It is definitely turning into a strange 6 Nations tournament. Not so much when you look at the table (although no-one would have predicted Wales languishing at the bottom) but the matches themselves. So many near upsets.
The Scotland-Ireland match was a bad natured affair and Ireland nearly threw it all away. A match decided by penalties. It is best glossed over.
The Italy-Wales match was heartbreaking. The better team definitely won, Italy have most of the possession and the territory. A lot of controversy over the fact that Wales kicked for touch at the end thinking that they had been told by the ref that there was time to play on. But, in reality, that never guaranteed a try anyway. They were brave enough to go for the win rather than the draw and that deserves some credit. I normally say it is not good to complain about decisions going the wrong way as in the next match it will go the other way. I think I can honestly say that isn't how this tournament has gone. Whenever a choice has gone against Wales it seems to have done so.
