Wales calls for rugby games to be limited to 70 minutes

Welsh rugby fans have called for matches to be limited to 70 minutes.
Wales would have beaten Scotland in their Six Nations match yesterday if the ref had called time ten minutes earlier.
Rugby fan Wayne Wonderbelly told WalesOnCraic:
He told WalesOnCraic:
“We’ve seen this time and time again. For many years, it would have been Australia who were the ones scoring in the last few minutes and stealing the game. We saw the same thing happen at the Principality Stadium yesterday. If the game was limited to 70 minutes, we would have definitely won that game. As it was, the Scottish snuck in there and took the game from us. We propose that all games in the future should only last 70 minutes - and providing we’re still winning.”
Other fans have called for the game to be even shorter. Reggie Dipstick, a lifelong Welsh rugby fan said:
“I think that if Wales at any point go into the lead, the game should be stopped and we should be awarded the win.”
Wales came very close to a much-needed win after putting in an improved performance in Cardiff. The squad will now have a rest before facing Ireland in March.
