Did it nip round you Michael with a gallic sidestep and show you a clean pair of frogs legs as it dived over the double yellow line for a try.

Fancy a frog at an Italian restaurant.

Maybe... but the best teams still manage to walk away with something even though they've been out-played.... tenacity, you could say. Had Wales got that late try, I'm sure they wouldn't have seen it as a hollow victory, but one that was hard-fought.
Contrast this game with the scrappy, dull Ireland England match. Also does irritate me immensely that Inverdale moves straight on to dissecting why England lost rather than praise Ireland for being the better side. He did exactly the same thing when Wales beat them. Getting a bit sick of the England Broadcasting Corporation being a licence paying Celt.
Most people are entertained by England being ruthlessly destoyed by the pundits. Besides that most viewers are English for a BBC broadcast - the same happens on BBC Wales where the Welsh are only interested in the talk about Wales win or lose.

    • "Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) mast? "Crystal Palace transmitter - Crystal Palace transmitter: Possible effect on TV reception week commencing 12/05/2025 Pixelation or flickering on some or all channels" says https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/tv/Crystal_Palace. In which case I don't see any point in rescanning (not that it'll do any harm). I've not noticed any signal degradation at all, TV or BBC radio, so it sounds as if it's probably intermittent.  Ah -  I did notice a couple of brief  R4 breaks yesterday, and assumed they were studio glitches.  I don't think either lasted more than a minute.
