Gareth Anscombe is adamant that he should have been awarded a first half try but does not believe the failure of the television match official, Glenn Newman, to award it was the difference between victory and defeat for Wales. Anscombe appeared to have beaten Anthony Watson to the bounce in the 24th minute but Newman ruled otherwise to deny Wales a potential seven points. As the referee, Jérôme Garcès, had been playing advantage, they had a penalty under the posts which Rhys Patchell kicked. We were confident when we saw the first replay and started jogging back to our own half. It was a rollercoaster 24 hours but it was good to get out there and try and have an impact on the game.
