In his column in Wales on Sunday, Barry John comes to terms with Saturday's heart-breaking Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat by France.
"What could have been. And what should have been.
"Wales should today have been celebrating a deserved a World Cup final spot but instead we are a rugby nation in mourning.
"Walking through the streets of Cardiff yesterday after the heartbreaking semi-final defeat against France, there were people wandering around in disbelief.
"There was some anger directed towards French referee Alain Rolland for sending off Sam Warburton.
"I won’t go as far as to say that decision cost Wales victory. But they were agonisingly denied by decisions and circumstances out of their control."
