Just except it mate, You lost and there's no excuse for it. We put out a CLUB team, and lest you think that's a good move it's usually not folks. Out of all the BETTER players that could be found in the Cardiff Blues, The Scarlets, Newport etc. You'd be talking through your backside if you said our side was only stronger because we put out a club side. That right there is a DISadvantage. Now you can sit here and say you put out a side of youngsters and I can sit here and say you selected a side of youngsters selectively from every Club side in England and they lost to the Ospreys. Because If what Urban said is true and it wasn't just because he was looking for excuses. Then he can admittadely accept that England didn't lose to Wales, England lost to the Ospreys, England lost to a Welsh club side, England lost to a side that consists of not even our Capital, But the lesser populated accumilated efforts of Swansea and Neath. Am I correct in saying this and this being less shamefull? (That's right, bull**** it is) You could sit here all day and debate as to why every player in that English squad might have been at a disadvantage in that game, why the game was in our favour BUT at the end of the first half I believe the ball was in your court lads. The Welsh side came out on top in a fair game of rugby because they played fantastically well in the second half, there's no way that can be discredited. That is quite simply what happened. And anyone who says otherwise, without a doubt is simply blinded by patriotism.

Now tell me what I'm missing here, but as far as I'm aware I watched that game and I didn't see England being at any stronger disadvantage and If you guys want we can leave it there...

End of the day I can see this as one of those debates that's impossible to end, we could sit here and argue circles around each other about everything from the weather to the capabilities of each player in both sides until our fingers bleed, Just the same as could have the events proceeding the match if England have won but i'd much rather this be seen as simply a match in which both England and Wales put out a two sides picked selectively by both sides and Wales came out on top this time at the end of the day and this time round we came out the better side.

There's no excuses for that, that's just what happened in this particular match.
