Not at all, or else I might have said something like "I hope Halfpenny has had to pull out through injury." But I didn't, you see?

You do seem to be a bit thin-skinned though.

Portugal are really refreshing. Just that last 22m is the problem.

Yep, scoreline doesn't quiet reflect the Portuguese effort. Should have at least 10 points. Poor discipline gave Wales too many chances to get that score.

Not as bad as having to listen to the token sex offender's commentary at 1/2 time.

Ref riding the Port scrum a little unfairly, both those replays showed the Wales prop breaking bind first and going down.
