We'd also have won if we'd scored more tries (Blythe on the corner flag) and tackled their try scorers before they got to the line. That's a FACT too.
I disagree. Despite the completely gratuitous abuse yet again needlessly coming from a certain poster, (of which I must say I am becoming pretty fed up - do we really need this?) the reason I restricted my remarks to Addy's 2 missed kicks was because the first was a conversion attempt, so whether it went over or not didn't change the course of the game in any way, and I am of course assuming that if the second kick had gone over, we would have been able to see the match out. The latter is, of course, not 100% certain but given the time left on the clock it will do for me.
I know you were just being facetious, but actually, alternatives like your "also's" don't wash, and aren't comparable; because (for example) if Blythe had scored, then it would have resulted in a kick-off restart, and the entire course of the rest of the game would have been completely different. So it would just be speculation.
The stuff about "if we'd scored more tries than them" is not argument, but banality, and I expect better from you. I don't know why you pretend not to understand the point, but let me ask YOU then; if Addy's last kick had put us if front, do you think we would have won? What percentage chances do you think there would have been for Wakey to save the game?
