supporter, sometimes it"s frustrating. But sometimes it"s brilliant. I'm sad for Ireland, but even sadder that the only good rugby they played was against us. Back to back Grand Slams would have been immense.

yes steve walsh at his best if i had been an england supporter i wouldnt have been happy,there is history with him england officials had him banned 2003 so i expect he thought revenge is sweet.looking at his career as an official and the previous should he have been appointed.well lets see what comes of this complaint by england,not sour grapes by them as he did have one or two smirks on his face.if it is found that he has been biased against eng.that should be his last game we dont need this in our great game.

^ poor form and totally unprofessional from Rowntree to go crying to the media.

After any such match both sides furnish a referee's report, the referee's performance is peer-reviewed in every instance.

For Rowntree to pre-empt the formal review process he comes across as nothing but a sore loser.

Wait till the review processes are complete, then comment.

^ I didn't see the Stormers/Crusaders match - very surprised at the result to be honest I didn't give Crusaders a chance and expected to read of a 15-20 point loss this morning.

Enjoyed Chiefs Blues, low scoring and great defence both sides

I'd picked seven wins for home teams this weekend, now on four from six, with one to go this afternoon - won't watch that one, Waratahs v Force.

Heineken Cup Quarter finals

Harlequins 12 - Munster 19

5 to 1 before the start. Munster put on a fine performance led by inspirational Captain Paul O'Connell, just back from long term injury.

Very exciting encounter, close throughout with Munster having the edge. I'm very happy today

[tigerfish]

just wondering if anyone has an opinion on the Lions squad which was announced today.

would have been great to see Johnny Wilkinson make it, but i can understand the reason behind him not going.

a bit shocked not to see Chris Robshaw not included and that's not just because i am English. just think he has been at the top of his game now and set a very high standard for the past 2 years or so. and believe me that's a real compliment coming from a Wasps supporter talking about a Harlequin player.

again a bit disappointed not to see a few more Scots make the squad. think they have come on as a nation playing as a good unit with some real talent among their ranks.

cant really argue with the Welsh contingent and it was always going to be on the cards, especially with Gatlands close relationship with the principality. not too convinced about some of the Irish lads in there a long with some of the older picks. yes experience is priceless on a tour of this nature, but i think hes gone a bit wrong somewhere a long the line with his choices although i do hold him in the highest regard and esteem as a coach.

think the Aussies will feel they can pick at a few weaknesses though, plus use their home advantage of staging the tests as an even bigger weapon now. where as before i would have had the Lions to trounce them into the turf this time around before today's announcements and strong favorites up against a weaker injury hit Wallaby side.

I note you didn't make the squad mate.....hope that ankle injury has healed up now?

yes mate, back in good working order and fully fit.

just gutted though i didn't make the squad !

no not that squad, the one that goes on tour around OZ taking in all the drinking traditions and customs from the locals.

but as you have probably guessed by now, Mrs TF nipped that idea in the butt a long time ago.

Am I right in thinking that the Lions tour clashes with the Scotland trip to South Africa, so while it is a bit embarrassing to be contributing so little, it leaves us better-placed for our own duties? We don't have quite the same breadth of talent to spare as the English or Irish ...

Glasgow Sevens at the weekend, bytheway, though the Star Sports coverage is limited

Elsewhere, the fora are full of Welsh fellas whinging about the weakness of their regional teams and how they can't support four regions. Maybe the solution would be for one of the regions to switch codes...

I might dip down to the Reef tonight, it's a bit of a dive, but the friendliest pub in the neighbourhood. Not on a rugby night, though, their TV sports selection leaves a lot to be desired. Pool's more the game down there.

I was surprised at Robshaws omission, also Rory Best. I'm not surprised about JW but am by the fact we only have 2 FHs. As a james hook supporter I would have liked to have seen him go as he can play 3 positions, but as a welsh supporter not that shocked. Owen Farrell going is another strange pick if you ask me. generally a good choice of tourists though and i seriously believe we could win the 3 tests, even with so many Welshmen in the squad
