Despite a strong domination during the entire game, Toulouse could not qualify against the Welsh team.
As Guy Novès told, the Toulouse players now have to learn how to fall down in their opponents side without being seen, as the Welsh players seem to be very good at. Yes, that game was definitely stolen by Mr. Chris White who was reffing it and never saw the various obvious faults done by that Welsh team that was nearly never in position to score a try.
Having been a ref in another sport previously, I generally avoid criticizing reffing, particularly in rugby where referees are very respected and most often very wise. But I'm afraid that Mr. Chris White (ENG) is a strong exception to this.
Should I also mention a denied try by Stade Toulousain where a so-called forward pass by Dusautoir was done....by a welsh foot? Or the voluntary offside playing by Mr. Williams when Dusautoir was stopped 10 meters aways from the try line?
Sad. Really sad. The worst team won.
