The referee got it absolutely right with the head to head in the first half. I am unhappy with the way we play dirty tricks rugby at times. Wales are better than that.
Fun competitive game between two well matched teams. Albeit..second tier...not the Roses, Ferns, Canada , France or even Italy. Still fun Rugger! Prorps girls!
Wales, for the fist time since the days of the fabulous Elinor Snowsill, were back to winning ways against South Africa with the combination of Lockwood and Bevan at 9 and 10. Then Lockwood went off and although South Africa out-scored Wales for this period, the difference was too much and Wales still won. But now it's back to the old loosing formula of George at 10! Why? After the Lockwood, Bevan experiment was such a success? The drive and ambition that Bevan had at 10 was like watching Snowsill again. There is something so lacking with George at 10, just going through the motions and lacking the drive and ambition that a great 10 needs. George just has a powerful but rather inaccurate boot - it is not enough!
После 18-й минуты матч можно было и не проводить. А получать удовольствие от нескончаемого повтора засчитанной второй попытки. Всего 15 минут потребовалось рефери на принятие решения. На 60-й минуте рефери сорвала атаку команды Уэльса. У игрока выбили из рук мяч, выбили назад, мяч подобрала подруга по команде, а рефери посчитала игру вперед и отдала мяч американкам. Последние семь минут все решения в пользу американок. У команды Уэльса не было шансов. Судейство мне категорически не понравилось. Москва .
