That's pretty darn close. Waited for the '11 to eventually turn up and opened it tonight. Doesn't seem to show on the quite pleasant nose though. Day 2 might mel oh! it. |

Sacred Hill 2010 can be bought at Sainsbury and Morrisons. Tesco online has far better MSB's than it does in store. I quite liked the 2010 Kim Crawford and the 2011 has won a gold somehere. I wouldn't buy any of the in store MSB's. The Finest Sancerre ( fading fast ) is still by far it's best sb. I thought Strettle scored.  There was one camera angle where he definitely grounded the ball.

[quote="tribs"]Looks down to me here, but video ref wouldn't have had that angle. Oh well. It is definitely down. Isn't the argument more about who ? The ref can see through the angle, I'm sure of that. There is Welsh man picking it up - Whose that ? A brilliant run by Hughes - I'll give the Welsh their dues on this occasion, because I don't think our man had the weight and power to touch the ball down. Can you do frame by frame freeze Goose or Tribs ? I suppose watch again on BBC I player might reveal something. It aint goona change the score though  No one played very well, both sides agree - Hughes had the flash of magic when it counted. Brilliant wide angled conversions though, when it counted, on each occasion by both teams.
If a Welshman says that was a Try - I'll give them the benefit of the doubt 
Next time...... G & Ba, thanks for the MSB & SB advice. |
