that pen was harsh - looked like the ball was channelled back.
Only watching for last 10 but Wales not getting much from Joubert so far.. few high tackles missed. Looked like blatant kill there also. No doubt host broadcaster wont show again
fair play wales, having a right go, looking very dangerous.
Wales looking far better than Australia
It's only the ref who has kept Australia in the game.

the pen count is getting silly, next one in a dangerous area gets a card
wales do seem to have a commendable **** you attitude
It will be interesting to see the recording for all these pens.
I would have layed for there to be No Trys in that first half.Hasn't done my Overs bet any favours 
HT
12-9
rubbish DG attempt
I thought the Aussies were blatantly offside at the ruck though.

Inbetween this PEN **** there is some high intensity rugby.....something needs to be done..or it will turn in to football!!
just rewatched the last pen against Phillips
never a pen
could have been one against Australia for a high hit on Phillips at the maul .... arm to face.
I thought Phillips was part of the maul and had every right to be there.

consoling pat on the arm from North to Beale after his knock-on 
Australia allowed tomlie on the wrong side of the ruck w/o trying to move away.
INCREDIBLE !
INCREDIBLE !
Do Australis have special dispensation to lie on the wrong side of the ruck every breakdown?
morning all can't stand joubert takes forever to get these scrums back up
Australia collapse the scrum and the Welsh prop is told to keep the scrum up 
what is it with french refs and wales, allain rolland, craig joubert
How much time has been wasted in this game resetting scrums
If those scrums had been Wales defending you can't help thinking there would have been a pen try or a yellow.
Finally is right, had countless opportunities up until then. Ryan Jones has been in superb form.
Halfpenny that time. You cannot get aimlessly to this back three.
Just isnt meant to be for wales this series by looks of it
Joubert penalising 'no 1 ' who isn't even on the pitch
C'mon Wales, close it out now! Let's kill this tag of plucky underdogs.
What about the Australian forwards lying on the wrong side at the break down ? ? ?
Thats unbelievably stupid from Davies. Wales the better team but their discipline is appalling.
Well that was a very frustraiting game of rugby to watch considering the perfect playing conditions.
another stupid loss for wales :( had 37.5, 39.5, 41.5, 43.5 absolutely gutted! joubert didn't help points either
story of the match was the reffing.
Wales by far the better team.

hate hearing all this stuff from comms about so much heart etc. wales came here to win series against not a great aussie side and have lost 3-0. poor imo
It's difficult to win when the ref is so completely against you.
Australian forwards consistently lying on the ground ... usually the wrong side ... and never penalised !

Nothing worse when your on Overs and within a converted Try and then you have to suffer watching the Wallabies run the clock down(or watching the clock getting eaten up with all those scrum resets all game) TallPaul
Can't blame the ref. Wales could and should have won regardless. Had the ball on the Aus 22 with 5 to play, gave away a soft pen, marched back 10 for lip, then gave away a really cheap penalty on their own 10m line when that was the one thing they couldn't afford to do.
yep stewards hook would have cantered over at the end there :( game was gone then
like i said, what is it with the french refs and wales, rolland and joubert
Wales slow to get going in the 1st test after half the squad arrived late.
should have won the 2nd test if only they had run the clock down as Australia did today.
For me today was all about a biased ref.

For me today was all about a biased ref.
at least 2 high tackles went unpenalised. am sure if we had made a high tackle he'd have give them a pen and us a yellow.
It wasn't just the pens against Wales but the ones he didn't give against Australia.
constant lying on the ground sealing off which is what Wales were penalised for early in the game.

Despite all that, Wales had the opportunity to close it out and weren't able to so. Huge chance to get the monkey off their back and they blew it.
I must admit the Wallabies were slowing the ball down all game making no attempt to move which went unnoticed(not by us, just Joubert)
Wales need to find a decent captain to communicate with the ref. Right or wrong buttering up the ref has a huge influence on marginal calls.

Joubert is South African.
Rolland is only half French ....... I've got more of a problem with Irish referees than French ones.

2 goes and still nets one.
Best side lost, but when it happens 3 times you have to ask why..

Wales should have won this series 2-1 instead they go home winless
No point in Wales being Six Nations winners when they can't represent the tournament creditably on the world stage. 3 matches and a whitewash against an average Australian team. Let's hope England get the Six Nations back next year and can restore some credibility to northern hemisphere rugby. 
And if England do win the six-nations they will restore credibility by......... getting beaten time after time in SA?
Six-nations winners have been taking beatings down under for many years and at least Wales came close to winning. Not sure how many better chances the NH will get than that tour though, Wales certainly blew it big style.

Wales played pretty averagely in this series and really only narrowley lost via some terrible reffing aided by Preistlands dire kicking.He really has to go,time to give Biggar a run out.
Whats the obsession with Priestland? Gatland is usually fairly ruthless when it comes to axing players. Fair enough Priestland had a great WC but he was average before it and has been since. I don't think Biggar is the answer unless Wales want to copy the Saffer game plan.
only one thing for it so, bring back the brave warrior Stephen Jones
