Hala'ufia should have been nowhere near this list...it was a magnificent hit and a disgrace to the game that he was carded at all.

agree with irishinlondon, the Chris Hala'ufia hit was a prime example of big man meets little man and physics doing the rest. One wonders if some ref's have ever played rugger in their life

Whoever wins the most games between England and Wales prior to the world cup should get to choose where their pool match is played...

@LindsayG - I thought the penalty against Read and the one against Farrell for being off his feet at the ruck when he was stood bolt upright were the only real blemishes on that game, to be fair; Clancy had one of his better games.

How about a reference to the All Blacks abilty to take defeat on the chin. Not blame the Norovirus, Interesting refereeing intrepretations, (penalising Read for jumping in the Kick Receipt) thought their responses were the perfect example of sportmanship.

If only the coaches here in Wales were taking notes.

How can you have Chris Hala'ufia in the not section, it was a perfect big hit! ot should be the officials and and Judiciary panel who are NOT hot. You can't take hits like that out of the game, they are the ones we all strive to do and love to watch!

Come on... The WRU guy was obviously having a bit of fun and in fairness the response was firmly toungue in cheek also. I saw this as the start of the 3 year banter war that's going to start across the border. As an Englishman living in Scotland I thoroughly enjoyed this in the lead up to the last world cup (more than the world cup as it ended up!).

Can we please move on from the Farrell Selection? I agree it was wrong, but the poor guy must be fed up of hearing that he should never have been conisdered! Seems harsh on the young guy.

Technically, France reaching the Cup SF in Dubai after beating Fiji was kind of unexpected too. France 7 ain't a superpower...

And 17 do not make 21...
