I agree with the commentator that said the better team lost and I was barracking for Wales (see above) ... but that tackle had to be a red card. It wasn't really the refs decision. If you lift a player it's your responsibility to put him down safely and that means shoulders above the hips. You can't get him base above apex and then drop him. I'm sure the refs have had clear instructions about that and the ref followed them. It's a real pity that a rush of blood had such consequences. That's two one point loses Wales suffered in the tournament. If it's any consolation the player involved is quite young and so is the team in general and I reckon that they have a bright future.
